LARAVEL 5.0
Whats new?
- New directory structure
- Method injection
- Route caching
- Annotations
- Middleware
NEW directory structure
NEW DIRECTORY STRUCTURE
Default namespacing -- yay!
$ php artisan app:name Acme Method injection
The "old" way
<?php
namespace Something\Awesome;
class UserController extends BaseController
{
public function __construct(
UserRepository $userRepository,
Authenticator $authenticator
) {
$this->userRepository = $userRepository;
$this->authenticator = $authenticator;
}
public function getAll() {...}
public function isLoggedIn() {...}
}
METHOD INJECTION
The "new" way
<?php
namespace Something\Awesome;
class UserController extends BaseController
{
public function getAll(UserRepository $userRepo..) {...}
public function isLoggedIn(Authenticator $authen..) {...}
}
<?php
namespace Something\Awesome;
class UserController extends BaseController
{
public function getAll(UserRepository $userRepo..) {...}
public function isLoggedIn(Authenticator $authen..) {...}
}
ROUTE CACHING
New artisan command
$ php artisan route:cache
store in a file on the system.
The upside
The application gets much faster:
This is primarily useful on applications with 100+ routes and typically makes
this portion of your code 50x faster.
The downside
any changes to routes.php? re-cache!
Route caching
Tip
Only enable route caching in a production environment.
Fx. only run
$ php artisan route:cache as a post-deploy hook in Git.
annotations - routes
Like we know them from fx. phpunit
@codeCoverageIgnore
@expectedException
etc.
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
class AwesomeController
{
/**
* @Get("/awesome-sauce/{id}", as="sauce")
*/
public function sauce($id) {...}
}
ANNOTATIONS - ROUTES
Add your controller to a $scan array in App/Providers/RouteServiceProvider.php
Run
$ php artisan route:scan and routes will be saved in a routes.scanned.php file.
fancy.
ANNOTATIONS - EVENTS
Same shit, different a**hole.
<?php
namespace App;
class Intercom
{
/**
* @Hears("user.signup")
*/
public function addUser(User $user)
{
return $this->apiWrapper->sendSomeAddThing(
$user->email,
$user->name
);
}
}
Annotations - events
Add to a $scan array in App/Providers/EventServiceProvider.php
and run
$ php artisan event:scan the event will now be bound to a class & method in events.scanned.php
ANNOTATIONS
- You like it / You don't like it
-
Framework-specific
-
Only double quotes allowed
MIDDLEWARE
Decorating and filtering HTTP requests/responses
MIDDLEWARE
Decorating requests/responses
(decorator pattern)
MIDDLEWARE
Bedre kendt som
before & after filter
MIDDLEWARE
"before"
...
class BeforeMiddleware implements Middleware {
public function handle($request, Closure $next)
{
// Do Stuff
return $next($request);
}
}
MIDDLEWARE
"after"
...
class AfterMiddleware implements Middleware {
public function handle($request, Closure $next)
{
$response = $next($request);
// Do stuff
return $response;
}
}
OTHER COOL STUFF
Laravel 5.0 uses PHP dotenv, a 3rd party lib
that loads from a single .env file.
Laravel 5.0 ships with a default .env.example file,
which looks something like this:
APP_ENV=local
APP_KEY=SomeRandomString
DB_USERNAME=homestead
DB_PASSWORD=homestead
$env = $app->detectEnvironment(function()
{
return getenv('APP_ENV') ?: 'production';
});OTHER COOL STUFF
Validation into request objects/classes,
extending
Illuminate\Foundation\Http\FormRequest- method injecting validation
- automatically validates data
- automatically sends HTTP redirect
OTHER COOL STUFF
Cloud file drivers / multiple filesystems
Should you upgrade?
You can still maintain your old structure if using
Illuminate\Foundation\Providers\LegacyStructureServiceProvider.php and deleting a few new service providers.
