What’s New in Laravel 5.7? Explore Updated Resources, Pagination & More

Laravel 5.7 version has been officially released, introducing several new features and fixing many bugs from 5.6.

New Resource Directory Structure

The resources directory no longer contains an assets sub‑directory; the previous assets sub‑folders have been moved under resources. The old structure was:

/resources
├── assets
│   ├── js
│   └── sass
├── lang
│   └── en
└── views

The updated structure in Laravel 5.7 is:

/resources
├── js
├── lang
├── sass
└── views

New Custom Pagination

Laravel 5.7 adds a new pagination method that lets you define the number of links displayed on each side of the current page, removing the need to edit pagination view templates. Example:

User::paginate(10)->linksOnEachSide(5);

Optimized Error Messages

Error messages that trace dynamic calls to Eloquent models are now simpler to understand.

Laravel 5.7 feature updates and bug fixes will be maintained until February 2019, with security fixes until August 2019. See the upgrade guide for migrating from 5.6 to 5.7.

Laravel is a clean, elegant PHP web framework that helps you escape messy code, build perfect web apps, and write expressive, concise code.
