URI Parsing and Mutation in Laravel 11.35

This week, the Laravel team released v11.35, which includes URI parsing and mutation, the ability to disable HTTP client exception response truncation, transforming an HTTP response to a Fluent instance, and more.

#URI Parsing and Mutation

Taylor Otwell contributed a Uri class for URI parsing and mutation.

$uri = Uri::of('https://laravel.com')

->withQuery(['name' => 'Taylor'])

->withPath('/docs/installation')

->withFragment('hello-world');

$uri->scheme();

$uri->host();

$uri->user();

$uri->password();

$uri->path();

$uri->port();

$uri->query()->all();

$uri->query()->has('name');

$uri->query()->missing('name');

$uri->query()->decode();

// And more...

return (string) $uri;

You can also retrieve a URI instance from the current request, named routes, and URLs:

$uri = $request->uri();

$uri = Uri::to('/something')->withQuery(...);

$uri = Uri::route('named-route', ['user' => $user]);

See Pull Request #53731 for more details.

#Customize or Disable HTTP Client Exception Message Truncation

Steve Bauman contributed the ability to customize or disable HTTP client response truncation via the application bootstrap configuration. In the withExceptions() callback, you can customize the truncation length or disable fully disable it with the following:

// bootstrap/app.php

use Illuminate\Http\Client\RequestException;

return Application::configure(basePath: dirname(__DIR__))

// ...

->withExceptions(function (Exceptions $exceptions) {

$exceptions->dontTruncateRequestExceptions();

// Or ...

$exceptions->truncateRequestExceptionsAt(260);

})->create();

#Transform HTTP Client Response Data into a Fluent Instance

Steve Bauman contributed the ability to transform an HTTP Client response data into a fluent instance:

$fluent = Http::get('https://api.example.com/products/1')->fluent();

$fluent->float('price'); // 420.69

$fluent->collect('colors'); // Collection(['red', 'blue'])

$fluent->boolean('on_sale'); // true

$fluent->integer('current_stock'); // 69
