Integrate the entity-attribute-value model with polymorphic Eloquent-relations in your Laravel application.
You can install the package via composer:
composer require davidwesdijk/laravel-polymorphic-eavIn order to implement the Entity-Attribute-Value-model to your Eloquent models, the only required action is to add the
HasEntityAttributeValues Trait. That's all action required to use the full features this package brings.
use DavidWesdijk\LaravelPolymorphicEav\Traits\HasEntityAttributeValues;
class Product extends Model
{
use HasEntityAttributeValues;
// Implementation of your Eloquent model
}Attributes are, when the Trait is added, accessable and assignable by the props accessor on your Eloquent Model.
Just set its value!
class ProductController extends Controller
{
public function update(AnyValidatedRequest $request, Product $product)
{
$product->props->details->color = $request->color; // E.g. 'red'
// That's it!
}
}The assigned attributes are simply accessible by defining the group and the attribute in the props accessor like
the following example. The concept is that all required properties must be accessible, without throwing exceptions, to
keep you code clean, readable and maintainable.
// This attribute has been set before
$product->props->details->color; // 'red'
// This attribute has never been set before
$product->props->details->sku; // null
// Even if the group has never been defined
$product->props->foo->bar; // nullIf you'd like e.g. remove a property you can either set it's value to null, or you can simply unset the value. The database entry will be removed.
unset($product->props->details->color);
$product->props->details->color; // nullYou might run into a situation where you have to have all assigned properties available in an array or json. This
package respects the Arrayable and Jsonable interfaces.
$product->props->details->toArray(); ['color' => 'red']
$product->props->details->toJson(); '{color: "red"}'composer testPlease see CHANGELOG for more information what has changed recently.
