Laravel Prompts is Now Available in Laravel 10.17

The Laravel team released v10.17 with Laravel Prompts, a config:show Artisan command, a Collection method to ensure types and more.

Laravel Prompts

Laravel v10.17 includes a new dependency for the laravel/prompts package. Various built-in Artisan commands received updates to incorporate prompts into the experience, which feels neat! The documentation for Prompts can be found on the Laravel website.

And the final result after a controller is created successfully:

You can also see required validation in action if you hit return on a required input:

We highly recommend Watching Jess Archer's "Unveiling Laravel Prompts" talk from Laracon to learn more about them. Laravel Prompts improves the DX around to generator commands that create application code 🔥

The Prompts package is available on GitHub at laravel/prompts.

Add a `config:show` Artisan command

Francisco Madeira contributed a config:show Artisan command you can use to see configuration from the command line: You can see nested config values too:

New Collection::ensure() method

Chris Morrell contributed a new ensure() method on the Collection class that ensures the type of all items in the collection:

// $user is guaranteed to be a User or null
$user = collect($users)
  ->ensure(User::class)
  ->first();
