Laravel Safe Json Cast
======================

[](#laravel-safe-json-cast)

If you are using Laravel's native array/object cast, you may have noticed that it turns JS empty objects into empty arrays. This package provides an alternative to the native cast.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

You can install the package via composer:

```
composer require arandu/laravel-safe-json-cast
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
use Arandu\LaravelSafeJsonCast\Json;

class User extends Model
{
    protected $casts = [
        'options' => Json::class,
    ];
}

$user = User::create([
    'name' => 'John Doe',
    'options' => [
        'foo' => 'bar',
    ],
]);

$user->options->foo; // bar
```

Best Practices
--------------

[](#best-practices)

It is advisable that you send casted fields as JSON strings from the frontend. This way you can avoid the problem of empty objects being converted to empty arrays. This package will handle JSON strings and convert them accordingly.

```
axios({
    method: 'post',
    url: '/api/users',
    data: {
        name: 'John Doe',
        options: JSON.stringify(userOptions),
    }
});
```
