The Laravel team released 8.32 with HTTP client dump methods, queue exception throttling, fluent JSON assertions, and the latest changes in the 8.x branch:

Helper Methods to Dump Laravel HTTP Requests

Andrea Marco Sartori contributed a dump() and dd() method to the Laravel HTTP client so you can inspect requests during debugging easily. These helpers will dump an instance of the HTTP Request and client options:

Http::dump()->get($url);
Http::dd()->post($url);
 
// Dump additional values along with the request/client data
Http::dd($var1)->post($url);

Throttle Queue Exceptions

Paras Malhotra contributed a circuit breaker middleware for queues. This middleware could be useful when you rely on a third-party HTTP service that is not reliable.

public function middleware()
{
return [new ThrottlesExceptions(10, 5)];
}

Given the above example, if the job has ten consecutive failed attempts, the job will be throttled for five minutes. You can also use a backoff() method to wait between retries before meeting the threshold, as the queue will retry failed jobs immediately:

public function middleware()
{
return [(new ThrottlesExceptions(10, 5))->backoff(5)];
}

The queue documentation now includes details on Throttling Exceptions if you'd like to learn more.

Fluent JSON Assertions

Claudio Dekker contributed fluent JSON assertions for testing in Laravel. At the time of writing, the fluent JSON assertion methods don't appear to have documentation, but the pull request goes into extensive detail.

Here's a simple example of how to use the fluent API taken from the pull request:

use Illuminate\Testing\Fluent\Assert;
 
$response->assertJson(fn (Assert $json) => $json
// Checking a root-level property
->has('podcast')
// Checking that the podcast prop has a nested id property using "dot" notation
->has('podcast.id')
);

This update is backward-compatible with the existing assertJson() calls but now allows an array or Closure.

Support an Eloquent Collection on Model::destroy()

Victor Dauchy contributed the ability to pass an Eloquent collection to a model's destroy method:

// Previously you might use pluck or modelKeys()
SomeModel::destroy(
SomeModel::all()->pluck('whatever_primary_key')
);
SomeModel::destroy(
SomeModel::all()->modelKeys()
);
 
// Now, passing a collection is possible
SomeModel::destroy(SomeModel::all());

You can see the full list of new features and updates below and the diff between 8.31.0 and 8.32.0 on GitHub. The following release notes are directly from the changelog:
