How to Upgrade to Laravel 9: Live-Coding Demo

As the new Laravel 9 was released yesterday, I decided to "blindly" try to upgrade one of my demo projects. How hard is the upgrade? Let's take a look.

Excited to uncover what Laravel 9 has inside!

thanks for the video. this was actually pretty easy to upgrade from v8, at least on the first project i upgraded. i have another project that uses flysystem so it may take longer for the test i have to run.

Thanks good to see how to investigate upgrade problems.

composer outdated --direct ... This can help speeding up the process of finding related updates for installed dependencies

[mrAzrarn]

Updating any framework is a good reason to write the missing tests first =)

Hooray! Thank you so much for sharing.

Thanks for your video. I really like how you explain things ^^

In short: Don't upgrade yet until most packages add support for L9

I had the error for Blade component. The component was inside another livewire component. Also the alpine's x-data was put on this blade component. I got the error of getIterator on array for views. The fix was to change the blade component to simple HTML tag and everything worked fine.

What are the terminal commands for updating an existing laravel vue project?

[luplxmq]

i do the samee updating but i when i do laravel -v the terminal show me the old version of laravel
"Laravel Installer 4.5.0" is that mean that my laravel is upgrading to the 9 and just it's not showing up on terminal or what i'm confused

to discover outdated dependencies you can use  
composer outdated --direct

In my work I frequently need to write custom php scripts to do certain things and installing laravel project to make one command seems
not the best practice. Can you make a video explaining how you would structure the whole directory, what packages would you use to make
things simpler? Usually if I work with laravel then I know where to put the logic but if I work with plain php I dont know where to put the php files and the whole project becomes a mess.
The most frequently I need a oracle, mysql or other type of database connection to select data and then I need to parse them and
either write the result to database, log file or mail it. Ideally I would like to have migrations, dd() with ignition package, mailing done easy with templates and readable console output with coloring.

Povilas whats your personal rule when it comes to upgrading your laravel version? do you upgrade it the moment a new version arrives? or do you wait for a few months in order for the other packages to upgrade and catch up? and is it really needed to upgrade especially for small projects?

[MimisK]

Also good practice in the update, is the comparison with the repo.

For the lumen we have no news. They have left it far behind...

@povilas, please make a video on the best way to manage currency in laravel. I am a yearly subscriber of your courses, let me know if its already available there, may be I missed. thanks

[saravanasai]

again really a good content sir thank you . On this week sat car video i request you to speak about job market for laravel developers & having really a lot of confusions on which tech stack to choose Like Live-wire or vue with laravel or react with laravel or else choosinh new laungage like node.js for career development . Really i think it make all other juniour developers are also got mind fogged by this . so share your opinion on what was the market status

[abrpp]

Hi Povilas, since laravel can integrate with vue, react (inertia) and even now next.js (breeze). Will it be an integration with angular too? just curious.. thank you
