3neti/laravel-model-input

A Laravel package that enables dynamic, validated inputs attached to Eloquent models.

Features:

• attach arbitrary named inputs to any model (polymorphic)
• enforce validation rules per input type (via enum-driven rules)
• normalize mobile numbers (via laravel-phone)
• dynamic getters/setters via magic accessors
• query models by input (e.g., find by mobile)
• DTO support for structured responses

This package serves as a flexible input layer within the x-change ecosystem.

✨ Core Concept

Instead of adding many columns to a model, you can attach typed inputs:

• mobile
• email
• signature
• address
• bank_account
• etc.

Each input:

• is stored in a separate inputs table
• is validated using rules defined per input type
• can be accessed like a normal attribute

📦 Installation

composer require 3neti/laravel-model-input:^1.2

The current release supports Laravel 12 and 13 on PHP 8.3 and 8.4.

⚙️ Configuration

Publish config (optional):

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=config

🧱 Database Migrations

This package uses:

loadMigrationsFrom()

Run:

php artisan migrate

🧠 Usage

Add trait to your model

use LBHurtado\ModelInput\Traits\HasInputs;

class User extends Model
{
    use HasInputs;
}

Set input

$user->setInput('mobile', '09171234567');

or using enum:

use LBHurtado\ModelInput\Enums\InputType;

$user->setInput(InputType::MOBILE, '09171234567');

Force set (skip validation)

$user->forceSetInput('mobile', '09171234567');

Access input like attribute

$user->mobile;
$user->signature;

Validate input

$user->isValidInput('email', 'test@example.com');

Query by input

User::findByMobile('09171234567');
User::findByInput('mobile', '09171234567');

Supports:

• normalized matching
• partial matching
• flexible formats

Direct access

$user->input('mobile');

📱 Mobile Normalization

Mobile inputs are automatically normalized to:

E.164 format (without "+")

Examples:

• 0917xxxxxxx
• +63917xxxxxxx
• 63917xxxxxxx

All resolve to the same stored value.

🧩 Input Types

Defined via enum:

InputType::MOBILE
InputType::EMAIL
InputType::SIGNATURE
InputType::OTP
...

Each input type has validation rules defined in config:

model-input.rules.mobile

🧾 Schema

inputs
- id
- model_type
- model_id
- name
- value
- timestamps

🧱 Traits

• HasInputs → core functionality
• dynamic getters/setters
• validation and normalization

🧪 Testing

• Testbench
• SQLite in-memory
• test-only migrations under tests/database/migrations

🧭 Architecture Role

In x-change ecosystem:

• contact → identity
• model-input → dynamic attributes layer
• cash → value
• voucher → instruction
• wallet → ledger

🔒 Design Principles

• avoid schema explosion
• strongly typed inputs via enum
• validation-first design
• flexible querying
• normalization of sensitive fields (e.g., mobile)

🚀 Future Enhancements

• input history versioning
• encryption support
• indexing optimizations
• event hooks
