Support named and positional arguments when instantiating a Bag

New Features

With this release Bag now supports the ability to create new instances by passing in named or positional arguments. (docs)

To get auto-complete in your editor, you will need to add @method phpdocs to your bag class. This can be automated using artisan make:bag <Bag> --docs --update. (docs)

Full Changelog: 1.2.2...1.3.0

Fix null support for Magic Casts

Fixes

• Fix an issue where MagicCast would error when casting to Bag objects, and would be less strict when casting to other types (i.e. it would act like strict_types was off, null -> int = 0)

New Features

This release adds support for Laravel's Unique and Exists database-based validations.
