Laravel 9.28 Released

The Laravel team released 9.28 with console signal traps, test view data assertions, prevent silently discarding fillable values, and more:

Add view data assertions to TestView

Andrew Brown contributed three TestView assertion methods to assert view data:

$view = $this->view('welcome', [
    'name' => 'Taylor',
    'email' => 'user@example.com'
]);

$view->assertViewHas('name'); // true
$view->assertViewHas('name', 'Tyler'); // false

$view->assertViewHasAll(['name', 'email']); // true
$view->assertViewHasAll([
    'name' => 'Taylor',
    'email' => 'user@example.com',
]); // true

$view->assertViewMissing('nonda'); // true
$view->assertViewMissing('name'); // false

Get the intended session URL from the redirector

D. Nagy Gergő contributed a getIntendedUrl() method on the Redirector class to both get and set the intended redirect URL:

$redirect->setIntendedUrl('http://foo.com/bar');
$redirect->getIntendedUrl(); // http://foo.com/bar

Eloquent mode to prevent silently discarding fills for attributes

Ralph J. Smit contributed a model method to prevent discarding fills even if a model is not totally guarded. This is useful if you work on a Laravel codebase that uses fillable fields, but you also don't want to silently discard data passed.

This model is toggleable in a few ways; for example, you could use the environment to only trigger an exception in non-production environments:

Model::preventSilentlyDiscardingAttributes();

// Only prevent in non-production environments
Model::preventSilentlyDiscardingAttributes(
    ! app()->isProduction()
);

Signal traps

Nuno Maduro contributed the introduction of signal traps that allows you to catch process signals and execute code when they occur:

$this->trap(SIGINT, function () {
    // End the command's job gracefully ...
    // E.g: clean created files, etc ...

    $this->continue = false;
});

// trap multiple signals
$this->trap([SIGTERM, SIGQUIT], function ($signal) {

    $this->running = false;

    dump($signal); // SIGTERM or SIGQUIT
});

Support passing Enumerable objects to Stringable methods

Erik Gaal contributed the ability to pass enumerable objects to Stringable helper functions:

// Before
Str::remove($months->toArray(), $someString);

// After with an Enumerable object
Str::remove($months, $someString);
