README
This package allows you to access attribute fields in your model or use a data field without any changes to your migrations.
Features
- Use extra data on eloquent model without defining a new column
- Easily interact with multiple custom fields on your model as data fields
collect
any data and save into any model with theHasData
trait
Installation & Setup
You can install the package via composer;
composer require moirei/laravel-model-data
Add the MOIREI\ModelData\HasData
trait to your model;
use MOIREI\ModelData\HasData; class YourModel extends Model { use HasData; ... }
Using the package's model
Optional if using a predefined attribute/column in your models.
Publish the migration with;
php artisan vendor:publish --tag="model-data-migrations"
Run the migrate command to create the necessary table;
php artisan migrate
Mode 1: Persist data outside your model
This is the default mode if the $model_data
property is falsy.
Mode 2: Persist data in your model
Define the data column (s) in your migration;
Schema::create('products', function (Blueprint $table) { $table->modelData('data'); // OR $table->json('data')->nullable(); // OR $table->text('data')->nullable(); });
Then define a model_data
variable in your model. This is the name of the storage column(s).
... /** * ModelData: use model's column * * @var string|array|false */ protected $model_data = 'data'; class YourModel extends Model { use HasData; ... }
Usage
Accessing the data
The below uses data
if in mode 1 or the value of $model_data
is "data"
;
Basic access:
$model->data->name = 'value'; $model->data->name; // Returns 'value'
Access as arrays:
$model->data['name'] = 'value'; $model->data['name']; // Returns 'value'
Calling as function.
$model->data('name', 'value'); $model->data('name'); // Returns 'value' $model->data('moirei.tech', 'awesome'); $model->data('moirei.tech'); // Returns 'awesome'
All existing data can be overridden by assigning an array;
// All existing data will be replaced $model->data = ['name' => 'value']; $model->data->all(); // Returns ['name' => 'value']
With get
and set
;
$model->data = [ 'moirei' => ['tech' => 'awesome'], 'mg001' => ['resource' => 'white'], ]; // or $model->data->set([ 'moirei' => ['tech' => 'awesome'], 'mg001' => ['resource' => 'white'], ]); // or $model = $model->data([ 'moirei' => ['tech' => 'awesome'], 'mg001' => ['resource' => 'white'], ]); $model->data->set('mg001.name', 'Wireless Power Bank'); $model->data->get('mg001.name'); // Returns 'Wireless Power Bank'
get
with default:
$model->data->get('undefined-attribute', 'default'); // Returns 'default'
Multiple/custom data fields (mode 2)
The above example uses data
field which is the default for external mode. To allow multiple access with custom names,
... /** * ModelData: use model's column * * @var string|array|false */ // protected $model_data = 'settings'; protected $model_data = [ 'settings', 'meta', ]; ...
Access with
// set values $model->settings->set([]); $model->meta->set([]); // get values dump($model->settings()); dump($model->meta());
Persisting data
$model->save(); // or $model->data->save();
Modify and save into a different model with
$model->data->filter()->save($model_2, $key = 'data');
Collections
This packages supplies Collections functions pinch
and save
globally.
This means you can collect and save any data into any model that has the HasData
trait;
$data = collect([ 'first_name' => 'James', 'last_name' => 'Franco' ])->save($model, $key = 'data');
The pinch
function simply allows you to access a collection's underlying array using the dot notation.
The key
option defaults to data
.
