Laravel 9.48 Released image

The Laravel team released 9.48 this week with conditional fragment helpers, HTTP configuration options for Symfony mailers, a new DB schema helper, and more:

DB Schema helper to toggle foreign key constraints

Patrick Hesselberg contributed a withoutForeignKeyConstraints Schema method to conveniently disable foreign key constraints while managing a DB schema:

// Before
Schema::disableForeignKeyConstraints();
Schema::dropIfExists('table1');
Schema::dropIfExists('table2');
Schema::enableForeignKeyConstraints();
 
// After
Schema::withoutForeignKeyConstraints(function () {
Schema::dropIfExists('table1');
Schema::dropIfExists('table2');
});

New fragment helpers

Arko Elsenaar contributed a fragmentIf() method to return a fragment of a view conditionally. Sending a fragment is useful when sending a partial HTML view over the wire in XHR requests, for example:

// Before
if (request()->hasHeader('HX-Request')) {
return view('products.index')->fragment('products-list');
}
 
return view('products.index');
 
// After
return view('products.index')
->fragmentIf(
request()->hasHeader('HX-Request'),
'products-list'
);

Arko also contributed a fragments() method to return multiple fragments conveniently:

// Before using concatenation
view('welcome')->fragment('fragment1') . view('welcome')->fragment('fragment2');
 
// After
view('welcome')->fragments(['fragment1', 'fragment2']);

Building on Arko's first PR, the fragmentIf() has an accompanying fragmentsIf() method to conditionally render an array of fragments:

view('welcome')
->fragmentsIf(
request()->hasHeader('HX-Request'),
['fragment1', 'fragment2']
);

Increment each query builder method

Iman contributed an incrementEach() method to increment multiple columns with a single query atomically:

DB::table('products')->where('id', 2)->incrementEach([
'in_store' => 2,
'in_stock' => 3,
'total' => 5,
], ['updated_at' => now()]);

Drop an index when modifying a column

Hafez Divandari contributed the ability to drop an index by its conventional name when modifying a column by passing false to unique:

$table->string('name')->unique(false)->change();

Configure custom HTTP client options for mailers

Dries Vints contributed the configuration of custom HTTP client options for Symfony's Postmark and Mailgun mailers:

'mailgun' => [
'transport' => 'mailgun',
'client' => [
'timeout' => 7.5 // Seconds
],
],

You can find the configuration options referenced in the Symfony Docs.

402 status code exception view

Zep Fietje contributed an exception view for the nonstandard 402 status code:

Currently no error page exists for exceptions with an HTTP status code of 402 Payment Required.

Even though it's a nonstandard response status code , it's used by multiple large companies to indicate functionality limited due to a payment being required.

HTTP client "notFound()" response helper

Erik Gaal contributed a notFound() HTTP client response helper that provides a convenience around checking for a 404 response:

$response = Http::get('https://laravel.com');
 
// Checking the status code
if ($response->status() === 404) {
doSomething();
}
 
// New helper method
if ($response->notFound()) {
doSomething();
}
