Aware

Self validating models for Eloquent in L4

Installation

Composer

{ // composer.json
  ...
  "require": {
    "laravel/framework": "4.0.*",
    "awareness/aware": "dev-master"
  },
  ...
}

Usage

Create a model with validation rules:

<?php

use Awareness\Aware\Model;

class User extends Model {

  public static $rules = array(
    'name' => 'required'
  );

}

Try to save it:

$user = new User();
$user->save(); // returns false

$user->name = 'Colby';
$user->save(); // saves then returns true!

Save without validating:

$user = new User();
$user->force()->save();
