In this video I’m covering 3 small but super useful changes that landed in Laravel v9.47.0. First one is something I really like: you can now call setVisible() and setHidden() directly on an Eloquent Collection (not the normal Illuminate collection). I show it quickly in Tinker—imagine you already received a collection of users from somewhere, and you want to shape the output after the fact. With setVisible(['id','name']) you can keep only those fields, and with setHidden(['id','name']) you can exclude them and return everything else. Second change is very simple but practical: Decimal is added to the list of numeric validation rules. Because of that, you can now use rules like size, min, and max together with decimal, and those constraints will apply on the numeric value. And the third one is a tiny fix around models: when you set an attribute on a model, it returns the model—but if you had a set attribute cast/mutator, it was returning null. From now on, it will also return the model, which makes chaining and fluent code more consistent.
