Laravel 9.31 Released
The Laravel team released 9.31 with a request lifecycle duration handler, update model without changing timestamps, fake batches for testing, and more:
Request lifecycle duration handler
Tim MacDonald contributed a callback handler when a request lifecycle is longer than a given time limit:
use Carbon\CarbonInterval as Interval;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Http\Kernel;
public function boot()
{
if ($this->app->runningInConsole()) {
return;
}
$kernel = $this->app[Kernel::class];
$kernel->whenRequestLifecycleIsLongerThan(
Interval::seconds(1),
fn ($startedAt, $request, $response) => /* ... */
);
}
This callback is similar to the cumulative database query time released in Laravel 9.18 Released, but for the request lifecycle.
Model "without timestamps" feature
Tim MacDonald contributed a static withoutTimestamps() method where updated_at will not change:
$user = User::first();
// `updated_at` is not changed...
User::withoutTimestamps(
fn () => $user->update(['reserved_at' => now()])
);
Vite manifestHash function
Enzo Innocenzi contributed a manifestHash() method to the Vite class, that returns a unique hash if the manifest exists. This can be used to invalidate assets. See Pull Request #44136 for further details.
Fake batches
Taylor Otwell contributed fake batches:
It's currently hard to test things like if a batch was cancelled by a job or if a job added additional jobs to a batch. You have to create a FakeBatch manually and override the cancel / add methods, etc. - This solves that.
[$job, $batch] = (new TestJob)->withFakeBatch();
$job->handle();
$this->assertTrue($batch->cancelled());
$this->assertNotEmpty($batch->added);
Model getAppends() method
Arturo Rodríguez added an accessor method to Model to get the accessors that are being appended to model arrays. This could be useful for custom model mappings:
$model->getAppends();
Str wrap static method
Steve Bauman added a missing static Str::wrap() method, which was only available via Stringable:
Str::wrap('-bar-', 'foo', 'baz'); // 'foo-bar-baz'
str('-bar-')->wrap('foo', 'baz'); // 'foo-bar-baz'
Macroable vite
Tim MacDonald contributed the Macroable trait to Illuminate\Foundation\Vite to create aliases matching your JS config:
Vite::macro('image', fn ($asset) => $this->asset("resources/images/{$asset}"));
// Usage: <img src="{{ Vite::image('profile.png') }}" ... >
See Pull Request #44198 for further details.
