Use shorter and more readable syntax where possible

Bad:

php

$request->session()->get('cart');
$request->input('name');

Good:

php

session('cart');
$request->name;

Common syntax	Shorter and more readable syntax
`Session::get('cart')`	`session('cart')`
`$request->session()->get('cart')`	`session('cart')`
`Session::put('cart', $data)`	`session(['cart' => $data])`
`$request->input('name'), Request::get('name')`	`$request->name, request('name')`
`return Redirect::back()`	`return back()`
`is_null($object->relation) ? null : $object->relation->id`	`optional($object->relation)->id`
`return view('index')->with('title', $title)->with('client', $client)`	`return view('index', compact('title', 'client'))`
`$request->has('value') ? $request->value : 'default';`	`$request->get('value', 'default')`
`Carbon::now(), Carbon::today()`	`now(), today()`
`App::make('Class')`	`app('Class')`
`->where('column', '=', 1)`	`->where('column', 1)`
`->orderBy('created_at', 'desc')`	`->latest()`
`->orderBy('age', 'desc')`	`->latest('age')`
`->orderBy('created_at', 'asc')`	`->oldest()`
`->select('id', 'name')->get()`	`->get(['id', 'name'])`
`->first()->name`	`->value('name')`
