The Laravel team released v11.26 this week, with the ability to gracefully stop a pool of processes, using Enums when defining Rate Limiting, an Artisan command to make Job Middleware and more.

Use BackedEnum to With Rate Limiters

Seth Phat contributed using BackedEnum and UnitEnum to register a rate limiter:

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\RateLimiter;
 
RateLimiter::for(
GlobalRateLimit::HUBSPOT,
fn () => Limit::perSecond(100, 10)
);

You can also use them with the RateLimited queue job middleware:

use Illuminate\Queue\Middleware\RateLimited;
 
public function middleware(): array
{
return [
new RateLimited(GlobalRateLimit::HUBSPOT)
];
}

Add make:job-middleware Artisan Command

Davey Shafik contributed a make:job-middleware Artisan command to create new job middleware in the App\Jobs\Middleware namespace:

php artisan make:job-middleware RateLimited

Add a stop() Method to Process and Pool

Mathias Hansen contributed an update to stop all processes in a pool gracefully that are running:

//
// Single process example
//
$process = Process::timeout(120)->start('bash import.sh');
// ...
$process->stop();
 
//
// Pool example
//
$this->pool = Process::pool(function (Pool $pool) {
$pool->path(base_path())->command('sleep 5');
$pool->path(base_path())->command('sleep 10');
})->start();
 
// Stop the processes gracefully
$this->pool->stop();
 
// Stop the processes with a specific signal
$this->pool->stop($signal);

Add a Factory Generic Annotation With make:model

Punyapal Shah contributed an update to the make:model command that will include a generic annotation for the HasFactory trait. This will help IDEs understand the factory type returned for a given Model::factory() call.

Before Laravel 11.26, the stub would generate the following:

<?php
 
namespace App\Models;
 
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
 
class Post extends Model
{
use HasFactory;
}

With the release of Laravel 11.26:

<?php
 
namespace App\Models;
 
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
 
class Post extends Model
{
/** @use HasFactory<\Database\Factories\PostFactory> */
use HasFactory;
}
