Usage Instructions

Add Trait HasCustomSettings and an attribute array $customSettings to the Model.

use MaxKalahur\LaravelModelSettings\Traits\HasCustomSettings;

class DummyOrg extends Model
{
    use HasCustomSettings;
    ...
    private $customSettings = [
      'SECRET_KEY',
      'ADDRESS',
      'HAS_VISITS'
    ];
    
    // Using in query in scope
    public function scopeWithAddress($query)
    {
        return $query->whereHas('settings', function($q) {
            $q->where('key','ADDRESS')->whereNotNull('value');
        });
    }
}

Methods of custom settings:

• setCustomSetting( string $key, $val, bool $is_encrypted)
• getCustomSetting( string $key )
• deleteCustomSetting( string $key )
• getAllCustomSettings()
• deleteAllCustomSettings()

$org = DummyOrg::create();

$org->setCustomSetting('ADDRESS', 'Some address 59901 US'); 
$org->getCustomSetting('ADDRESS');            // Returns 'Some address 59901 US'

$org->setCustomSetting('SECRET_KEY', 'da39a3ee5e6b4b', true);   // Save with encription
$org->getCustomSetting('SECRET_KEY');         // returns 'da39a3ee5e6b4b'

$org->setCustomSetting('HAS_VISITS', true);
$org->getCustomSetting('HAS_VISITS');         // returns (bool) true

$org->setCustomSetting('HAS_VISITS', 'true');
$org->getCustomSetting('HAS_VISITS');         // returns (string) 'true'
$org->deleteCustomSetting('HAS_VISITS');
$org->getCustomSetting('HAS_VISITS');         // returns NULL

$org->getAllCustomSettings();                 // returns all settings as (array)
$org->deleteAllCustomSettings();              // deletes all settings from DB

// Using in scopes
DummyOrg::whereNotNull('name')
          ->orWhere
          ->withAddress();

Eagier loading

$org = DummyOrg::with('customSettings')->first();

foreach (range(1, 10) as $i) {
    $org->getCustomSetting('ADDRESS');   // no extra calls to DB
}
