// bootstrap/app.php return Application::configure(basePath: dirname(__DIR__)) ->withRouting( web: __DIR__.'/../routes/web.php', commands: __DIR__.'/../routes/console.php', health: '/up', ) ->withMiddleware(function (Middleware $middleware) { // }) ->withExceptions(function (Exceptions $exceptions) { // })->create();

Service Providers Consolidation

Major Change:

Service providers are consolidated into a single AppServiceProvider, simplifying setup and reducing clutter.

php artisan install:api php artisan install:broadcasting

Example:

// routes/console.php use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schedule;Schedule::command('emails:send')->daily();
