Eloquent Extensions and Helpers

Custom Extensions for Eloquent

See https://laravel.com/docs/eloquent

Laravel 5.x

Install the saritasa/eloquent-custom package:

$ composer require saritasa/eloquent-custom

Optionally (if you want to use default migrations): If you use Laravel 5.4 or less, or 5.5+ with package discovery disabled, add the PredefinedMigrationsServiceProvider service provider config/app.php:

'providers' => array(
    // ...
    Saritasa\Database\Eloquent\PredefinedMigrationsServiceProvider::class,
)

then you can execute command:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider=Saritasa\Database\Eloquent\PredefinedMigrationsServiceProvider --tag=migrations

Available classes

Entity

Extends Eloquent model, adds:

• Ability to set default field values for newly created inheritors

Example:

class User extends Entity
{
    protected $defaults = [
        'role' => 'user'
    ]
}

now if you create new user it will have role 'user' by default, if you don't provide it explicitly:

$user = new User(['name' => 'John Doe']);
$this->assertEquals('user', $user->role); // true

$admin = new User['name' => 'Mary', 'role' => 'admin');
$this->assertEquals('admin', $admin->role); // true

SortByName

Global scope for Eloquent models to add sorting by name by default

Example:

class SomeModel extends Model {
...
    protected static function boot()
    {
        parent::boot();
        static::addGlobalScope(new \Saritasa\Database\Eloquent\Scopes\SortByName());
    }
...
}
