Laravel 9.45 Released

The Laravel team released 9.45 this week with custom component search paths, a new validation rule, router convenience for ULID route params, and more:

#Custom component search paths

Taylor Otwell contributed the registration of root-level anonymous component search paths. This is convenient for projects that have components in various locations.

To configure a search path, add the following to the boot() method within a registered service provider:

 
Blade::anonymousComponentPath(__DIR__.'/../components');
// I.e., `<x-panel />`
 
// With a prefixed namespace
Blade::anonymousComponentPath(
    __DIR__.'/../components',
    'dashboard'
);
 
//  I.e., `<x-dashboard::panel />`

See theAnonymous Component Paths documentation for further details.

#Decimal validation rule

@Pusparaj contributed a decimal validation rule with a min, max configuration. Here are a few examples from the pull request tests:

// Passes validation
$v = new Validator($trans, ['foo' => '1.234'], ['foo' => 'Decimal:2,3']);
$this->assertTrue($v->passes());
 
// Fails validation
$v = new Validator($trans, ['foo' => '1.2345'], ['foo' => 'Decimal:2,3']);
$this->assertFalse($v->passes());

Here's how the rule works:

1. decimal:2 is exactly two digits on the fractional part
2. decimal:2,3 either two or three digits on the fractional part
3. decimal:0,3 values must have at most three digits in the fractional part and can include zero digits (i.e., integer)

#"whereUlid()" Route Support

Jamshed Javed contributed whereUlid() route support to the collection of commonly-used regular expressions. Given you want a route id param to match a ULID, you'd use the following now:

Route::get('/user/{id}', function ($id) {
    //
})->whereUlid('id');
