README

This library help you to make more advanced cast to eloquent model.

Compatible with laravel 5.4 and upper.

Tested with laravel 5.4, 5.5, 5.6 and 5.7.

Install

composer require grummfy/eloquent-extended-cast-model

Usage

Using the trait to facilitate the usage of custom cast on model. There is two traits:

• CastableModel: allow you to use custom cast
• JsonCollectionCastable: allow you to use json collection on cast

See example directory for a possible usage.

Custom casting in your model

• add the trait CastableModel
• in the $cast property of the model, add your field and the custom cast 'fooField' => 'bar'
• add two methods: toBar and fromBar (Bar is the same name as the one present in the $cast property)

If you want to add some extra value to your cast method (like it's done in the JsonReadOnlyCollection), you can fill the property $castParameters of your model: 'fooField' => ['argument1', 'argument2'].

Cast JsonReadOnlyCollection

This library came with a json collection. It's a collection of value that are saved in json. It's nice to use with a collection of value object.
