Laravel 12.16.0 - New Features for Developers
June 3, 2025Laravel 12.16.0 - New Features for Developers
1. New Validation Rule: in_array_keys
You can now validate that an array contains at least one of the specified keys:
Validator::make($request->all(), [
'config' => 'array|in_array_keys:api_key,access_token,oauth_token',
'config.api_key' => 'nullable|string|min:32|max:64',
// ...
]);
This in_array_keys
rule checks for the presence of any given key :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}.
2. Fluent Rule Method: Rule::contains()
This gives you a cleaner and more expressive way to check array contents:
Validator::make($request->all(), [
'roles' => [
'required',
'array',
Rule::contains([Role::Admin, Role::Editor]),
],
]);
This replaces the older string-based contains:
validation rule :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}.
3. New Helper: Arr::hasAll()
use Illuminate\Support\Arr;
$array = ['name'=>'Taylor','language'=>'php'];
Arr::hasAll($array, ['name']); // true
Arr::hasAll($array, ['name','language']); // true
Arr::hasAll($array, ['name','ide']); // false
You're able to check if an array has *all* specified keys :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}.
4. toUri()
on Stringable
$sentence = 'Go to {https://euhosting.com/support} for support.';
$uri = str($sentence)->between('{','}')->toUri();
return $uri->value();
This converts a string segment into a URI object easily :contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9}.
5. Additional Fixes & Enhancements
- Added option to always defer cache operations.
- Bug fixes around RedisStore, TestResponse, ResponseFactory, and more :contentReference[oaicite:10]{index=10}.
