如何将laravel 5.0项目直接升级到5.4？

Question

There is an old project made in laravel 5.0.35 framework by some other developer, now my job is to add some new features to that project but I am familiar with laravel 5.4 so what I think would be good aproach is that I upgrade this project in 5.4 then do my work. But I don't know how to do it. PS I have seen laravel upgrade docs in which they upgrade version by version. Is it possible to upgrade this project directly to laravel 5.4 skipping that version by version upgradation?

Answer 1

in your laravel directory type

composer update

and it will be update your laravel project

there is a composer.json file in root and you can find version of your laravel

"laravel/framework": "5.4.*",

it shows dependencies that you want to upgrade

dont forget to get backup before upgrade

Answer 2

Ya you can update it but folder structure is changed in laravel 5.4. so you can face problem in it. Go in composer.json and change the laravel version then update composer with command .
