README

This package is designed to extract Eloquent Relations from a given Model using reflection and return type checking.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require plank/larelations

Usage

Given an instance of an Eloquent Model or its class-string, this package will extract all relations defined on the model, and return them in a Collection of RelationInstance items.

Each RelationInstance has the ReflectionMethod ($method) where the relation was defined, as well as an instance of the Relation ($relation). There are some helper methods on the RelationInstance that allow you to classify the type relation it is (ie. child, parent, pivotted, etc).

$extractor = new \Plank\Larelations\Extractor();
$instances = $extractor->extract($post);
$instances = \Plank\Larelations\Facades\Larelations::extract(Post::class);

foreach ($instances as $instance) {
    if ($instance->isChild()) {
        // Handle child types of relations
    }

    if ($instance->relation instanceof \Znck\Eloquent\Traits\BelongsToThrough) {
        // Handle custom relation
    }

    // The method property is the \ReflectionMethod of the relation instance
    $instance->method->getName(); // posts
}

Testing

composer test
