README

An overkill toolkit for your Sushi models.

If you want to not only read rows from, but also write them to a source like another model's JSON property.

⚠ The current major version of this package is 0. Be aware of what it implies.

Install

composer require wilsonseixo/sushi-sources:@dev

Use

Using this package consists of three steps:

1. Add the SushiWithSource trait to a model.
2. Add the $sourceClass property to the model.
3. Add the $sourceContext property to the model.

You're ready to go.

use SushiSources\Sources\JsonFileSource;
use SushiSources\Traits\SushiWithSource;

class Content extends Model
{
    use SushiWithSource;
    
    protected $schema = [
        'id' => 'integer',
        'name' => 'string',
    ];

    protected string $sourceClass = JsonFileSource::class;
    protected array $sourceContext = [
        'filename'  => './storage/app/contents.json',
    ];
}

Now, whenever you create, update and delete model instances, the source will handle the changes.

$content = new Content(['name' => 'Sushi']);
$content->save();

In this case, the json file will be updated accordingly.

[
    {
        "id": 1,
        "name": "Awesome"
    }
]

It supports SoftDeletes.

Trait options

You can add some properties to the model to achieve some behaviours:

Property	Behaviour
bool $stripPrimaryKeys	Strips primary keys from the rows before persisting to the source.

Sources

Options

Each Sushi model might have its own requirements. For this reason, you can declare properties on the model to change its behavior.

insert a model class code snippet here

Below is a list of the properties you can set to change the sources' behavior for the given model.

Property	Behaviour
array $sourceContext	The context to be passed to the sources' constructor.
bool $persistSushiChanges	Whether to persist table changes to the source.
bool $lockDuringSushiPersist	Whether to use the source lock while performing changes.
bool $refreshRowsBeforePersist	Whether to read rows from the source before persisting changes.
bool $stripPrimaryKeysOnPersist	Whether to strip primary keys from rows when persisting changes.
bool $keyRowsOnPersist	Whether to key rows by primary key when persisting changes.

If you need to change the behavior just for the next action, you can use the following methods:

Property	Toggle on	Toggle off
bool $persistSushiChanges	persistent()	nonPersistent()
bool $lockDuringSushiPersist	locking()	nonLocking()
bool $refreshRowsBeforePersist	rowRefreshing()	nonRowRefreshing()
bool $stripPrimaryKeysOnPersist	keyStripping()	nonKeyStripping()
bool $keyRowsOnPersist	rowKeying()	nonRowKeying()

After an action is performed, the temporary flags are cleared using the method clearMutatingFlags().

Default sources

The package comes with some default sources.

Source abstract

The Source abstract class is what you should use to implement your own source.

Context options:

Property	Type	Description
refresh_on_read	bool	Whether the source should be refreshed when read is called. (pending implementation)
refresh_on_write	bool	Whether the source should be refreshed when write is called. (pending implementation)
refresh_on_persist	bool	Whether the source should be refreshed when persist is called. (pending implementation)

JsonFileSource

The JsonFileSource reads from and writes to a .json file.

$sourceClass = JsonFileSource::class;
$sourceContext = [
    'filename'  => './storage/app/contents.json',
];

Context options:

Property	Type	Description
filename	string	The file path to be used as the source.
json_depth	int	$depth argument for json_decode and json_encode
json_decode_flags	int	$flags argument for json_decode
json_encode_flags	int	$flags argument for json_encode

ModelSource

The ModelSource reads from and writes to a model instance property.

class Section extends Model
{
    use SushiWithSource;

    protected $schema = [
        'id' => 'integer',
        'value' => 'string'
    ];

    protected string $sourceClass = ModelSource::class;
    protected array $sourceContext = [
        'class'     => Content::class,
        'property'  => 'sections',
    ];
}

You might know the instance primary key beforehand and specify it in the source context. But you can also assign an instance dynamically:

$content = new Content(['name' => 'Sushi']);
Section::setSushiContext('model', $content);

Context options:

Property	Type	Description
class	string	The model class.
key	mixed	The model instance key the source should fetch using Model::find().
query	array<string, array>	Alternatively to the key, you can specify Eloquent builder methods to perform the query. The key is the method and the value is the respective array of arguments (i.e., ['where', ['code', 'something']]).
model	Model	The model instance being used as the source.

Notes

Mass actions

Changes on the sources are triggered by Eloquent events, which means that mass-inserting, updating and deleting will not trigger the persist() method on the source.

To solve this problem, you must call static method persistSushiBulk() (pending implementation) on the model to force

Section::insert([
    ['value' => 'Heading'],
    ['value' => 'Paragraph'],
]);
Section::persistSushiBulk();
