Laravel Fields

Install

Via Composer

$ composer require morningtrain/laravel-fields

Features

A field is at its core responsible for taking a request value and applying it to an eloquent model attribute.

Applying fields

Having a field and a model instance, it can be applied like this:

$field->update($model, $request, FieldContract::BEFORE_SAVE);

and the following for post-save.

$field->update($model, $request, FieldContract::AFTER_SAVE);

Some fields will know that it should run before saving the model (like setting a basic attribute value) while some fields should be run after (attaching related models).

A more complete example would be:

$request = request();

if (is_array($fields) && !empty($fields)) {

    foreach ($fields as $field) {
        $field->update($model, $request, FieldContract::BEFORE_SAVE);
    }

    $model->save();

    foreach ($fields as $field) {
        $field->update($model, $request, FieldContract::AFTER_SAVE);
    }

}

The example uses the following classes:

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use MorningTrain\Laravel\Fields\Contracts\FieldContract;
