Whats new in Laravel 10?

  1. With Laravel 10, the development team has decided to discontinue support for PHP 8.0 and move forward with more recent versions of the programming language.
  2. A new feature in Laravel 10 is the inclusion of native type declarations in the framework’s skeleton code. This allows developers to have a more precise control over the types of data being used within their application.
  3. In Laravel 10, Invokable validation rules have become the default method of input validation. This allows for a more streamlined and simplified process for validating user inputs
  4. Another change in Laravel 10 is the discontinuation of support for the Predis v1 library. Developers using this library will need to update to a more recent version in order to continue using it with Laravel 10.
  5. The dispatchNow() method, which was used for running jobs synchronously, has been removed in Laravel 10. Developers are recommended to use runNow() method instead.
  6. With this new release, many deprecated methods and properties have been removed in order to maintain the best practices and to simplify the codebase. It is important for developers to update their codebase accordingly to avoid errors.
  7. Another new feature in Laravel 10 is the use of invokable validation rules by default. This change streamlines the validation process and makes it easier for developers to use validation rules in their applications.
