Hey guys, welcome to Laratips. In this video I’m covering what’s new in Laravel v9.48.0, and I walk you through the practical side of three additions that can make your day-to-day code cleaner. I start with a super common migration/database pain: dropping tables when foreign key constraints are in the way. Previously, you had to manually disable and then re-enable constraints around your operation. Now we have Schema::withoutForeignKeyConstraints(), where I can wrap the drop (or any schema operation) inside a callback, and Laravel handles the disable/enable for me automatically. Next, I show the new incrementEach method on the query builder. If you’ve ever needed to increment multiple columns (like my demo “cash_in” and “cash_out”), earlier you’d either run increment twice (two queries) or do a manual fetch/update/save. With incrementEach, I can increment multiple columns in a single query, which is cleaner and more efficient. Finally, I cover a small but nice HTTP Client improvement: the notFound() helper on the response. Instead of checking $response->status() === 404, I can just call $response->notFound(). Same behavior, better readability—exactly the kind of tiny upgrade I like in Laravel releases.
