Upgrade Guide 28
Route Filters
Copy your filter bindings from app/filters.php and place them into the boot() method of
app/Providers/RouteServiceProvider.php. Add use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route; in
the app/Providers/RouteServiceProvider.php in order to continue using the Route Facade.
You do not need to move over any of the default Laravel 4.0 filters such as auth and csrf; they’re
all here, but as middleware. Edit any routes or controllers that reference the old default filters (e.g.
['before' => 'auth']) and change them to reference the new middleware (e.g. ['middleware' =>
'auth'].)
Filters are not removed in Laravel 5. You can still bind and use your own custom filters using before
and after.
Global CSRF
By default, CSRF protection is enabled on all routes. If you’d like to disable this, or only manually
enable it on certain routes, remove this line from App\Http\Kernel’s middleware array:
.
1 'App\Http\Middleware\VerifyCsrfToken',
If you want to use it elsewhere, add this line to $routeMiddleware:
.
1 'csrf' => 'App\Http\Middleware\VerifyCsrfToken',
Now you can add the middleware to individual routes / controllers using ['middleware' => 'csrf']
on the route. For more information on middleware, consult the full documentation.
Eloquent Models
Feel free to create a new app/Models directory to house your Eloquent models. Again, add this
directory to the classmap directive of your composer.json file.
Update any models using SoftDeletingTrait to use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\SoftDeletes.
Eloquent Caching
Eloquent no longer provides the remember method for caching queries. You now are responsible
for caching your queries manually using the Cache::remember function. For more information on
caching, consult the full documentation.
