README

If you are using Laravel's native array/object cast, you may have noticed that it turns JS empty objects into empty arrays. This package provides an alternative to the native cast.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require arandu/laravel-safe-json-cast

Usage

use Arandu\LaravelSafeJsonCast\Json;

class User extends Model
{
    protected $casts = [
        'options' => Json::class,
    ];
}

$user = User::create([
    'name' => 'John Doe',
    'options' => [
        'foo' => 'bar',
    ],
]);

$user->options->foo; // bar

Best Practices

It is advisable that you send casted fields as JSON strings from the frontend. This way you can avoid the problem of empty objects being converted to empty arrays. This package will handle JSON strings and convert them accordingly.

axios({
    method: 'post',
    url: '/api/users',
    data: {
        name: 'John Doe',
        options: JSON.stringify(userOptions),
    }
});
