The Laravel team released 9.42 this week with singleton route resources, conditional report helpers, and more:
Thanks to @jessarchercodes, today’s Laravel release allows you to quickly define routes for “singleton” resources.
These are resources like a user “profile” that have one and only one instance in your application.

Define routes for singleton resources
Jess Archer contributed a Route::singleton() method to register routes for singleton resources. These are resources that are either “one of one” or “zero or one” resources. For example, a profile endpoint:
1Route::singleton('profile', ProfileController::class);
2/*
3Defines:
4GET /profile
5GET /profile/edit
6PUT/PATCH /profile
7DELETE /profile
8*/
9
10// Nested resource
11Route::singleton('videos.thumbnail', VideoThumbnailController::class);
12
13/*
14Defines:
15GET /videos/{video}/thumbnail
16GET /videos/{video}/thumbnail/edit
17PUT/PATCH /videos/{video}/thumbnail
18DELETE /videos/{video}/thumbnail
19*/
20
21// Only and except
22Route::singleton('profile', ProfileController::class)
23 ->except('destroy');
24
25Route::singleton('profile', ProfileController::class)
26 ->only(['show', 'update']);
The make:controller command was also updated to include --singleton and --creatable flags to generate singleton controllers.
Check out the Singleton Resource Controllers docs for more examples and details. Excellent work, Jess!
Added a rest option for queue:listen
@PHPGuus contributed a --rest= option to the queue:listen command that will sleep for the number of seconds passed to rest:
1php artisan queue:listen --rest=5
Determine if a string is a ULID
Michael Nabil contributed an isUlid() method to the Stringable class to check if a string is a valid Universally Unique Lexicographically Sortable Identifier (ULID) string. You can use it as follows:
1use Illuminate\Support\Str;
2
3Str::isUlid('01GJSNW9MAF792C0XYY8RX6QFT'); // true
4Str::of('01GJSNW9MAF792C0XYY8RX6QFT')->isUlid(); // true
Conditional report helpers
Michael Nabil contributed two new conditional report() helpers. These might be useful to shorten checks where you might report when a condition is true or false:
1// Normal report usage
2if(! Auth::user()->isAdmin()){
3 report('Is route need permission user');
4}
5
6// Shorten/avoid `if` with:
7report_if(
8 Auth::user()->isAdmin(),
9 'Is route need permission admin'
10);
11
12report_unless(
13 Auth::user()->isAdmin(),
14 'Is route need permission user'
15);
These helpers are optional—you are free to use them or not 🙂
Custom mutex name of scheduled events
Andrej Mihaliak contributed a callback to resolve a custom mutex name of scheduled events:
1$schedule->command('do-something', ['--uuid' => 'b4d5f926-e1b5-4285-b068-cf1d623a0635'])
2 ->description('Do something important.')
3 ->everyFiveMinutes()
4 ->onOneServer()
5 ->withoutOverlapping()
6 ->createMutexNameUsing(fn (Event $event) => 'schedule-task-'.sha1($event->description));
