Laravel 11 is now released terbaru

Laravel 11 is now released, including a minimum PHP v8.2, a new Laravel Reverb package, streamlined directory structure, and more...

#Laravel Reverb

Laravel Reverb is a new first-party WebSocket server for Laravel applications, bringing real-time communication between client and server. Some of the features of Reverb include.

Blazing Fast

Reverb is fine-tuned for speed. A single server can support thousands of connections and piping data without the delay and inefficiency of HTTP polling.

Seamless Integration

Develop with Laravel's broadcasting capabilities. Deploy with Reverb's first-party Laravel Forge integration. Monitor with baked-in support for Pulse.

Built for Scale

Infinitely increase capacity by utilizing Reverb's built-in support for horizontal scaling using Redis, allowing you to manage connections and channels across multiple servers.

Pusher

Reverb utilizes the Pusher protocol for WebSockets, making it immediately compatible with Laravel broadcasting and Laravel Echo.

#Streamlined Directory Structure

On a fresh install, the file count has dropped by ~ 69 files. Nice.

Check out our post on this complete new Laravel 11 Directory Structure

• Controllers no longer extend anything by default.
• No more middleware directory.

Currently, Laravel includes nine middleware and many you would never customize. However, if you do want to customize them, that is moved to the App/ServiceProvider. For example:

public function boot(): void
{
    EncryptCookies::except(['some_cookie']);
}

#No more Http/Kernel

Most of the things you used to could do in the Kernel you can now do in the Bootstrap/App.

return Application::configure()
    ->withProviders ()
    -›withRouting(
        web: __DIR__.'/../routes/web.php'
        commands: __DIR__.'/../routes/console.php',
    )
    ->withMiddleware(function(Middleware Smiddleware) {
        $middleware->web(append: LaraconMiddleware::class):
    })

#Model casts changes

Model casts are now defined as a method instead of a property. When defined as a method we can do other things, like call other methods directly from the casts. Here is an example using a new Laravel 11 AsEnumCollection:

 
protected function casts(): array
{
    return [
        'email_verified_at' => 'datetime',
        'password' => 'hashed',
        'options'=› AsEnumCollection::of(UserOption::class),
    ];
}

#New Dumpable Trait

This aims to streamline the core of the framework since multiple classes currently have "dd" or "dump" methods. Plus you can use this Dumpable trait in your own classes:

class Stringable implements JsonSerializable, ArrayAccess
{
    use Conditionable, Dumpable, Macroable, Tappable;
 
    str('foo')->dd();
    str('foo')->dump();
