Manage External References in Laravel

This package facilitates the seamless integration of your Laravel Models with external systems or services by managing external references or identifiers. It streamlines the process of associating your application's data with external datasets, such as payment processor IDs or user accounts. This enhancement enables the smooth integration of your application with diverse services and systems, thereby augmenting its capabilities and adaptability.

composer require ayzerobug/laravel-external-references

You can publish and run the migrations with:

Usage

Include the HasExternalReferences trait in your model:

use Ayzerobug\LaravelExternalReferences\Traits\HasExternalReferences;

class Payment extends Model
{
    use HasExternalReferences;

    ...
}

Set Payment External Reference:

use App\Models\Payment;

$payment = Payment::find($id);
$idOnPaystack = "random-id";
$payment->setExternalReference($idOnPaystack, 'paystack');

Get the external Reference

use App\Models\Payment;

$payment = Payment::find($id);
$idOnPaystack = $payment->getExternalReference('paystack');
