Support for Laravel 8

[rockymontana]

Hello, I'm wondering if you're working on supporting Laravel 8.0? If so, when you think it'll be out?

[fulopattila122]

Yes, we're working on it. Many of the underlying components have just been upgraded in the last few days to support Laravel 8.

It's important to note that

• only Vanilo 2 will support Laravel 8,
• the v1.x series will be discontinued
• Vanilo 2 will drop Laravel 5 and PHP 7.2 support, ie. it will support PHP 7.3 - 7.4 and Laravel 6-8

The upgrade from Vanilo 1 will be documented and is a comparable effort to a Laravel 5 -> 6 upgrade as an example.

Hi @fulopattila122
Thank you for your answer. What timeline are you looking into for the Vanilo 2.0 release? Im happy to do some early testing... :-)

[fulopattila122]

Thx! October 11 is the target date. Most of the standalone Vanilo components are already working with Laravel 8, if you use the 2.0@dev constraint in composer. The Framework itself is still having some deps to be harmonized. I'll ping you here once it's in a working condition.

Hi @fulopattila122 , I am not sure if I should create a new issue or not.

Which approach between Livewire and Inertia would you recommend to develop Vanilo 2.0 on Laravel 8?

Also cannot wait for 2.0 release :)

[fulopattila122]

Hi, the 2.0 components have been released already.

You can use both Inertia or Livewire with Vanilo. The main goal of Vanilo is to provide a truly Laravel solution, hence you can use any Laravel technique you prefer in your application.

@rockymontana Vanilo 2.0 is released on October 31 (17 days ago).

@fulopattila122 I guess this issue can be closed, FYI.

[fulopattila122]

Correct, thanks!

Just a minor note: Vanilo 2 was released in 2 phases:

• All components: October 11
• Framework: October 31
