Laravel 5.5.3 Released

Laravel 5.5.3, was released on September 8th and includes some nice additions and bugfixes. Let’s look at a few highlights, along with the full changelog of what’s new in 5.5.3.

The rescue() Helper

The rescue helper offers a clean way to return a default value on a Throwableexception. From the tests provided in #21010, here’s an example of how it works:

$result = rescue(function () {
    throw new Exception;
}, function () {
    return 'rescued!';
});

// => rescued!

A Route::getAction() parameter

Before Laravel 5.5.3, getting a key from the Route::getAction() method looks like this:

$route->getAction()['controller'];

In 5.5.3 you can now pass a parameter:

$route->getAction('controller');

The JSON Blade Directive

The @json directive can be used to inject PHP data into your templates as JSON.

Previously, you might do something like the following:

<script>
  var example = {!! $json !!};
</script>

I don’t like the syntax highlighting inconsistencies that sometimes ruin your editor syntax theme, or produces a JavaScript syntax error in your IDE like the above example.

To avoid the weird editor/IDE situation, I typically do the following to produce my JSON from a server-side response using addslashes(json_encode($json)) on the server:

<script>
  var example = JSON.parse("{!! $json !!}");
</script>

With the new Blade @json directive you can do something like the following:

<script>
  var example = @json($myData);
</script>

The @json directive is a good option that should provide you more convenience around using JSON in your template.
