Hey guys, welcome to Laratips. In this video I’m covering 3 new things added in Laravel v9.45.0, and they’re actually pretty practical updates you can use right away. First up is the new `anonymousComponentPath()` method for Blade. Previously, we were limited to registering anonymous components only from inside the `resources/views` directory using the namespace method. Now I can point Laravel to literally any folder in my app—like a custom `app/Domain/Packages/.../Components` folder—and Laravel will discover those Blade components from there. I also show how to avoid naming conflicts by passing a second argument (a namespace). That way you can call components like `x-laratips::container` instead of colliding with your default `resources/views/components` folder. And you’ll notice the old method is removed from the docs, which basically tells you the team wants us to use this new one going forward (this one was contributed by Taylor Otwell). After that, I jump into the new `decimal` validation rule. I tested exact decimal places like `decimal:2`, and also ranges like `decimal:1,2` (or even `1,3`). Finally, I show the new `whereUlid()` route constraint—same idea as `whereUuid()`, but for ULIDs—so your routes only match valid ULID strings and return 404 for random values.
