Recommendation is to alter table column to `TEXT` type. If you want use `VARCHAR` or `CHAR` column type still you need to check if encrypted value fit. #### Note: [](#note) Do not worry if you have current data in your database not encrypted and added column to `$encryptable` - they will return as is. On save values will be encrypted and everything will work fine. Installation ------------ [](#installation-1) Via Composer command line: ``` $ composer require betterapp/laravel-db-encrypter ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) 1. Use the `betterapp\LaravelDbEncrypter\Traits\EncryptableDbAttribute` trait in any Eloquent model that you wish to use encryption 2. Define a `protected $encryptable` array containing a list of the encrypted attributes. For example: ``` use betterapp\LaravelDbEncrypter\Traits\EncryptableDbAttribute; class Client extends Eloquent { use EncryptableDbAttribute; /** @var array The attributes that should be encrypted/decrypted */ protected $encryptable = [ 'id_number', 'email', ]; } ``` 3. You can use Laravel's original $casts to cast decrypted values ### License [](#license) The MIT License (MIT).
