The Laravel crew launched 8.80 with the power to outline a route group controller, render a string with the Blade compiler, PHPRedis serialization and compression config assist, and the most recent modifications within the v8.x department.

Specify a Route Group Controller

Luke Downing contributed the ability to define a controller for a route group, meaning you don't have to repeat which controller a route uses if the group uses the same controller:

use App\Http\Controllers\OrderController;

Route::controller(OrderController::class)->group(function () {
    Route::get('/orders/{id}', 'show');
    Route::post('/orders', 'store');
});

A great thing has been added in Laravel 8.80, https://github.com/laravel/framework/pull/40276 which is the use of Route::controller() with Groups to shorten Route, so I want to share it with you so that you may use it in your next projects.

Render a String With Blade

Jason Beggs contributed a Blade::render() a technique that makes use of the Blade compiler to transform a string of Blade templating right into a rendered string:

// Returns 'Hello, TechvBlogs'
Blade::render('Hello, {{ $name }}', ['name' => 'TechvBlogs']);

// Returns 'Foo '
Blade::render('@if($foo) Foo @else Bar @endif', ['foo' => true]);

// It even supports components :)
// Returns 'Hello, TechvBlogs'
Blade::render('<x-test name="TechvBlogs" />');

PHPRedis Serialization and Compression Config Help

Petr Levtonov contributed the power to configure PHPRedis serialization and compression choices as a substitute for needing to overwrite the service supplier or outline a customized driver.
The PR launched the next serialization choices:

• NONE
• PHP
• JSON
• IGBINARY
• MSGPACK

These options are now documented in the Redis - Laravel documentation.
