README

This package includes a trait and sample configuration to manage your model relationships via the configurations. The idea is that you don't have add methods on models for each relationship, but rather create traits that add these methods to the model. That way you only have to create a trait for each model and not for each relationship.

Installation

To install this package you just have to require it through composer.

composer require tjventurini/get-relationship-key

Usage

Include the trait on your models.

use Tjventurini\GetRelationshipKey\GetRelationshipKey;

...

class User extends Authenticatable
{
    ...
    use GetRelationshipKey;
}

Then you can call $this->getRelationshipKey() to get a camelcase representation of your models class name.Take the following examples.

User => user
OrderItem => order_item
SimpleXML => simple_xml

Now instead of adding relationships directly on your model you create traits that will handle this for you. Check out the Traits Tjventurini\GetRelationshipKey\BelongsToUser and Tjventurini\GetRelationshipKey\BelongsToManyUsers to find out how you can write such traits on your own.

Configuration

To configure the BelongsToUser and BelongsToManyUsers table, that come with this package, just add the following to your config/database.php and add your values accordingly.

    /*
     |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
     | Relationships
     |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
     |
     | In this section you will find all eloquent relationships and the values
     | to configure them.
     |
     */

    'tables' => [
        'user' => 'users',

        // pivot tables
        // eg.:
        // 'user_page' => 'user_page',
        // 'page_user' => 'page_user',
    ],

    'models' => [
        'user' => \App\User::class,
    ],

    'foreign_keys' => [
        'user' => 'user_id',
    ],

Now you should be able to just add your relationship traits on the models where you need them instead of adding the same methods on multiple models.
