Installation

To get the latest version of Laravel Model Related Fields, simply require the project using Composer:

$ composer require dedmytro/laravel-model-related-fields

Or manually update require block of composer.json and run composer update.

{
    "require": {
        "dedmytro/laravel-model-related-fields": "^0.1"
    }
}

Using

Add HasRelatedFields trait to your model and define method addRelatedFields() which returns array related fields you want to load on each Model query. On example below you can see how to load related field through many relations and load SUM() of HasMany relation.

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use DeDmytro\LaravelModelRelatedFields\RelatedField;
use DeDmytro\LaravelModelRelatedFields\Traits\HasRelatedFields;
// ...

class Order extends Model
{
    use HasRelatedFields;
    
    // ...
    
    protected function addRelatedFields(): array
    {
        return [
            'country_currency' => 'event.company.country.currency',
            'total' => new RelatedField('items.total', function ($query) {
                $query->selectRaw('SUM(price)');
            }),
        ];
    }

where

'event.company.country.currency' is the same as $order->event->company->country->currency

'items.total' is the same as $order->items()->sum('price')

As an alternative you can use $relatedFields property for simple fields, without RelatedField class usage. Property and method result array will be be merged.

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use DeDmytro\LaravelModelRelatedFields\RelatedField;
use DeDmytro\LaravelModelRelatedFields\Traits\HasRelatedFields;
// ...

class Order extends Model
{
    use HasRelatedFields;
    
    // ...
    
    protected $relatedFields = [
      'country_currency' => 'event.company.country.currency',
   ];
    
    protected function addRelatedFields(): array
    {
        return [
            'total' => new RelatedField('items.total', function ($query) {
                $query->selectRaw('SUM(price)');
            }),
        ];
    }

The result of query:

$order = Order::first();

you will get Order model with all fields plus additional related fields:

[
    "id" => 1,
    // ...
    "country_currency" => "USD",
    "total" => 25.00,
]

How to disable/enable

Disable globally

To disable related fields for all models by default,

  • publish config and change default value
'enabled' => false
  • add env variable
ENABLE_MODEL_RELATED_FIELDS=false

Disable for particular model

Add protected $enableRelatedFields = false

protected $enableRelatedFields = false;

Disable for current query

$order = Order::withoutRelatedFields()->first();

Enable for current query if disabled globally

$order = Order::withRelatedFields()->first();
