laravel-more's Introduction

More (for Laravel)

Why more? Because I seem to use it in all my Laravel projects. And who doesn't want more Laravel? ;p

Highlights

compact()

Example for compact(), with say, a payment...

$user->update($payment->compact());

// is the same as

$user->update(['payment_id' => $payment->getKey()]);

// or if your field was `default_payment_id` instead of `payment_id`...

$user->update($payment->compact('default_payment');

unmorph($as = null)

The unmorph($as) function is similar to compact()...

$order->update($transaction->unmorph('charge'));

// is the same as

$order->update(['charge_id' => $transaction->getKey(), 'charge_type' => get_class($transaction)]);

BelongsToUser

How often do your models belong to User... a lot, right?

class Post extend Model 
{
    use BelongsToUser;
}

Usage

$post->user()                       // BelongsTo
$post->user                         // App\User
$post->isAccessibleBy($user)        // boolean
Post::forUser($user)                // Builder|Post
Post::forUsers($arr_or_col)         // Builder|Post
Post::createForUser($user, [...])   // Post

And of course there is more included

The \More\Laravel\Traits\Model\Core namespace is reasonable for global usage.

The \More\Laravel\Traits\Model namespace is for the per model use cases.

Good Luck!

Composer

$ composer require dan/laravel-more dev-master

Implementation options

Do you have a base model? e.g. `App\Model`

Yes

Add the traits you like to base model.
Or extend \More\Laravel\Model

No

Make a base model \App\Model that extends More\Laravel\Model or do à la carte, and use \More\Laravel\Traits\Model\* as needed.
Or extend \More\Laravel\Model if you're really lazy.
Or use traits on specific models...blerg.
