:warning: Laravel 7 adds CORS middleware and defaults the middlewarePriority
internally so you only need to overwrite this property for customizations.
Shift attempted to automate these changes. But you should compare your app/Http/Kernel.php
with the default Laravel 7 version to finalize any changes.
:information_source: Laravel 7 upgraded to Symfony 5 which passes instances of the Throwable
interface instead of Exception
instances to core components like the Exceptions\Handler
.
Shift automated this change. However, if you receive a Throwable
type mismatch error there may be additional references you need to convert.
:warning: The MAIL_DRIVER
environment variable was renamed in Laravel 7 to MAIL_MAILER
in order to support multiple mail configurations.
Shift attempted to automation this change, but you should review any additional environment configuration and update to the new variable name.
:information_source: Shift updated your dependencies for Laravel 7. While many of the popular packages are reviewed, you may have to update additional packages in order for your application to be compatible with Laravel 7.
Watch dealing with dependencies for tips on handling package incompatibilities.
:information_source: Laravel 7 removed some of the PHPUnit configuration in favor of the defaults. While this is not a required changed, it is a good opportunity to compare your phpunit.xml
with the default Laravel 7 version to modernize your configuration.
:warning: Laravel 7 uses a new date format when serializing models. The previous format was 2019-12-02 20:01:00
. Now, dates are serialized using an ISO-8601 compatible date format of 2019-12-02T20:01:00.283041Z
in UTC
.
This does not affect how dates are stored. Only how they are serialized when using the toArray
or toJson
Eloquent methods.
If you need to preserve the previous format, you may override the serializeDate
method on your model. Review the Date Serialization section of the Upgrade Guide for more details.
:information_source: All of the underlying Symfony components used by Laravel have been upgraded to Symfony 5. If you are directly interacting with any Symfony component, you should review the Symfony change log for additional changes.
:warning: Shift detected you are using a Laravel package like Horizon or Nova which may need to have its published assets regenerated after upgrading. Be sure to use artisan
to republish these assets as well as php artisan view:clear
to avoid any errors.
