The Laravel team released a minor version v6.8.0 this week, adding useful test response updates, along with the latest features, changes, and fixes for Laravel 6.x:<\/p>\n

ArrayAccess on Responses
\nTaylor Otwell Implemented ArrayAccess on JsonResponse and TestResponse classes. Having array access is convenient if you want to get JSON data in a test or JsonResponse instance. Taylor summarized how this could be useful in pull request (#30817)<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

When building \/ testing and JSON API, I like to sometimes interact with the raw JSON payload returned in the response. Normally you would have to access this via $response->original[‘foo’]; however, with this change I implement ArrayAccess on both JsonResponse and TestResponse in order to be able to proxy directly into the response JSON without going through the original property.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Here\u2019s a quick example from the PR:<\/p>\n

Packages Can Use Custom Markdown Mail Themes<\/h2>\n

Packages can now use custom markdown mail themes. Now, a package could use something like the following example:<\/p>\n

Set an Individual Raw Attribute<\/h2>\n

You can now set raw values for individual model attributes using the setRawAttribute() method:<\/p>\n

Force flag for artisan make:controller<\/h2>\n

Similar to models, you can force the creation of controllers with the make:controller command. Forcing is useful if you forget to use the –resource flag and want to recreate the controller:<\/p>\n

Create a Seeder with artisan make:model<\/h2>\n

With the –seed flag, the make:model artisan command will create a seeder matching the model name:<\/p>\n

You can see the full list of new features and updates below and the whole diff between 6.7.0 and 6.8.0<\/a> on GitHub. The full release notes for Laravel 6.0 are available in the GitHub v6 changelog:<\/p>\n
