Features

This simple package adds a trait to your project that can be used to sort collections of a model by default by a specified column. As a result, the model looks more clean and readable.

Installation

Install the package with composer.

composer require timwassenburg/default-model-order

Usage

Once you have installed the package, you can import the DefaultOrder trait into your model to set the default order. Then, you can assign the desired column to the $orderBy variable to order by that column. Additionally, you may optionally set the $orderDirection variable to specify the direction of the order, with the default value being asc.

use TimWassenburg\DefaultModelOrder\DefaultOrder;

class User extends Model
{
    use DefaultOrder;

    protected static string $orderBy = 'name';
    protected static string $orderDirection = 'desc';
}

Publish config (optional)

Suppose you wish to modify the default column name or direction. In that case, you may publish the configuration file to make the necessary adjustments. To do so, run the following command:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="TimWassenburg\DefaultModelOrder\DefaultModelOrderServiceProvider" --tag="config"
