Updating Laravel 10 to 11
Upgrading from Laravel 10 to 11 is straightforward but requires attention to a few key steps.
1) Upgrade PHP Version
Ensure your server is running PHP 8.2. Update your Apache server (like XAMPP or WAMP) to the required version.
2) Update composer.json
Modify the composer.json file to reflect the necessary changes. Atleast your dependencies should look something like this:
"require": {
"php": "^8.2",
"dompdf/dompdf": "^2.0",
"guzzlehttp/guzzle": "^7.2",
"intervention/image": "^2.7",
"laravel/framework": "^11.0",
"laravel/sanctum": "^4.0",
"laravel/tinker": "^2.8",
"league/omnipay": "^3.2",
"omnipay/paypal": "^3.0"
},
"require-dev": {
"fakerphp/faker": "^1.9.1",
"laravel/pint": "^1.0",
"laravel/sail": "^1.18",
"mockery/mockery": "^1.4.4",
"nunomaduro/collision": "^8.1",
"phpunit/phpunit": "^10.0",
"spatie/laravel-ignition": "^2.0"
}
3) Run composer update
Use the following command to update your Laravel and other dependencies:
In terminal
composer update
4) Verify Laravel Version
To confirm the upgrade, check your Laravel version by running:
In terminal
php artisan --version
It should now display Laravel Framework 11.x.x.
5) Run Laravel Project
Finally, start your Laravel project using:
In terminal
php artisan serve
Your project is now successfully upgraded to Laravel 11!
