This week, the Laravel team released v11.30, which includes defer testing helpers, the ability to define custom unique string IDs for Eloquent models, the use of backed Enums with AuthorizesRequests
, and more.
New withDefer()
and withoutDefer()
Test Helpers
Tim MacDonald contributed a withoutDefer()
and withDefer()
test helpers. Using withoutDefer()
is helpful when you are working with tests use defer, but you want to disable it to assert the outcome of the deferred call:
// ⌠will not work
User::create(/* ... */);
$this->assertAgainstSomeDeferredOutcome();
// ✅ Will work
$this->withoutDefer();
User::create(/* ... */);
$this->assertAgainstSomeDeferredOutcome();
See Pull Request #53340 for implementation on details on how these helpers work.
Introduce HasUniqueStringIds
Trait
Luke Kuzmish updated the code around HasUuids
and HasUlid
eloquent traits so that you can use custom unique string IDs as route keys without having to override resolveRouteBindingQuery()
. Here’s an example of how you could customize the types of unique strings your model uses:
trait HasTwrnsTrait
{
use HasUniqueStringIds;
public function newUniqueId()
{
return (string) Twrn::new();
}
protected function isValidKey($value): bool
{
return Twrn::isValid($value);
}
}
This update doesn’t introduce any breaking changes as the HasUuids
and HasUlid
model concerns now use the use HasUniqueStringIds
trait. See Pull Request #53280 for more details.
Allow authorize()
Method to Accept Enums
Johan van Helden updated the AuthorizesRequests
trait to accept backed enums directly. Laravel has recently received multiple updates to allow direct use of Enums in various parts of the framework. Here’s an example of using an Enum with the authorize()
method:
enum DashboardPermission: string
{
case VIEW = 'dashboard.view';
}
// Before
public function index(): Response
{
$this->authorize(DashboardPermission::VIEW->value);
//
}
// After
public function index(): Response
{
$this->authorize(DashboardPermission::VIEW);
//
}
