    Dynamic Cache, Database, and Mail Builders in Laravel 11.31

    Dynamic Cache, Database, and Mail Builders in Laravel 11.31

    The Laravel team released v11.31, which includes dynamic cache/db/mail builders, a cache token repository, a URL::forceHttps() convenience method, and more.

    Cache Token Repository

    Andrew Brown contributed a cache token repository as an alternative way to store password reset tokens:

    This PR proposes a new CacheTokenRepository which will allow the password reset tokens to be handled via cache. IMO cache is a perfect storage medium because it can be more ephemeral, just like the password reset tokens.

    To enable this new CacheTokenRepository, adjust your config/auth.php like so:

    'passwords' => [

    //new cache driver
    'customers' => [
        'driver'   => 'cache',
        'store'    => 'passwords',
        'provider' => 'customers',
        'expire'   => 60,
        'throttle' => 60,
    ],

   //default old database driver
    'users'     => [
        'provider' => 'users',
        'table'    =>'password_reset_tokens',
        'expire'   => 60,
        'throttle' => 60,
    ],
],

    See Pull Request #53428 for details on the implementation.

    Dynamically Build Mailers On-Demand

    Steve Bauman contributed the ability to dynamically build a mailer and send it using the Mail::build() method. This allows developers to create mailers based on a given configuration instead of being hard-coded in the config files:

    use IlluminateSupportFacadesMail;

$mailer = Mail::build([
    'transport' => 'smtp',
    'host' => '127.0.0.1',
    'port' => 587,
    'encryption' => 'tls',
    'username' => 'usr',
    'password' => 'pwd',
    'timeout' => 5,
]);

$mailer->send($mailable);

    See Pull Request #53411 for discussion and implementation details.

    Add DB::build() Method

    Similar to the Mail::build() method, Steve Bauman contributed DB::build() to dynamically create new DB connections that are not defined in your configuration file:

    use IlluminateSupportFacadesDB;

$sqlite = DB::build([
    'driver' => 'sqlite',
    'database' => ':memory:',
]);

$mysql = DB::build([
    'driver' => 'mysql',
    'database' => 'forge',
    'username' => 'root',
    'password' => 'secret',
]);

$pgsql = DB::build([
    'driver' => 'pgsql',
    // ...
]);

$sqlsrv = DB::build([
    'driver' => 'sqlsrv',
    // ...
]);

    See Pull Request #53464 for details.

    Add Cache::build() to Create On-demand Cache Repositories

    Steve Bauman contributed the ability to dynamically build Cache repositories on-demand using the Cache::build() method. Similar to the DB and Mailer dynamic build method, you can create cache repositories not defined in your configuration file:

    use IlluminateSupportFacadesCache;

$apc = Cache::build([
    'driver' => 'apc',
]);

$array = Cache::build([
    'driver' => 'array',
    'serialize' => false,
]);

$database = Cache::build([
    'driver' => 'database',
    'table' => 'cache',
    'connection' => null,
    'lock_connection' => null,
]);

$file = Cache::build([
    'driver' => 'file',
    'path' => storage_path('framework/cache/data'),
]);

    See Pull Request #53454 for implementation details.

    Batch and Chain onQueue() Method Accepts Backed Enums

    Philip Iezzi contributed the ability to use a backed enumeration with the onQueue() method of a Bus chain:

    // Before
Bus::chain($jobs)
    ->onQueue(QueueName::long->value)->dispatch();

// After
Bus::chain($jobs)
    ->onQueue(QueueName::long)->dispatch();

    See Pull Request #53359 for implementation details.

    Add Application removeDeferredServices() Method

    Ollie Read contributed the removeDeferredServices() application method to remove a deferred service from the application container.

    // Before
$deferredServices = $app->getDeferredServices();

unset($deferredServices['auth.password'], $deferredServices['auth.password.broker']);

$app->setDeferredServices($deferredServices);

// After
$app->removeDeferredServices(['auth.password', 'auth.password.broker']);

    This use-case isn’t a common one that you’ll need, but this method compliments to get and set methods of deferred services nicely. See Pull Request #53362 for details.

    Ability to Append and Prepend Middleware Priority from the Application Builder

    Ollie Read contributed another low-level change to append and prepend middleware priority to the application builder, allowing access to add middleware after/before methods on the kernel:

    return Application::configure(basePath: dirname(__DIR__))
    ->withRouting(
        web: __DIR__.'/../routes/web.php',
        commands: __DIR__.'/../routes/console.php',
        health: '/up',
    )
    ->withMiddleware(function (Middleware $middleware) {
        $middleware->appendToPriorityList(
    [
        IlluminateCookieMiddlewareEncryptCookies::class,
        IlluminateContractsAuthMiddlewareAuthenticatesRequests::class,
    ],
    IlluminateRoutingMiddlewareValidateSignature::class
);

$middleware->prependToPriorityList(
    [
        IlluminateCookieMiddlewareEncryptCookies::class,
        IlluminateContractsAuthMiddlewareAuthenticatesRequests::class,
    ],
    IlluminateRoutingMiddlewareValidateSignature::class
);
    })
    ->withExceptions(function (Exceptions $exceptions) {
        //
    })->create();

    See Pull Request #53326 for further details.

    Add forceHttps() Method to Enforce HTTPs Scheme for URLs

    Dasun Tharanga contributed the forceHttps() method, which simplifies enforcing HTTPs for URLs requiring such. The method accepts a boolean, making it easy to force HTTPs for a given set of environments:

    URL::forceHttps(
    $this->app->isProduction()
);

URL::forceHttps(
    $this->app->environment('staging', 'production')
);

    See Pull Request #53381 for implementation details.
