There are some key features of laravel which make it laravel web development company's first choice.

Laravel is one of the highly used and appreciated coding PHP frameworks by the PHP developers.

Laravel 5.4 released on January 24, 2017, with some advanced features. It is the the current stable version of laravel with these features:

1.New Middlewares:

In PHP middlewares used to confirm the incoming route request API key. Our middleware will enable maintenance either site-wide or on some routes.

With the release of 5.4, two new middlewares are now shipped with the framework.

2.Trim Strings Middleware:

This middleware trims extra spaces from request data, as its name show the meaning.

For example, a user submits his email through a form on a website and by mistake types in some extra space after the email, this middleware will automatically trim whitespace.

3.Convert Empty Strings To Null

As the name implies, we can understand that this middleware converts empty strings to null. So if we submit an empty form instead of getting '' it automatically gets converted to null.

4.Higher order messages

This feature is most favorite for developers. In this feature, it shorts the message code during programming.

5.From Elixir to Mix

Laravel Elixir provides us with clean and fluent API for defining a gulp wrapper that made development and packaging of assets easier. Elixir supports several common CSS and JavaScript pre-processors, and even testing tools.

6.Fluent Routing

Laravel 5.4's routing tools have been upgraded to used a more fluent routing syntax. Now, no longer we required to reference an array of awkward options, should we require a route group, prefix, or name.

7.Components and Slots

Components and slots give permission to a developer to simplify HTML elements into reusable areas.

we usually have components in our applications, like models, notification panel etc. We can now interpret them as components and reuse them.

8.Real-Time Facades

It offers a simple, static interface to objects in our service container. In past, we were required to create manually the every relevant facade but now laravel 5.5 can do it on-demand.

9.Laravel dusk

Laravel dusk can be used to test all forms of behavior and JavaScript interaction. Dusk uses a standalone ChromeDriver installation.
