Not working on json casting to array

[webparadoxer]

Schema::create('customers', function (Blueprint $table) { $table->id(); $table->json('data'); $table->timestamps(); });

` protected $casts = [
'data' => 'array',
];

protected $encryptable = [
    'data'
];`

Customer::firstOrCreate(['data' => ['name' => 'me', 'email' => '[email protected]'] ]);

I know it might be too late but...
Are you still having this issue? I was not able to reproduce (using laravel 7.19.1 and php 7.2)

I am also having this issue with a casted array on Laravel 8. When I take the encrypted string out of the database and pass it through Crypt::decrypt() the result is a PHP array. It looks like when the field is being stored the array is encrypted BEFORE it is passed through json_encode (or not passed through json_encode at all)

(Laravel 8 on PHP 7.4)

To fix this, you just need to add the following just above line 67 (at time of writing) of the Trait so that the PHP array is cast to JSON before storing. Tested successfully.

if ($this->isJsonCastable($key) && ! is_null($value)) { $value = $this->castAttributeAsJson($key, $value); }

merged? or anything?
