Laravel 8+: New way to define accessor and mutator

New way to define attribute accessors and mutators in Laravel 8.77:

// Before, two-method approach
public function setTitleAttribute($value)
{
$this->attributes['title'] = strtolower($value);
}
public function getTitleAttribute($value)
{
return strtoupper($value);
}
 
// New approach
protected function title(): Attribute
{
return new Attribute(
get: fn ($value) => strtoupper($value),
set: fn ($value) => strtolower($value),
);
}

Actually, both approaches still work, and it's your personal preference which one to use.
