Latest Major Features

Laravel 9.7, the newest version of the popular
PHP framework, has officially been released! You
can check out all of the significant features and
changes on the official changelog, but let's take
a closer quick look at these new Laravel 9.7
features and how they might impact your
development workflows.

Highlights of What's New in Laravel 9.7   1.
Minimum PHP Requirement   It's been so long since
we've received updates to the popular Laravel
Framework, but Laravel 9.7 has finally come out.
Besides, the latest release of this popular
testing library is compatible with PHPUnit 8,
implementing v6.0, which uses features and
functionality from the Symfony Framework.   Furthe
rmore, one might think this update isn't very
exciting due to having existed previously on
older frameworks. But, they'll soon find out just
how wrong they are - new features are on top of
old ones. Thus, this makes upgrading from earlier
versions of Laravel a no-brainer, especially for
Web Development Company.

2. Anonymous Stub Migration   Laravel will use
the anonymous stub migration as the default
behaviour when using the famous migration command
given below.   php artisan make
migration   Moreover, the anonymous stub
migration option was previously added to address
the Github issue. When developers attempted to
reconstruct the database, multiple migrations
caused issues. This issue will be fully addressed
with this new stub migration.

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema   return

3. New Query Builder Interface   With the new
Laravel 9.7 release, refactoring, static
analysis, and code completion are simple and
trustworthy. The new Query Builder interface
makes it fast and easy to use for developers. The
efficient queries are now accessible through one
convenient location, rather than having three
different interfaces. Besides, with separate
functionality, them-which can be confusing when
trying to build something quickly or test out
ideas without risking data loss!

4. PHP 8 String Functions   You may utilise PHP 8
string functions with the new Laravel 9.7 release
because it supports PHP 8. The following are some
of the string functions   str_contains(),    str_
starts_with(),    str_ends_with() internally in
the \Illuminate\Support\Str class.
