Royalcms-Metable is a package for easily attaching arbitrary data to Eloquent models for Royalcms 5.

Features

One-to-many polymorphic relationship allows attaching data to Eloquent models without needing to adjust the database schema.
Type conversion system allows data of numerous different scalar and object types to be stored and retrieved. See the documentation for the list of supported types.

Attach some metadata to an eloquent model

$post = Post::create($this->request->input());
$post->setMeta('color', 'blue');

Query the model by its metadata

$post = Post::whereMeta('color', 'blue');

Retrieve the metadata from a model

$value = $post->getMeta('color');

Add the Royalcms\Component\Metable\Metable trait to any eloquent model class that you want to be able to attach metadata to.

<?php

namespace App;

use Royalcms\Component\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Plank\Metable\Metable;

class Post extends Model
{
	use Metable;

	//...
}
