Laravel 5.8.17 Released With a “Tappable” Trait

First, a new dumpHeaders() method was added to the TestResponse class which helps you debug headers. Here’s the improvement over doing this manually:

$response = $this->get('/example');
// Previously

dd($response->headers->all());
// Ah, that’s better

$response->dumpHeaders();

The new dumpHeaders method PR mentioned the dump() method, which you might not be familiar with but is also convenient:

// dd() the response content…

$response->dump();

Next, an ends_with validation rule was added, which looks like this:

$rules = [

‘email’ => ‘required|ends_with:laravel.com,jasonmccreary.me’,

];

Next, support for multiple columns arguments got added to the route:list command:

# Previously

php artisan route:list --columns=method --columns=uri --columns=name
Now
php artisan route:list --columns=method,uri,name

php artisan route:list --columns=method --columns=uri,name

A new Tappable trait was added to Illuminate\Support which you can define on a class like so:

use Illuminate\Support\Traits\Tappable;
class TappableClass {

use Tappable;

// …

}

Here’s a before and after example:

// with tap method

$result = tap(TappableClass::make(), function ($tappable) {

$tappable->doSomething();

$tappable->doSomethingElse();

})->getResult();
// with Tappable trait

$result = TappableClass::make()->tap(function ($tappable) {

$tappable->doSomething();

$tappable->doSomethingElse();

})->getResult();
