Query Scopes

[HenkPoley]

I understand that since there haven't been patches in this repo in years, that this code either does exactly what you need it to do, or you don't use it yourself anymore.

But I'd like to point to the existence of 'Query Scopes' in Laravel 4.2+. Which make it possible to automatically limit the retrieval of Model instances inside Eloquent, by attaching extra WHERE clauses to the data retrieval query. This would make groups an integrated part of your Models, that you wouldn't need to think (much) about, because a user can only retrieve Groupable Model instances that they have access to.

https://laravel.com/docs/7.x/eloquent#query-scopes

Just a suggestion in case you are working on a 'Groupable 2.0'.

Personally I'm just looking around for packages that add groups and RBAC rights to Laravel Models. And yours seems to be very much in the direction what I would need. Maybe I would additionally need hierarchical/nested groups. Depending on what we decide here you might get some Pull Requests. Thanks for making such code public.
