Laravel 9.11 Released

The Laravel team released 9.11 with an array join method, methods to check the existence of validated input, opt-in deprecation logging, and more:

#Add Arr::join() Method

Daniel Eckermann contributed a Arr::join() method similar to the Collection::join() method:

$stack = ['Tailwind', 'Alpine', 'Laravel', 'Livewire'];
 
// Tailwind, Alpine, Laravel and Livewire
Arr::join($stack, ', ', ' and ');
 
// Or if you appreciate the oxford comma :)
// Tailwind, Alpine, Laravel, and Livewire
Arr::join($stack, ', ', ', and ');

#Methods to Check the Existence of Validated Input Data

Sam Carré contributed two methods to the ValidatedInput class to check for the existence of validated input data. These methods are like $request->has() and $request->missing(), except only against validated data:

$validatedName = $request->safe()->has('name'); // True
$validatedAge = $request->safe()->has('age'); // False
 
$validatedName = $request->safe()->missing('name'); // False
$validatedAge = $request->safe()->missing('age'); // True
 
// Check each key in the array
$validatedName = $request->safe()->has(['name', 'age']);

#Deprecation Stack Trace Config Option

Dries Vints contributed to making deprecation error stack traces opt-in rather than enabled by default. Check out Pull Request #42235 and #42191 for further details on logging deprecation errors.
