@psmail, I think that one of the best ways to get insight to the structure in 4.3 is to look at the folders in the develop branch...

4.3 rumours
I thoughts I'd start capturing the snippets I am gleaming about Laravel 4.3, which I think according to the release schedule is due out in Nov.
So far I have come across two things and I thought I'd put the feelers out to see what else we know about the upcoming release.
Request based validation.
From Refresh Arkansas talk.
// routes.php
class StoreCharacterRequest extends FormRequest {
public function rules() {
return ['name' => 'required|unique:characters'];
}
public function authorize() {
return true;
}
}
Route::post('character/store', function(StoreCharacterRequest $request))
{
// ...
}
New default directory structure
From Laravel podcast.
- I don't have the details, but I imagine it will be much like the structure outlined by Taylor's book
- Backwardly compatible - so we won't need to change existing directory structures

Request objects will change your workflow dramatically. Laracon EU isn't too far away. :)

Thanks, JW - I figured 4.3 would not be released until Nov, in line with the Symphony cycle. And I am keen to get onto a standardised validation approach, which I think is coming ... hence I'm just a bit eager.

It won't be released until November, yes, but I'll be covering what's new in great detail before the end of the month.

@JeffreyWay Any chance with large changes like that affecting workflow that you'd consider going "back" and refactoring some of the larger LC projects/series such as Larabook, to give folks some real world idea on how to implement these changes into older projects.

Looking at the directory structure here, I'm really looking forward to it.

I bet we can find a decent way to translate a request object directly to a command, man would would be great! Reminds me a lot of the Action-Domain-Reponder pattern, which I quite like and have been experimenting with on some smaller projects.
