A Laravel trait to access model meta data as if it was a property on your model (Fork based on the work of https://github.com/Azirius/hasmeta) for Laravel 5
Run composer require jlopezcur/metable 0.1.*
or add "jlopezcur/metable": "0.1.*"
to your composer.json
file
In the Model that you want to utilise Metable
add the following properties
use Jlopezcur\Metable\MetableTrait;
protected $meta_model = 'ModelName'; // the name of your meta data model
protected $meta_foreign_key = 'user_id'; // the foreign key of your main model
protected $meta_primary_key = 'meta_id'; // the primary key of you meta data model
protected $meta_key_name = 'dataName'; // the column name that stores your meta data key name
protected $meta_value_name = 'dataValue'; // the column name that stores your meta data value
Nothing like a simple example to explain things

User.php
model
class User extends Eloquent {
use Jlopezcur\Metable\MetableTrait;
protected $meta_model = 'UserMeta';
protected $meta_foreign_key = 'user_id';
protected $meta_primary_key = 'id';
protected $meta_key_name = 'meta_name';
protected $meta_value_name = 'meta_value';
/**
* The database table used by the model.
*
* @var string
*/
protected $table = 'users';
/**
* The primary key on the table
*
* @var string
*/
protected $primaryKey = 'id';
// ...
}
UserMeta.php
model
class UserMeta extends Eloquent {
/**
* The database table used by the model.
*
* @var string
*/
protected $table = 'users_meta';
/**
* The primary key on the table
*
* @var string
*/
protected $primaryKey = 'id';
// ...
}
Now we can simply do this for getting meta data...
$user = User::find(1);
echo $user->gender; // Will output 'Male'
We can save meta data easily too...
$user = User::find(1);
$user->gender = 'Female';
$user->save();
Delete meta...
$user = User::find(1);
$user->gender = null;
$user->save();
New meta...
$user = User::find(1);
$user->anything_you_want = 'some lovely value';
$user->save();
Mass assignment...
$user = User::find(1);
$user->fill($request->input())->save();
$user->save();
For mass assignment Remember add in your model...
protected $guarded = array();
