The Laravel team released 9.24 with new artisan "db" commands, a new built-in validation rule, restoring soft-deleted models without any events, making a Config repository macroable and more:

New database artisan commands

James Brooks and Joe Dixon contributed three new Artisan commands for databases: db:show, db:table, and db:monitor.

First, db:show gives you an overview of the database. It includes things like DB type, version, username, and more.

Next, the db:table command lets you see details about a table, including the number of rows, column details, indexes, and more.

Last, the db:monitor command lets you see things like the number of connections to the database.

Images are from Pull Request #43367, which has all the details about these commands.

A "does not end with" validation rule

@kichetof contributed a doesnt_end_with validation rule to check if a string doesn't end with a given substring. Here's an example from the pull request tests:

// Validation passes $v = new Validator( $trans, ['x' => 'hello world'], ['x' => 'doesnt_end_with:hello'] ); $this->assertTrue($v->passes()); // Validation fails $v = new Validator( $trans, ['x' => 'hello world'], ['x' => 'doesnt_end_with:world'] ); $this->assertFalse($v->passes());

Restore a "soft deleted" model without events

Venelin Iliev contributed a restoreQuietly() method that restores a soft-deleted model without raising any events.

$deletedModel->restoreQuietly();

Make Config repository macroable

Chris Kankiewicz contributed to adding the macroable trait to the Config repository so users can extend it in their apps:

config()->macro('sayHello', function () {
    return 'Hello, world';
});

config()->sayHello(); // Hello, world
