Laravel 9 Features

1) Group the methods of controllers in routes

Now we can group the routes of same controller,

When we define the routes,we need to provide the

Controller method as below.

 use App\Http\Controllers\OrderController;
 
 
Route::controller(OrderController::class)->group(function () {
 
    Route::get('/orders/{id}', 'show');
 
    Route::post('/orders', 'store');
});

2)Full text index or where clause 

Now we can filter the data if all the characters of string matched with database index value

Example :

$users = DB::table('users')
 ->whereFullText('bio', 'webdeveloper')
 ->get();

3) Checked or selected Flags for blades

now use the @checked directive to easily indicate if a given HTML checkbox input is "checked".

<input type="checkbox" name="active"
 value="active" @checked(old('active', $user->active)) />

Same for selected value in select tag

<select name="version">
  
@foreach ($product->versions as $version)
  
 <option value="{{ $version }}" @selected(old('version') == $version)>
  
            {{ $version }}
  
        </option>
  
    @endforeach
  
</select>

4) Bootstrap 5 pagination for views

Now we can includes pagination views built using Bootstrap 5. To use these views  you may call the paginator's useBootstrapFive method within the boot method of your App\Providers\AppServiceProvider class

  
use Illuminate\Pagination\Paginator;
  

  
Bootstrap any application services.
  
 *
  
 * @return void
  
public function boot()
  
{
  
    Paginator::useBootstrapFive();
  
 
  
}
