Rector to refactor Laravel 10 database expressions.

From Laravel 10:

Database "expressions" (typically generated via DB::raw) have been rewritten in Laravel 10.x to offer additional functionality in the future. Notably, the grammar's raw string value must now be retrieved via the expression's getValue(Grammar $grammar) method. Casting an expression to a string using (string) is no longer supported.

If your application is manually casting database expressions to strings using (string) or invoking the __toString method on the expression directly, you should update your code to invoke the getValue method instead:

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\DB;

$expression = DB::raw('select 1');

$string = $expression->getValue(DB::connection()->getQueryGrammar());

PHP >=8.0

Install with Composer:

composer require --dev rector/rector remarkablemark/rector-laravel-database-expressions

Register rule in rector.php:

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

use Rector\Config\RectorConfig;
use Remarkablemark\RectorLaravelDatabaseExpressions\LaravelDatabaseExpressionsRector;

return static function (RectorConfig $rectorConfig): void {
    $rectorConfig->paths([
        __DIR__ . '/app',
        __DIR__ . '/bootstrap',
        __DIR__ . '/config',
        __DIR__ . '/database',
        __DIR__ . '/public',
        __DIR__ . '/resources',
        __DIR__ . '/routes',
        __DIR__ . '/storage',
        __DIR__ . '/tests',
    ]);
    $rectorConfig->rule(LaravelDatabaseExpressionsRector::class);
};

See the diff:

vendor/bin/rector process --dry-run

Apply the rule:

vendor/bin/rector process

Clear the cache and apply the rule:

vendor/bin/rector process --clear-cache

DB::select(DB::raw('select 1'));

DB::select('select 1');
