What Is Laravel?
● Laravel is an Open-Source PHP Framework that is reliable and simple
to comprehend. It follows a model-view-controller design pattern.
Laravel uses the elements of various frameworks that aid in creating
an online application. The web application that is created is more
organized and practical.
● Laravel provides a wide range of functions, including the essential
capabilities of PHP frameworks such as CodeIgniter, Yii, and other
programming languages, such as Ruby on Rails. Laravel comes with a
rich array of features that accelerate web development

What’s New Laravel 9
● Laravel 9 release date was scheduled to be September 2021, and the
Laravel 9 release was delayed until January 2022 (and later in
February 2022), making this the very ﬁrst long-term support (LTS)
version to launch after the release cycle of 12 months. This delay
has many reasons that include but is not limited to the following:
● Laravel uses a variety of community-driven projects around the nine
Symfony libraries. But, Symfony planned to release version 6.0 in
November 2021. This delay will allow the Laravel team to include this
latest version of Symfony in Laravel 9.

Laravel 9 Features

1. Minimum PHP Requirement
● Laravel 9 installation requires the most current versions of PHP
8, PHPUnit 9, and several other prerequisites speciﬁed within
the instructions. Laravel, as a framework, relies on a number of
community-driven and Symfony 9 libraries.
● Symfony planned to release Symfony v6.0 by November 2021,
which forced the Laravel team to delay the release of Laravel
v9.
● The PHP 8 requirement is because Laravel 9 exclusively
depends on Symfony’s newest v6.0 release, which requires PHP
8. Check out the benchmarks for new PHP 8 features, including
the Just-In-Time compiler and constructor property promotion.

2. Anonymous Stub Migration
● Laravel allows you to make an anonymous stub migration the
default option when you execute the popular migration
command:
● PHP artisan make: migration
● The anonymous stub feature was added within Laravel 8.37 to
resolve issues with Github issues. The stub-migration feature
can eliminate conﬂicts between the class names of the
migration.

3. New Query Builder Interface
● With the latest Laravel version, type hinting is extremely reliable for
Refactoring, static analysis, and code completion within the
development environments because there is no shared interface or
inheritance between QueryBuilder, EloquentBuilder, as well as
EloquentRelation.
● But it is possible to use Laravel 9, and developers can beneﬁt from
the brand new query builder interface that allows type hinting,
Refactoring, and static analyses.

4. PHP 8 String Functions
● Because Laravel 9 targets PHP 8, Laravel added this Pull Request,
suggesting utilizing the most up to date PHP 8 string functions. These
functions incorporate the use of str_contains(), str_starts_with(), and
str_ends_with() internally in the IlluminateSupportStr class.
● Some of Laravel 9’s features and improvements can be seen below
and offer a hint of what’s to come. Some bugs will surely be ﬁxed, and
other new features will also be implemented.

Key Features of Laravel

1. Eloquent ORM
The object-relational modeler (ORM) used by Laravel is known as
Eloquent, and it’s among the greatest attributes of Laravel since it
permits seamless interactions with the database model and data model
of your choice.

2. Artisan CLI
The Artisan CLI or command line is a different essential element of Laravel.
You can edit or create any component of Laravel using the command line
without needing to search through folders and ﬁles.

3. MVC Architecture
The MVC architecture of Laravel allows it to be understandable and
adaptable due to its following the standard web development pattern
with constant, substantial improvements.

4. Security
It’s crucial to check the security protocols of any online application you’re
thinking of using since, in the absence of proper diligence, it could result
in losing money or stealing your website or product.
