# Upgrade from 7.x to 8.x

IMPORTANT

Laratrust 8.x requires Laravel 10.x

In order to upgrade from Laratrust 7.x to 8.x you have to follow these steps:

"santigarcor/laratrust": "^8.0"

Run composer update to update the source code.
Run php artisan config:clear, php artisan cache:clear and php artisan view:clear.
Update your config/laratrust.php:

4.1. Backup your config/laratrust.php configuration values.

4.2. Delete the config/laratrust.php file.

4.3. Run php artisan vendor:publish --tag=laratrust.

4.4. Update the config/laratrust.php file with your old values.
The ownership feature has been completely removed. Then migrate that code.
The methods isA and isAn have been removed, replace with hasRole.
The user model now must implement the Laratrust\Contracts\LaratrustUser interface and use the Laratrust\Traits\HasRolesAndPermissions trait.
The Role, Permission and Team models should inherit now from the following classes:

Old	New
`Laratrust\Models\LaratrustRole`	`Laratrust\Models\Role`
`Laratrust\Models\LaratrustPermission`	`Laratrust\Models\Permission`
`Laratrust\Models\LaratrustTeam`	`Laratrust\Models\Team`

The methods signatures for the events have been changed. Follow this table to migrate them.

The Querying relation signatures have been changed. Follow this table to migrate them.

Now you can use the 8.x version without any problem.
