Changes in Laravel 9.32 broke the way laravel-dumper registered custom casters. This release registers casters before Laravel boots to get around that change. Unfortunately, until laravel/framework#49402 gets merged, this change will only work for some classes.

There should be no backwards-incompatible changes in this release, but I'm marking it as 2.0 because this change does mean that userland custom casters are no longer supported.

Added Laravel 10 support

Fixed

• Fixed how bindings are merged into SQL queries when dumping a query builder

No new features added since the 0.5.0 release. Everything is well-tested and the API seems stable, so we're releasing the 1.0 version!

Changed

• Removed the LaravelDumper facade in favor of registering custom casters directly

Upgrading

If you were using the LaravelDumper::for() method, you need to replace it with a direct call to the CustomCaster class. The API is exactly the same—you simply need to import a different class name. See the README for more details.
