Laravel Json Model
==================

[](#laravel-json-model)

We really love Laravel as an ORM. But we have a part of our application that persists to a document store, not a relational database. Json Models let us use the best parts of the Eloquent Models, but instead of being backed by a row in a table, they're always serialized to JSON. (Which can include being serialized to an attribute on a traditional Laravel Model!)

Setup
-----

[](#setup)

For now, you will need to add the following for events to work properly.

1. In AppServiceProvider boot method: `JsonModel::setEventDispatcher($this->app['events']);`
2. In AppServiceProvider register method: `JsonModel::clearBootedModels();`
