Laravel ExtendedModel
---------------------

[](#laravel-extendedmodel)

[![Latest stable version](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/4991387794f641145c6f94a0be5faf6c4dd3c5e606da59002188132d014933d6/68747470733a2f2f696d672e736869656c64732e696f2f62616467652f5061636b61676973742d76312e302e302d626c7565)](https://packagist.org/packages/akaadream/extendedmodel)

Laravel ExtendedModel is a package to upgrade the possibilities of the default Eloquent Model. ExtendedModel provide a new method called `createOrUpdateWith` which is using request inputs to hydrate a model instance.

No more big array of model properties' initialization !

### Installation

[](#installation)

You can install the package using composer:

```
composer require akaadream/extendedmodel

```

### Usage

[](#usage)

You should replace the default command `php artisan make:model` with `php artisan make:extendedmodel` to quickly create an extended model. For example, `php artisan make:extendedmodel MyModel` will give you this class:

```
use \Akaadream\ExtendedModel\ExtendedModel;

class MyModel extends ExtendedModel
{
    //
}
```

You will now be able to use the `createOrUpdateWith` method inside your controllers:

```
// ...

public function store (Request $request)
{
    MyModel::createOrupdateWith(new MyModel, $request);
}
```

Take in consideration that all the requested inputs have to follow the exact same name of the model properties. So if your model have a property `name`, the method will try to find `$request->input('name')` to assign its value.

You can also put an array of options at the third parameter of the method if you want to attribute a specific value for any of the model property. For example, if you have to upload a file, and then, you want to put on your model the filename inside an image property, you can do:

```
public function store (Request $request)
{
    $filename = "extendedmodelimage.png";
    // ... image upload

    MyModel::createOrUdateWith(new MyModel, $request, ['image' => $filename]);
}
```
