# Migrating from Laravel-Mollie v3.x to v4

## Update composer dependencies

Update `composer.json` to match this:

```json
"require": {
    "mollie/laravel-mollie": "^4.0"
}
```

Then run `composer update mollie/laravel-mollie`.

## Review Changes
### Updating Dependencies
Laravel-Mollie now requires PHP 8.2.0 or greater and supports Laravel 11.0 and 12.0 only. It leverages mollie-api-php version 3, which includes several breaking changes.

### Mollie API PHP v3 Upgrade
This version upgrades to mollie-api-php v3, which includes several breaking changes:

1. **Metadata Type Restriction**: In v3, metadata in request payloads is restricted to only accept arrays (not strings or objects).
2. **Class & Method Renames**: Several endpoint classes and methods have been renamed.
3. **Streamlined Constants**: Redundant prefixes have been removed for a cleaner API.
4. **Test Mode Handling**: Automatic detection with API keys and explicit parameter for organization credentials.
5. **Modern HTTP Handling**: PSR-18 support and typed request objects.

For full details on the mollie-api-php v3 changes, see the [official upgrade guide](https://github.com/mollie/mollie-api-php/blob/master/UPGRADING.md).

### Socialite Integration Changes
The Socialite integration has been moved to a dedicated service provider (`MollieSocialiteServiceProvider`) which is automatically registered alongside the main provider. This allows the main `MollieServiceProvider` to be deferred, improving application performance when the Mollie API is not being used.

### Deferred Service Provider
The main `MollieServiceProvider` is now deferrable, which means it will only be loaded when the Mollie API is actually used in your application. This can improve application performance.

The `MollieSocialiteServiceProvider` is now also deferred and will only be loaded when `laravel/socialite` is installed in your application.

### Change in calling API endpoints
Earlier versions of Laravel-Mollie provided access to endpoints via both methods and properties. Moving forward, access to endpoints will be exclusively through properties:

```php
// before
Mollie::api()->payments()->create();

// now
Mollie::api()->payments->create();
```

Alternatively, mollie-api-php v3 now supports typed request objects which you can send directly using the facade:

```php
use Mollie\Api\Http\Requests\CreatePaymentRequest;
use Mollie\Laravel\Facades\Mollie;

// You can send requests directly through the facade
$payment = Mollie::send(new CreatePaymentRequest(...));

// Or through the API client
$payment = Mollie::api()->send(new CreatePaymentRequest(...));
```

See the [mollie-api-php documentation](https://github.com/mollie/mollie-api-php/blob/master/docs/requests.md) for more details on typed request objects.

### Removed Components

#### MollieManager
The `Mollie\Laravel\MollieManager` class has been removed. This change has minor impact as the manager was primarily an internal component. If you were using it directly, switch to using the `Mollie` facade or resolve the `MollieApiClient` from the container instead:

```php
// Instead of MollieManager
use Mollie\Laravel\Facades\Mollie;

$client = Mollie::api();
```

#### Global Helper Function
The `mollie()` helper function was deleted. If you rely on the helper function, either consider switching to
- injecting or resolving the `MollieApiClient` from the container, or
- use the `Mollie\Laravel\Facades\Mollie::api()` facade

If none of these are an option for you, you can create your own `helpers.php` file and insert the code for the `mollie()` function yourself.

```php
// app/helpers.php
<?php

use \Mollie\Api\MollieApiClient;

if (! function_exists('mollie')) {
    /**
     * @return MollieApiClient
     */
    function mollie()
    {
        return resolve(MollieApiClient::class);
    }
}
```
