Getting started

Upgrading



This guide takes you through the steps needed to migrate from Mako 7.3.x to 8.0.x.

Mako 8.0 drops support for PHP version 7.3 and requires PHP version 7.4 or higher so make sure that your environment is up to date.


Cache

The deprecated CacheManager::instance() method has been removed. Use the CacheManager::getInstance() or CacheManager::getStore() methods instead.

// Before

$cache = $this->cache->instance();

// Now

$cache = $this->cache->getInstance();

// Or

$cache = $this->cache->getStore();

Commands

The following reactor commands have been renamed:

Before Now
app.generate_preloader app:generate-preloader
app.generate_secret app.generate_secret
app.generate-key app:generate-key
app.routes app:routes
cache.clear cache:clear
cache.remove cache:remove
migrate.create migration:create
migrate.down migration:down
migrate.reset migration:reset

Crypto

The deprecated CryptoManager::instance() method has been removed. Use the CryptoManager::getInstance() or CryptoManager::getEncrypter() methods instead.

// Before

$cache = $this->crypto->instance();

// Now

$cache = $this->crypto->getInstance();

// Or

$cache = $this->crypto->getEncrypter();

Database

Connection

The deprecated Connection::builder() method has been removed. Use the Connection::getQuery() method instead.

// Before

$query = $connection->builder();

// Now

$query = $connection->getQuery();

The deprecated Connection::table() method has been removed. It does not have direct replacement.

// Before

$query = $connection->table('foobar');

// Now

$query = $connection->getQuery()->table('foobar');

ORM

The deprecated ORM::builder() method has been removed. Use the ORM::getQuery() method instead.

<?php

// Before

$routes->group(['namespace' => 'app\controllers'], function($routes)
{
    $routes->get('/', 'Index::welcome');
});
<?php

// Now

use app\controllers\Index;

$routes->get('/', [Index::class, 'welcome']);

Access Control middleware

The deprecated AccessControlAllowOrigin middleware has been removed and replaced by the new and improved AccessControl middleware.
