Bulk Job Dispatching with Bus::bulk() in Laravel 13.13

The Laravel team released v13.13.0 with a new method for dispatching many jobs in a single batch, storage-backed attachment helpers for notifications, PSR-18 support for the HTTP client, and a handful of validation and database fixes.

• Bus::bulk() for efficient dispatching of many jobs
• attachFromStorage() helpers on notification mail messages
• HTTP client usable as a PSR-18 client
• Cache attribute support for memoization
• MariaDB vector index support
• Validation and query builder bug fixes

#What's New

#Bus::bulk() for Dispatching Many Jobs

@jackbayliss added Bus::bulk(), which dispatches an array of jobs to the queue while grouping them by connection and queue so they can be pushed using the underlying bulk() queue method. Unlike Bus::batch(), it does not track batch progress in the database, so it fits cases where you want to enqueue many jobs without that overhead.

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Bus;
 
Bus::bulk(array_map(fn (User $user) => new ProcessUser($user), $users));

#Storage Attachments for Notification Mail Messages

@LucasCavalheri added attachFromStorage() and attachFromStorageDisk() to the notification MailMessage class, bringing it in line with the attachment helpers already available on mailables.

(new MailMessage)
    ->attachFromStorage('/path/to/file')
    ->attachFromStorageDisk('s3', 'invoices/1.pdf', 'invoice.pdf', [
        'mime' => 'application/pdf',
    ]);

#HTTP Client as a PSR-18 Client

@willrowe made the client returned by Http::buildClient() usable anywhere a Psr\Http\Client\ClientInterface is expected. You can hand Laravel's HTTP client to a third-party package that requires a PSR-18 client, so its requests run through the same middleware and handler stack as the rest of your application.

$geocoder = new GeocodingService(Http::buildClient());

#Cache Attribute Memoization

@jenky updated the Cache attribute to support injecting a memoized cache instance into constructors and resolve methods, building on the cache memoization added in earlier 13.x releases.
