An alternative implementation of the Eloquent Model accessors & mutators pattern for type casting attributes

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require sfneal/casts

Usage

In order to make use of the attribute type Casts add the HasCustomCasts trait to your model before definition attributes that should be cast to custom types.

use Carbon\Carbon;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Sfneal\Casts\CarbonCast;
use Sfneal\Casts\NewlineCast;
use Sfneal\Casts\NullableIntArrayCast;
use Sfneal\LaravelCustomCasts\HasCustomCasts;

class People extends Model
{
    use HasCustomCasts;

    protected $table = 'people';
    protected $primaryKey = 'person_id';

    protected $fillable = [
        'person_id',
        'name_first',
        'name_last',
        'email',
        'birthday',
        'bio',
        'favorites',
    ];

    /**
     * @var array Attributes that should be type cast
     */
    protected $casts = [
        'birthday' => CarbonCast::class,
        'bio' => NewlineCast::class,
        'favorites' => NullableIntArrayCast::class,
    ];
}
