README

A set of useful traits for Laravel.

Why

Laravel is a great framework and Eloquent is a piece of art in terms of ActiveRecord ORM but it lacks some useful quirks and features that I decided to integrated trough a set of Traits.

What is a trait?

In PHP A trait is a a mechanism for code reuse in single inheritance languages such as PHP. A Trait is intended to reduce some limitations of single inheritance by enabling a developer to reuse sets of methods freely in several independent classes living in different class hierarchies. The semantics of the combination of Traits and classes is defined in a way which reduces complexity,and avoids the typical problems associated with multiple inheritance and Mixins. Source

How to use this package

Simple enough, just grab it from composer composer require ludo237/laravel-traits and it's done. Now you can use the traits inside your eloquent models or wherever you needs them

What is included

With time things can change current traits are:

• Bannable inject logic into models to interact with a banned_at column.
• CanBeActivate add logic to a model in order to activate/deactivate it using a timestamp column
• ExposeTableProperties it allows the model to expose publicly the table name, the primary key name and his type.
• HasSlug automatically creates the logic behind a slug column for your model.
• InteractsWithApi automatically set the api_key for the current model following Laravel standards.
