Combines the casts, fillable, and hidden properties into a single schema array property amongst other features.

Other features include:

• Custom configuration entries against your model attributes.
• Store your attribute rules against your model and store and validate your model data automatically.
• Custom casting is now possible using this package! See Custom casts.

This package has been developed by H&H|Digital, an Australian botique developer. Visit us at hnh.digital.

Prerequisites

• PHP >= 8.0.2
• Laravel >= 9.0

Installation

Via composer:

$ composer require hnhdigital-os/laravel-model-schema ~3.0

Configuration

Enable the model

Enable the model on any given model.

use HnhDigital\ModelSchema\Model;

class SomeModel extends Model
{

}

We recommend implementing a shared base model that you extend.

Convert your current properties

The schema for a model is implemented using a protected property.

Here's an example:

    /**
     * Describe your model.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected static $schema = [
        'id' => [
            'cast'    => 'integer',
            'guarded' => true,
        ],
        'name' => [
            'cast'     => 'string',
            'rules'    => 'max:255',
            'fillable' => true,
        ],
        'created_at' => [
            'cast'    => 'datetime',
            'guarded' => true,
            'log'     => false,
            'hidden'  => true,
        ],
        'updated_at' => [
            'cast'    => 'datetime',
            'guarded' => true,
            'hidden'  => true,
        ],
        'deleted_at' => [
            'cast'    => 'datetime',
            'rules'  => 'nullable',
            'hidden'  => true,
        ],
    ];

Ensure the parent boot occurs after your triggers so that any attribute changes are done before this packages triggers the validation.

    /**
     * Boot triggers.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public static function boot()
    {
        self::updating(function ($model) {
            // Doing something.
        });

        parent::boot();
    }

Models implementing this package will now throw a ValidationException exception if they do not pass validation. Be sure to catch these.

    try {
        $user = User::create(request()->all());
    } catch (HnhDigital\ModelSchema\Exceptions\ValidationException $exception) {
        // Do something about the validation.

        // You can add things to the validator.
        $exception->getValidator()->errors()->add('field', 'Something is wrong with this field!');

        // We've implemented a response.
        // This redirects the same as a validator with errors.
        return $exception->getResponse('user::add');
    }

Custom casts

This package allows the ability to add custom casts. Simply create a trait, and register the cast on boot.

trait ModelCastAsMoneyTrait
{
    /**
     * Cast value as Money.
     *
     * @param mixed $value
     *
     * @return Money
     */
    protected function castAsMoney($value, $currency = 'USD', $locale = 'en_US'): Money
    {
        return new Money($value, $currency, $locale);
    }

    /**
     * Convert the Money value back to a storable type.
     *
     * @return int
     */
    protected function castMoneyToInt($key, $value): int
    {
        if (is_object($value)) {
            return (int) $value->amount();
        }

        return (int) $value->amount();
    }

    /**
     * Register the casting definitions.
     */
    public static function bootModelCastAsMoneyTrait()
    {
        static::registerCastFromDatabase('money', 'castAsMoney');
        static::registerCastToDatabase('money', 'castMoneyToInt');
        static::registerCastValidator('money', 'int');
    }
}

Defining your attributes would look like this:

    ...

    'currency' => [
        'cast'     => 'string',
        'rules'    => 'min:3|max:3',
        'fillable' => true,
    ],
    'total_amount' => [
        'cast'        => 'money',
        'cast-params' => '$currency:en_US',
        'default'     => 0,
        'fillable'    => true,
    ],
    ...

Casting parameters would include a helper function, or a local model method.

eg $currency:user_locale(), or $currency():$locale()

Available custom casts

• Cast the attribute to Money
