See Pull Request #52710 for full details on everything added related to Taylor's .


Add minRatio and maxRatio Rules to Dimension Validation




Cam Kemshal-Bell added min and max ratio to the dimensions validation rule:



You can use these methods fluently, using minRatio(), maxRatio(), and ratioBetween():
use Illuminate\Validation\Rule;

//
// Using minRatio and maxRatio fluent methods
//
Rule::dimensions()
->minRatio(1 / 2)
->maxRatio(1 / 3);
// dimensions:min_ratio=0.5,max_ratio=0.33333333333333

//
// Equivalent using ratioBetween()
//
Rule::dimensions()->ratioBetween(min: 1 / 2, max: 1 / 3);

// dimensions:min_ratio=0.5,max_ratio=0.33333333333333



You can also use the string style dimensions rule with this update as well:
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Validator;

Validator::make($request->all(), [
'min_12' => 'dimensions:min_ratio=1/2',
'square' => 'dimensions:ratio=1',
'max_25' => 'dimensions:max_ratio=2/5',
'min_max' => 'dimensions:min_ratio=1/4,max_ratio=2/5',
]);



Backed Enum Support in Gate Methods and Authorize Middleware




Diaa Fares contributed two pull requests that continue to add backed enum support. This release includes updates to the Gate methods and Authorize middleware.


Here are some examples of using Enums with Gate methods:
enum Abilities: string {
case VIEW_DASHBOARD = 'view-dashboard';
case EDIT = 'edit';
case UPDATE = 'update';
}

// Before
Gate::define('view-dashboard', function (User $user) {
return $user->isAdmin;
});

Gate::authorize('view-dashboard');
Gate::inspect('view-dashboard');
Gate::check('view-dashboard');
Gate::any(['edit', 'update], $post);
Gate::none(['edit', 'update]], $post);
Gate::allows('update', $post);
Gate::denies('update', $post);

// After
Gate::define(Abilities::VIEW_DASHBOARD, function (User $user) {
return $user->isAdmin;
});

Gate::authorize(Abilities::VIEW_DASHBOARD);
Gate::inspect(Abilities::VIEW_DASHBOARD);
Gate::check(Abilities::VIEW_DASHBOARD);
Gate::any([Abilities::EDIT, Abilities::UPDATE], $post);
Gate::none([Abilities::EDIT, Abilities::UPDATE], $post);
Gate::allows(Abilities::UPDATE, $post);
Gate::denies(Abilities::UPDATE, $post);



Here's an example of the Authorize middleware's support for backed enums:
Route::get('/dashboard', [AdminDashboardController::class, 'index'])
->middleware(
Authorize::using(Abilities::VIEW_DASHBOARD)
)
->name(AdminRoutes::DASHBOARD);



Skip Middleware for Queue Jobs




Kennedy Tedesco contributed a Skip middleware to skip a job based on a condition. This middleware has three static constructor methods you can use, including when(), unless(). The job is skipped based on the result of the condition used:
class MyJob implements ShouldQueue
{
use Queueable;

public function handle(): void
{
// TODO
}

public function middleware(): array
{
return [
Skip::when($someCondition), // Skip when `true`

Skip::unless($someCondition), // Skip when `false`

Skip::when(function(): bool {
if ($someCondition) {
return true;
}
return false;
}),
];
}
}



Eloquent Collection findOrFail() Method




Steve Bauman contributed a findOrFail() method on Eloquent collections that adds a way to find a model on an already populated collection:
$users = User::get(); // [User(id: 1), User(id: 2)]

$users->findOrFail(1); // User

$user->findOrFail([]); // []

$user->findOrFail([1, 2]); // [User, User]

$user->findOrFail(3); // ModelNotFoundException: 'No query results for model [User] 3'

$user->findOrFail([1, 2, 3]); // ModelNotFoundException: 'No query results for model [User] 3'
