New way to define attribute accessors and mutators in Laravel 8.77:
// Before, two-method approachpublic function setTitleAttribute($value){ $this->attributes['title'] = strtolower($value);}public function getTitleAttribute($value){ return strtoupper($value);} // New approachprotected 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.
