Attribute Accessors not working after laravel app upgrade

Laravel accessor not working after I upgraded from v8.75 to v11.31

I had this LARAVEL v8.75 App where in the User model I created an Accessor for photo like below

public function getPhotoAttribute($value)
    {
        // Default Photo
        $defaultPhotoUrl = mediaUrl('assets/user.png');

        return !empty($value) && $value != 'undefined' ? (new FileHelper)->getFileUrl($value) : $defaultPhotoUrl;
    }

with the intention of setting the user default image where it's null, but after my upgrade to v11.31, I noticed empty photos are returned as null instead of with the default image

I went through the documentation and noticed that the syntax was changed. then I upgraded the function to:

     /**
     * Interact with the user's photo.
     */
    protected function photo(): Attribute
    {
        return Attribute::make(
            get: fn (string $value) => (!empty($value) && $value != 'undefined' ? (new FileHelper)->getFileUrl($value) :mediaUrl('assets/user.png')),
        );
    }

but yet no result

In Laravel 9+, the old get---Attribute magic methods still work, but the new Attribute based accessors have a slightly different signature and behavior.

In your case you have to

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Casts\Attribute;

protected function photo(): Attribute
{
    return Attribute::make(
        get: function ($value, array $attributes) {
            $raw = $attributes['photo'] ?? null;
            if (!empty($raw) && $raw !== 'undefined') {
                return (new FileHelper)->getFileUrl($raw);
            }
            return mediaUrl('assets/user.png');
        }
    );
}
