New Eloquent Relation Existence Methods in Laravel 11.37

Last week the Laravel team released v11.37, which includes new Eloquent relation methods, an option to ignore case with Str::is(), adding the Dumpable trait to a Uri instance, and more.

#Add Dumpable Trait to Uri

Adrian Nürnberger added the Dumpable trait to the Uri class, which allows you to call dump() and dd() on a Uri instance. This allows you to dump at a certain point in the chain of your Uri instance, or dump and exit using dd():

#Add "Ignore Case" Option to Str::is()

Steve Bauman contributed the ability to ignore case using the Str::is() method as well as a Stringable instance. This allows developers to remove strict-case comparison, similar to how Str::contains() works:

#New Eloquent Relation Methods

Andrey Helldar contributed whereDoesntHaveRelation and whereDoesntHaveMorph relation method, which are the opposite of the existing relation existence queries.

whereDoesntHaveRelation examples:

// Before
User::whereDoesntHave('comments', function ($query) {
    $query->where('created_at', '>', now()->subDay());
})->get();
 
// After
User::whereDoesntHaveRelation(
    'comments', 'created_at', '>', now()->subDay()
)->get();
 
// Another example
User::whereDoesntHaveRelation(
    'comments', 'is_approved', false
)->get();

whereMorphDoesntHaveRelation examples:

// Before
User::whereDoesntHaveMorph('comments', [Post::class, Video::class], function ($query) {
    $query->where('created_at', '>', now()->subDay());
})->get();
 
// After
User::whereMorphDoesntHaveRelation(
    'comments', [Post::class, Video::class], 'created_at', '>', now()->subDay()
)->get();
 
User::whereMorphDoesntHaveRelation(
    'comments', [Post::class, Video::class], 'is_approved', false
)->get();

#Add assertFailedWith to InteractsWithQueue Trait

Teddy Francfort contributed an assertFailedWith method to the InteractsWithQueue trait, which allows you to check a failure exception in a test:

use App\Jobs\ProcessPodcast;
use App\Exceptions\MyException;
 
$job = new ProcessPodcast()->withFakeQueueInteractions();
 
$job->assertFailedWith('whoops');
$job->assertFailedWith(MyException::class);
$job->assertFailedWith(new MyException);
$job->assertFailedWith(new MyException(message: 'whoops'));
$job->assertFailedWith(new MyException(message: 'whoops', code: 123));
