Laravel 9.43 Released

The Laravel team released 9.43 this week with the ability to specify columns eagerly with withWhereHas(), the model:show command now lists model policies, a new Stringable method, and more:

#Add support for eager-loading specific columns with "withWhereHas"

Diaa Fares contributed eager-loading specific columns while using withWhereHas(). This method now works in the same way as Model::with():

Model::withWhereHas('user:id,first_name,last_name');

#List model policies in the model:show command

Andy Hinkle contributed adding model policies to the output of models in the Artisan model:show command:

This is helpful to see which policies are attached to a given model.

#Stringable whenIsUlid method

Michael Nabil contributed a whenIsUlid() method that will run a given callback when a Stringable instance is a Universally Unique Lexicographically Sortable Identifier (ULID):

str('01GJSNW9MAF792C0XYY8RX6QFT')->whenIsUlid(function () {
    // Your code
});
