Portable **Eloquent traits** and **Blueprint macros** for common column patterns: **active**, **featured**, **sort order**, **timestamps + soft deletes**, **slug pair** (via **Spatie Sluggable**), **audit user columns** (`created_by`, `updated_by`, `deleted_by`), and **SEO meta columns**.

Activity/event logging is **not** included (intended as a separate package later).

---

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP `^8.4`
- Laravel `illuminate/*` `^11.0|^12.0|^13.0`
- `spatie/laravel-sluggable` `^3.8` (for `HasSlugColumns`)

---

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

[](#installation)

Auto-discovery registers `Banulakwin\EloquentColumns\EloquentColumnsServiceProvider`.

```
composer require banulakwin/laravel-eloquent-columns
```

Optional publish:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=eloquent-columns-config
```

Config keyPurpose`register_macros`Register Blueprint macros on boot (default `true`). Env: `ELOQUENT_COLUMNS_REGISTER_MACROS`.`user_model`Class for `HasAuditColumns` `creator()` / `updater()` / `deleter()`. Falls back to `auth.providers.users.model` if empty. Env: `ELOQUENT_COLUMNS_USER_MODEL`.---

Traits (`Banulakwin\EloquentColumns\Concerns`)
----------------------------------------------

[](#traits-banulakwineloquentcolumnsconcerns)

TraitNotes`HasActiveColumn``is_active` scope `active()`, helpers `markActive` / `markInactive`. Override `getActiveColumn()`.`HasFeaturedColumn`Same pattern for `is_featured` / `featured` scope.`HasSortOrderColumn`Scopes `orderBySortOrder`, `orderBySortOrderDesc`, `moveBefore` / `moveAfter`.`HasTimestampColumns`Datetime casts + optional soft deletes; override `shouldUseSoftDeletes()` to disable.`HasSlugColumns`Spatie `HasSlug` + `slugColumns` fillable; route key = slug. Override source/slug column methods.`HasAuditColumns`Fills audit IDs on create/update/delete when `Auth::check()`. Relationships need a resolvable user model (see config).`HasMetaColumns`Fillable + casts for `meta_title`, `meta_description`, `meta_keywords` (array), `meta_image`. Override column name methods if needed.---

Blueprint macros
----------------

[](#blueprint-macros)

MacroSignature`activeColumn``($name = 'is_active', $default = true)``featuredColumn``($name = 'is_featured', $default = false)``sortOrderColumn``($name = 'sort_order', $default = 0)``slugColumns``($main = 'name', $slug = 'slug')``timestampColumns``($withSoftDeletes = true)``auditColumns``($created = 'created_by', $updated = 'updated_by', $deleted = 'deleted_by', $useUlid = true)` — set **`$useUlid` to `false`** for `foreignId` (bigint) columns.`metaColumns``($title = 'meta_title', $description = 'meta_description', $keywords = 'meta_keywords', $image = 'meta_image')`---
