Arr::from() Method in Laravel 12.14

The Laravel team released v12.14.0, which includes a new Arr::from() method, a currentlyResolving() container method, new "except" Context methods, and more:

#Arr::from() Method

Sergey Danilchenko contributed an Arr::from() method to get the underlying array of items from the given argument:

use Illuminate\Support\Arr;
 
Arr::from(collect(['name' => 'Laravel'])); // ['name' => 'Laravel']
Arr::from($jsonable); // Decodes the object data via `Jsonable` as an array
Arr::from($arrayable); // Returns array via the object `toArray()` method

See Pull Request #55715 for details.

#New Context Methods

Volodya Kurshudyan contributed except() and exceptHidden() methods to the Context class to retrieve all values except the specified keys:

Context::add('user_id', 42);
Context::add('request_id', 'req-abc123');
Context::add('ip_address', '192.168.0.1');
Context::add('sensitive_token', 'secret');
 
$logData = Context::except(['sensitive_token']);
 
// Result:
[
    'user_id' => 42,
    'request_id' => 'req-abc123',
    'ip_address' => '192.168.0.1',
]

See Pull Request #55692 for details.

#Container currentlyResolving utility method

Justin Seliga contributed a currentlyResolving that returns the binding that the container is currently resolving:

#[Attribute(Attribute::TARGET_PARAMETER)]
class RegisteredFor implements ContextualAttribute
{
    public static function resolve(self $attribute, Container $container): array
    {
        $resolving = $container->currentlyResolving(); // Production::class
 
        return resolve(Registrar::class)->for($resolving);
    }
}

See Pull Request #55684 for details.
