将 laravel 5.4 项目升级到 laravel 7

Question

Is it even worth it upgrading a laravel 5.4 project to laravel 7 which includes many packages. Do I have to upgraded it throught all the laraver version up to? Thx

Answer 1

By upgrading one version at time, it will be easier to fix and change whats needs to be changed. Here is how I did:

https://laravel.com/docs/5.5/upgrade

1. Follow the guide
2. Change the code
3. Test your code

https://laravel.com/docs/5.6/upgrade

1. Follow the guide
2. Change the code
3. Test your code

And so on. Depends on the size of your project. Go to the github pages of your third party packages to check if they have updated as well. You can always change the package.

It will be a pain in the ass, but it's possible. (Don't forget the php version.)

Good luck!
