🔗 HTTP query method support in Laravel 13.19

Laravel 13.19.0 introduces support for the HTTP QUERY method across its HTTP client and testing helpers. The new Http::query() method allows users to issue QUERY requests, sending parameters in the request body rather than the URL. This mirrors existing methods like post(), put(), and patch() and defaults to sending JSON data.

The article also covers new testing helpers: query() and queryJson(), which facilitate testing routes that respond to QUERY requests. Additionally, a new collection method, reduceInto(), is introduced for more effective accumulator handling. Other enhancements include the counted() string helper to streamline word pluralization, bulk SQS dispatch improvements, and numerous bug fixes and optimizations. This release reflects Laravel's commitment to evolving and refining its framework.
