What’s New In Laravel 7.12

Hello everyone, I want to say that laravel version 7.12 has been released with a new TrustHosts middleware, along with the latest updates to the 7.x branch. So let’s take a look at what is trusthost middleware.

TrustHosts Middleware

As per the name given TrustHosts it is almost clear that it related to trusted hosts. Which means in the Laravel 7.12 we can configuring a whitelist of trusted hosts in the Illuminate request object.By default, the HTTP Foundation configuration is an empty array, so this middleware will help you lock down the hosts (via regex) your application will recognize.

So you can find App\Http\Middleware\TrustHosts::class under app/http/kernel.php well in the update currently it is commented you have to remove the comment to use this.

protected $middleware = [
        // \App\Http\Middleware\TrustHosts::class,
        \App\Http\Middleware\TrustProxies::class,
        \Fruitcake\Cors\HandleCors::class,
        \App\Http\Middleware\CheckForMaintenanceMode::class,

You can see all changes related to trusthost here https://github.com/laravel/laravel/commit/5639581ea56ecd556cdf6e6edc37ce5795740fd7

Skip Middleware in Resource Routes

Sébastien Nikolaou contributed the ability to skip middleware from resource routes. Here’s an example from Pull Request #32891

Route::middleware(['auth', 'verified'])->group(function () {
    Route::resource('photo', 'PhotosController')->withoutMiddleware('verified');
});
