New artisan docs command in Laravel 9.23

The Laravel team released 9.23 with an artisan docs command, Vite support for CSP/SRI, a new fluent JSON assertion method and more. Let's take a look at the latest Laravel 9 release:

#Artisan docs command

Tim MacDonald contributed a new amazing artisan docs command, giving developers quick access to website documentation from the command line:

# Opens a choice dialog you can use to type what you want
php artisan docs
 
# Opens the validation docs
php artisan docs validation

Things get really crazy, when, let's say you want to go to the unique validation rule on the validation docs page:

php artisan docs validation unique
 
# partial searches, will open the unique validation rule
php artisan docs va un

Here's an example of the default behavior when you don't pass a page to the command:

#Fluent JSON whereNot assertion

Mateus Guimarães contributed a whereNot() JSON testing assertion:

$response
    ->assertJson(fn (AssertableJson $json) =>
        $json->where('id', 1)
             ->where('name', 'Victoria Faith')
             ->whereNot('status', 'pending')
             ->missing('password')
             ->etc()
    );

#Delete a model quietly

Anjorin Damilare contributed a deleteQuietly() model method to delete a model from the database without raising any events:

use App\Models\Flight;
 
$flight = Flight::find(1);
 
$flight->deleteQuietly();

#Conditionable trait added to Filesystem adapters

Ralph J. Smit contributed adding the Conditionable trait to Filesystem to allow you to use when() and unless() methods:

Storage::disk('public')
    ->when(true)
    ->delete('StardewTaylor.png');

#Vite support for CSP, SRI, and arbitrary values

Tim MacDonald contributed first-party support for the Vite implementation to create a nonce that will be used on all generated script and style tags:

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Vite;
 
class ContentSecurityPolicy
{
    public function handle($request, $next)
    {
        // You need to call this function **before** resolving the response
        // so that 3rd parties can use the same nonce throughout the request
        // lifecycle e.g. Ziggy
 
        Vite::useCspNonce();
 
        return $next($response)->withHeaders([
            'Content-Security-Policy' => "script-src 'nonce-".Vite::cspNonce()."'",
        ]);
    }
}

This subject is pretty heavy, so I recommend reading through the description on Pull Request #43442 to get the full details. Also, the Laravel Vite documentation has been updated with Script & Style Tag Attributes section to help you get started.
