PHP Laravel Support

A collection of helpers, traits, validation rules and service-provider utilities for modern Laravel applications.

Requirements

• PHP >= 8.4
• Laravel >= 13.0

Install

composer require efureev/laravel-support

The package is auto-discovered, no manual provider registration is required.

Features

The full documentation lives in /docs. Below is a short overview.

Validation rules — Php\Support\Laravel\Rules

• Delimited — validates a delimited string (e.g. comma-separated emails), with min/max, custom separator, duplicate control and trimming options.
• Authorized — validates that the current user is authorized (can) to use a given model by its key.
• HasValidate — helper trait that adds reusable validate/validateValue helpers.

Eloquent traits — Php\Support\Laravel\Traits

• Traits\Models\PostgresArray — query scopes for searching inside native PostgreSQL arrays (wherePgArrayContains, wherePgArrayContainsAny, wherePgArrayContainsOnly, wherePgArrayOverlapWith). See \Php\Support\Laravel\Tests\TestClasses\Models\PgArrayModel::scopeByTag.
• Traits\Models\HasModelEntityCache — cache layer for model entities (with pluggable cachers).
• Traits\Models\AllowToExecute — guard helpers for model actions.
• Traits\Models\WrapQuery — query-wrapping helpers.
• Traits\Modelable / Traits\ModelQueryable — bind an Eloquent model into a request/class.
• Traits\Requests\RequestModelable — model resolution from requests.
• Traits\Resources\HasMergeAdditional — merge additional data into API resources.

Sorting — Php\Support\Laravel\Sorting

• Sorting\Model\Sortable — model trait to make records sortable (works with drag'n'drop).
• Sorting\Database\Sortable — migration helpers (columnSortingPosition).

See docs/sortable.md.

Service providers — Php\Support\Laravel\ServiceProviders

AbstractServiceProvider aggregates a set of helper traits: HasCommands, HasPolicies, HasPathHelpers, HasRegisters, HasBooting. See docs/sp.md.

Pagination & Repositories

• Pagination\PaginatedResourceArray — nested paginated resource collections. See docs/pagination.md.
• Repositories\AbstractRepository — base Eloquent repository. See docs/repository.md.

Global helpers — src/Global/base.php

Autoloaded functions: toCollect(), objectToArray(). See docs/global.md.

Test

Local

composer test       # PHPCS + PHPUnit
composer test-cover # with coverage

Docker

Runs the full test gate (PHPCS + PHPUnit) against PostgreSQL 18 inside containers. No local PostgreSQL installation is required.

composer test:docker
# or
docker compose up --build --abort-on-container-exit --exit-code-from app

Development

This is a library, so composer.lock is intentionally not committed and "lock": false is set in composer.json. Every CI run (and local composer update) resolves the latest matching dependency versions, which surfaces incompatibilities with new Laravel/PHP releases early. Pin versions in the consuming application, not here.
