Release Notes 17
Laravel Elixir
Laravel Elixir, by Jeffrey Way, provides a fluent, expressive interface to compiling and concatenating
your assets. If you’ve ever been intimidated by learning Grunt or Gulp, fear no more. Elixir makes it
a cinch to get started using Gulp to compile your Less, Sass, and CoffeeScript. It can even run your
tests for you!
For more information on Elixir, check out the full documentation.
Laravel Socialite
Laravel Socialite is an optional, Laravel 5.0+ compatible package that provides totally painless
authentication with OAuth providers. Currently, Socialite supports Facebook, Twitter, Google, and
GitHub. Here’s what it looks like:
1 public function redirectForAuth()
2 {
3 return Socialize::with('twitter')->redirect();
4 }
5
6 public function getUserFromProvider()
7 {
8 $user = Socialize::with('twitter')->user();
9 }
No more spending hours writing OAuth authentication flows. Get started in minutes! The full
documentation has all the details.
Flysystem Integration
Laravel now includes the powerful Flysystem⁶ filesystem abstraction library, providing pain free
integration with local, Amazon S3, and Rackspace cloud storage - all with one, unified and elegant
API! Storing a file in Amazon S3 is now as simple as:
1 Storage::put('file.txt', 'contents');
For more information on the Laravel Flysystem integration, consult the full documentation.
