Laravel 6.13.0 Released

January 29, 2020 / Paul Redmond

The Laravel team released v6.13.0 this week with the ability to format implicit validation attributes and a new ensureDirectoryExists() filesystem method.

Here’s a look at some of the highlight new features:

Allow Formatting Implicit Validation Attributes

Mohamed Said contributed a PR that allows a validator to configure a custom formatter for an implicit attribute:

// Instead of "0.age must be an integer"
// A formatter could do: "age at line 1 must be an integer"
validator(
    [['age' => 'thirty']],
    ['*.age' => 'integer']
)->setImplicitAttributesFormatter(function ($attribute) {
    [$line, $attribute] = explode('.', $attribute);

    return sprintf('%s at line %d', $attribute, $line + 1);
})->validate();

Filesystem ensureDirectoryExists Method

Taylor Otwell contributed the ensureDirectoryExists() method for the filesystem class:

Filesystem::ensureDirectoryExists($path, $mode = 0755, $recursive = true);

This method will create the directory if it doesn’t already exist.

Storage URL for the FTP Driver

Melek REBAI contributed support for Storage::url() to work with the FTP driver.
