Observer class

The conversions are generated automatically after save the model

    $product = Product::first();

    // create or update content
    $product->details = '<h1>New content</h1>';
    $product->save();

    // Updating model but not affect to the file content, No changes
    $product->some_another_field = 'product_1';
    $product->save();

    // Deleting file
    $product->details = null;
    $product->save();


    $newProduct = new Product;
    $newProduct->details = '<h1>Hello</h1>';
    $newProduct->save();

    $product = Product::with('string_files')->first();

    return view('test', compact('product')),

     * @param string $attribute
     * @param string $richText - default value to show if file not exists
     */
    @includeHtmlFromString($product, 'details', $product->details) // : html content
