Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - Illuminate/support: ^8.0 - PHP: ^8.0 Installation ------------ [](#installation) You can install the package via composer: ``` composer require cybex/laravel-reflector ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) ### getModelRelations() [](#getmodelrelations) The `getModelRelations()` method returns a Collection of all relations of a Model, with additional information like the name of the relation, relation type, related class and an empty base instance of the given Model from Eloquent. ``` ModelReflector::getModelRelations(User::class); // Returns Illuminate\Support\Collection {#5236 all: [ "Images" => [ "relation" => "Images", "returnType" => "Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Relations\HasMany", "relatedClass" => "App\Models\Image", "relatedModel" => App\Models\Image {#5237}, "relatedTable" => "images", "foreignKeyName" => "id", "qualifiedForeignKeyName" => "images.id", "isRelationParent" => false, ] ] } ``` ### getRelationByTarget() [](#getrelationbytarget) The `getRelationByTarget()` method returns the name of a Relation between the Model and the Target. ``` $user = new User; $image = new Image; ModelReflector::getRelationByTarget($user, $image); // Returns 'Images' ``` ### hasRelation() [](#hasrelation) The `hasRelation()` method returns true if a Model has a specific relation. ``` ModelReflector::hasRelation(User::class, 'Images'); // Returns true ``` ### getMethodReturnType() [](#getmethodreturntype) The `getMethodReturnType()` method returns the type of a specific method on a given Object or Model class. It returns false when the Method does not exist. It returns null if no return type is type hinted. ``` $user = new User; ModelReflector::getMethodReturnType($user, 'Images'); // Returns 'Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Relations\HasMany' ``` ### getModelInstance() [](#getmodelinstance) The `getModelInstance()` method checks if the given model is an instance of a Model or the fully qualified class name of a Model, and returns the model or the empty Eloquent base Model of the given class. ``` ModelReflector::getModelInstance('App\Models\User'); // Returns an empty object of the User class ``` ### getModelClass() [](#getmodelclass) The `getModelClass()` method checks if the given model is an instance of a Model or the fully qualified class name of a Model, and returns the class of the given Model. ``` $user = new User; ModelReflector::getModelClass($user); // Returns 'App\Models\User' ``` ### resolveModelObject() [](#resolvemodelobject) The `resolveModelObject()` method resolves a Model based on a given Model or a Class and the according identifier. If no identifier is given, it returns an empty Builder-Model. If the desired Model can not be found, it will return null. ``` ModelReflector::resolveModelObject(Image::class, 10); // Returns the Image object with the key 10 ``` ### resolveRelatedModel() [](#resolverelatedmodel) The `resolveRelatedModel()` method resolves a related Model by the source and the given Relation. Currently, we only support HasOne or BelongsTo-Relations, as those only return a single Model or null. ``` ModelReflector::resolveRelatedModel($image, 'User'); // Returns the User object that the Image object belongs to ``` ### resolveRelatedModelByTarget() [](#resolverelatedmodelbytarget) The `resolveRelatedModelByTarget()` method resolves a related Model by the source and the given TargetModel. ``` ModelReflector::resolveRelatedModelByTarget($image, User::class); // Returns the User object that the Image object belongs to ``` ### getModelShortName() [](#getmodelshortname) The `getModelShortName()` method returns the Short-Name of a Model. ``` $image = new Image; ModelReflector::getModelShortName($image); // Returns 'Image' ``` ### getAllModels() [](#getallmodels) The `getAllModels()` method returns a Collection of all available Models via the Filesystem. ``` ModelReflector::getAllModels(); // Returns Illuminate\Support\Collection {#384 all: [ "App\Models\User\Image", "App\Models\User", ], } ``` ### getAllInstantiatableModels() [](#getallinstantiatablemodels) The `getAllInstantiatableModels()` method returns a Collection of all instantiatable Model-Classes, which are not Abstract. It returns the full qualified Class-Name as key with the according Short-Name as value. ``` ModelReflector::getAllInstantiatableModels(); // Returns all kinds of empty objects Illuminate\Support\Collection {#4929 all: [ "App\Models\User\Image" => App\Models\User\Image {#4928}, "App\Models\User" => App\Models\User {#4921}, ], } ``` ### getInstantiatableModelStructureInformation() [](#getinstantiatablemodelstructureinformation) The `getInstantiatableModelStructureInformation()` method returns a Collection of structure information for all instantiatable Model-Classes, which include the fully qualified name of the parent class and the child classes. ``` ModelReflector::getInstantiatableModelStructureInformation(); // Returns Illuminate\Support\Collection {#1469 all: [ "App\Models\User" => Illuminate\Support\Collection {#1482 all: [ "parentClass" => null, "childClasses" => [ "App\Models\User\Image", ], ], }, "App\Models\User\Image" => Illuminate\Support\Collection {#1483 all: [ "parentClass" => "App\Models\User", "childClasses" => [], ], } ], } ``` ### getClassFromMorphMap() [](#getclassfrommorphmap) The `getClassFromMorphMap()` method returns the class name from the Morph-Map alias (reverse lookup), the alias or null (if strict is true). ``` ModelReflector::getClassFromMorphMap('user'); // Returns 'App\Models\User' ``` ### getMorphAliasForClass() [](#getmorphaliasforclass) The `getMorphAliasForClass()` method returns the morph alias for the specified Model. ``` ModelReflector::getMorphAliasForClass('App\Models\User'); // Returns 'user' ``` ### modelHasTraits() [](#modelhastraits) The `modelHasTraits()` method validates if a Model implements one or more specific Traits. ``` ModelReflector::modelHasTraits(User::class, 'Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Concerns\HasAttributes'); // Returns true ``` ### Health Score 33 — LowBetter than 75% of packages Maintenance34 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity14 Limited adoption so far Community9 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity62 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 78.3% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
