Lazy Collections
Run Time 9:54 FreeThe first stop on our Laravel 6 tour is lazy collections, contributed by Joseph Silber. This is easily one of my favorite additions to Laravel 6. While a traditional
Collectionwraps an array, aLazyCollectionleverages generators to significantly reduce memory consumption issues, while still offering the same elegant chaining that you've become accustomed to. -
Ignition is Laravel's Amazing New Error Page
Run Time 8:20 FreeThe new default error page in Laravel 6 is something special. Contributed by the teams behind Spatie and Beyond Code, Ignition is a gorgeous and extensible error screen.

Frontend Scaffolding Has Been Moved to Laravel UI
Run Time 3:24 FreeWhen installing a fresh Laravel 6 application, you'll notice that the login and registration scaffolding, as well as the Vue/jQuery/Bootstrap boilerplate in your
app.jsfile have been extracted to a new Composer package:laravel/ui. This helps to clean up the default install, while allowing the package to be versioned separately from the framework. -
Eloquent Subquery Additions
Run Time 5:38 FreeLaravel 6 ships with improved support for Eloquent subqueries, thanks to a few PRs from Jonathan Reinink. You may now add subqueries by using the new
addSelect()method, or by passing a closure to theorderBy()andfrom()methods of the query builder. I'll show you how in this lesson. -
Password Reconfirmation
Run Time 7:55 NewSometimes, even if a user is currently signed in, you'll want them to re-confirm their password before proceeding with a given action. For example, updating a credit card, or processing a payment, or changing a subscription. In Laravel 6, this functionality is ready to go out of the box! In this episode, I'll show you how it works, and what's happening behind the scenes.
