v0.1.0 — first release

First release. Opt-in performance for Laravel's hot paths, with output asserted byte-identical to vanilla Eloquent across every cast type, edge value, and dirty-check.

Install

composer require onelearningcommunity/grease

use Grease\Concerns\HasGrease;

class User extends Model
{
    use HasGrease;
}

What's in it

Four composable per-model tiers over a single lazily-built, per-class blueprint (HasGrease, or the GreasedModel base class):

• HasGreasedHydration — removes the per-row ReflectionClass, the per-instance casts rebuild, and newInstance's redundant work during hydration.
• HasGreasedAttributes — memoizes getCasts / getCastType / getDates / mutator probes / getDateFormat; a divergence guard keeps runtime mergeCasts() / withCasts() correct.
• HasGreasedCasts — flyweight cast dispatch replacing the per-access switch, an enum fast path that delegates conversion to the framework, and synonym-cast flyweight dedup.
• HasGreasedSerialization — eliminates the Carbon parse-and-reformat round-trip for date serialization when a per-class probe certifies a byte-identical rewrite; defers to vanilla otherwise.

Grease\Events\Dispatcher — a drop-in, behaviour-identical faster event dispatcher (no-listener fast path, cached listener resolution, pre-compiled wildcard patterns), opt-in via GreaseEventServiceProvider. Speeds up every dispatch app-wide, not just model events.
