README

This Package provides a simple way to load a model relation by require it in the request, You must identify the relation you wish to be included if you require it in the request

Installation

Install the package via Composer:

$ composer require khaled-dev/includable

Usage

first use the trait in model:

namespace App;

use Khaled7\Includable\Includable;

use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;

class User extends Authenticatable
{   
    use Includable;
    
    /**
     * The attributes that are includable,
     * references to a relations method.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $includable = [
        'posts',
        'votes',
    ];
   
    public function posts()
    {
        return $this->hasMany(Post::class);
    } 
    
    public function votes()
    {
        return $this->hasMany(Vote::class);
    }
    
    // Not includable, coz not in $includable
    public function subscribes()
    {
        return $this->hasMany(Subscribe::class);
    }  
}

In controller:

// Use to load all includable of all users
User::withRequestIncludes()->get()

// Use to load the includable of this instance
$user = User::first()
$user->loadRequestIncludes();

In Request:

localhost:8000/users?includes=posts,votes

To show the result:

// The method `loaded` comes with this package to easily load the included relation  
// Use to load the model 
$this->loaded('posts'); 

// Use to load the model to its laravel-resource
PostResource::collection($this->loaded('posts')),


// laravel-resource
// Use to Load an opptional model to its resource
PostResource::collection($this->when($this->loaded('posts'), $this->loaded('posts'))),

// laravel-resource
// Or semply you can use `WhenLoaded` laravel builtin method
PostResource::collection($this->whenLoaded('posts'))

Better to use laravel-resource

In result it should help you to only include the relations if you really need it, and usually use in APIs.
