Process Facade Coming to Laravel 10

Laravel 10, due out next week, will introduce a Process layer for Laravel. Like the HTTP facade makes working with APIs a cinch, the Process service will make working with, testing, and running CLI processes a dream to work with. You can see the basic usage of this feature in the following example from Pull Request #45314 by Taylor Otwell:

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Process;
 
$result = Process::run('ls -la');
 
$result->successful();
$result->failed();
$result->exitCode();
$result->output();
$result->errorOutput();
$result->throw();
$result->throwIf($condition);

The Process layer includes rich features out of the box, such as:

Fluent process methods to build a process instance before running it
Process output handling as it is received
Asynchronous processes
Process Pools
Rich testing features via fake()
Preventing stray processes during tests

Testing processes has never been easier, and I am excited for the code API around testing processes that you run in your applications:

Process::fake([
    'ls *' => Process::result('Hello World'),
]);
 
$result = Process::run('ls -la');
 
Process::assertRan(function ($process, $result) {
    return $process->command == 'ls -la';
});
 
Process::assertRanTimes(function ($process, $result) {
    return $process->command == 'ls -la';
}, times: 1);
 
Process::assertNotRan(function ($process, $result) {
    return $process->command == 'cat foo';
});

Check out Pull Request #45314 for implementation details and plenty of examples. This feature will surely be documented with the release of Laravel 10. A hat tip to Nuno Maduro and Taylor Otwell for adding Process to Laravel 10, it looks amazing!
