Introduction to Laravel 7 new features and changes

The following is the tutorial column of Laravel to introduce you to the new features and changes of Laravel 7. I hope it will be helpful to friends in need!

Laravel 7 is a non-LTS version. Currently, only Laravel 6 and 5.5 are LTS versions.

Route Caching Speed ​​Up

Improving the performance of Laravel is a top priority. Laravel 7 claims to have improved the speed of Route Caching.

Taking the simplest Hello World as an example, the speed is increased by twice. However, it is a drop in the bucket.

Built-in HTTP Client

It is actually an encapsulation of Guzzle. This is much more convenient. You no longer need to manually import Guzzle.

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Http;

$response = Http::post('url', [
    'name' => 'Laravel',
]);

echo $response['foo'];

$response->body()
$response->json()
$response->status()

Customized Eloquent Casts

I have no need for this yet, the built-in cast type already meets my needs.

Laravel Airlock

An API authentication system designed for single-page applications and mobile APPs. A single user can generate multiple tokens at the same time.

It’s useless. Before Laravel can’t solve the performance problem, who will use Laravel to provide API services.

String chain operation

return (string) Str::of('  Laravel Framework 6.x ')
                    ->trim()
                    ->replace('6.x', '7.x')
                    ->slug();

Summary

Overall, I still have no urge to upgrade Laravel 7, after all, it is a non-LTS version. Moreover, the current scenarios for using Laravel are mostly multiple web projects on one server, and upgrading many historical projects is of little significance.
