TobyMaxham Laravel Properties

This package can be used to add some functionality to your Eloquent Models using properties.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require tobymaxham/laravel-properties

Usage

Your Eloquent Models should use the TobyMaxham\LaravelProperties\Traits\UseProperties trait.

The trait contains a few methods to help you handle JSON-Date in your Database Table Column.

Your models' migrations should have a field called properties to save the JSON-Data.

Here's an example of how to implement the trait:

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use TobyMaxham\LaravelProperties\Traits\UseProperties;

class YourEloquentModel extends Model
{
    use UseProperties;
}

With its migration:

<?php

use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;

return new class extends Migration
{
    public function up(): void
    {
        Schema::create('your_eloquent_models', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->id();
            
            $table->json('properties');
            
            // ...
            
            $table->timestamps();
        });
    }

    public function down(): void
    {
        Schema::dropIfExists('your_eloquent_models');
    }
};

Use to store values in your Model

$model = new EloquentModel();
$model->setProperty('key', 'value');
$model->save();

You can also use Laravel's "dot" notation to set a value:

$model->setProperty('foo.bar', 'value');

Receive a value from your Model

$model->getProperty('foo.bar'); // 'value'

You can also pass a default value:

$model->getProperty('foo.baz', 'another Value'); // 'another Value'
