The Laravel team released v10.17 with Laravel Prompts, a config:show Artisan command, a Collection method to ensure types and more.
Laravel Prompts
Laravel v10.17 includes a new dependency for the laravel/prompts package. Various built-in Artisan commands received updates to incorporate prompts into the experience, which feels neat! The documentation for Prompts can be found on the Laravel website.

And the final result after a controller is created successfully:
You can also see required validation in action if you hit return on a required input:
If at this point you sent a signal with Control+c, the CLI changes to show that the command was cancelled:
We highly recommend Watching Jess Archer's "Unveiling Laravel Prompts" talk from Laracon to learn more about them. Laravel Prompts improves the DX around to generator commands that create application code 🔥
The Prompts package is available on GitHub at laravel/prompts.
Add a config:show Artisan command
Francisco Madeira contributed a config:show Artisan command you can use to see configuration from the command line:
You can see nested config values too:
New Collection::ensure() method
Chris Morrell contributed a new ensure() method on the Collection class that ensures the type of all items in the collection:
// $user is guaranteed to be a User or null
$user = collect($users)
->ensure(User::class)
->first();
PHP 8.3 Builds in Laravel Core
Dries Vints contributed PHP 8.3 builds in Laravel core, which now includes .8.3 in the GitHub testing matrix. This groundwork will ensure a seamless transition to support the new PHP version in November later this year!
