This week, the Laravel team released v11.27, with a configurable default currency in the Number helper, a Str::doesntContain() method, Schema::hasTable() performance improvements, and more.

Globally Change the Default Currency of the Number Helper

Ryan Holton contributed a configurable default currency setting for the Number helper. The USD currency setting is still the default, but now you can define a different default without using the in argument to override:

use Illuminate\Support\Number;
 
// Set the default currency
Number::useCurrency('EUR');
 
$currency = Number::currency(1000);
// €1,000.00
 
$currency = Number::currency(1000, in: 'USD');
// $1,000.00
 
// Some code that uses USD and defaults back to EUR after
Number::withCurrency('USD', function () {
    //
});

You can see the example output with this Tinkerwell session:

String doesntContain() method

Ryan Holton contributed a doesntContain() method to the Str helper, which is the inverse of the contains() method:

use Illuminate\Support\Str;
 
$str = 'My favorite food is Pizza';
 
Str::doesntContain($str, 'Steak'); // true
Str::doesntContain($str, 'Pizza'); // false
Str::doesntContain($str, ['Steak', 'Spaghetti']); // true
Str::doesntContain($str, ["Steak", "Spaghetti", "Pizza"]); // false

You can see the example output with this Tinkerwell session:

Improve Schema::hasTable() Performance

Hafez Divandari contributed a performance update to the Schema::hasTable() method:

The Schema::hasTable() method is using the Schema::getTable() method internally, which could sometimes result in an expensive query. This PR improves the performance of Schema::hasTable() by using more lightweight queries.

Add Extension Support to Str::inlineMarkdown()

Ryan Chandler added markdown extension support to the Str::inlineMarkdown() and str()->inlineMarkdown() methods, matching the update in Laravel 11.14 to add extension support to the markdown() method.

HTTP Kernel Methods to Append Middleware Relative to Other Middleware

Ollie Read contributed an update to the HTTP Kernel that allows programmatic insertion of the middleware in relation to existing middleware in the priority stack. Specifically, it introduces two new public methods:

  • addToMiddlewarePriorityAfter(): inserts middleware after specified middleware.
  • addToMiddlewarePriorityBefore(): inserts middleware before specified middleware.

These changes make it easier for package developers to manage middleware priority without requiring user intervention.

Here are two examples from the pull request description:

$kernel->addToMiddlewarePriorityAfter(
    \Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\ValidateSignature::class,
    [
        \Illuminate\Cookie\Middleware\EncryptCookies::class,
        \Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\Middleware\AuthenticatesRequests::class,
    ],
);
 
$kernel->addToMiddlewarePriorityBefore(
    \Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\ValidateSignature::class,
    [
        \Illuminate\Cookie\Middleware\EncryptCookies::class,
        \Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\Middleware\AuthenticatesRequests::class,
    ],
);
