Fluents
=======

[](#fluents)

Laravel extension to convert to/from Fluent objects.

Rationale
---------

[](#rationale)

The Laravel Fluent object is one of the most under-rated and under-utilized components of the framework. Essentially a free-standing object, it allows you to access an array of attributes as an object rather than as an array.

example:

Instead of using an array like this:

```
$myArray = [];
$myArray['first'] = 'one';
$myArray['second'] = 'two;

echo $myArray['first']; // prints "one"
```

Use fluent object like this:

```
$myObject = new Fluent();
$myObject->first = 'one';
$myObject->second = 'two';

echo $myObject->first; // prints "one"
```

Until now, however, there has been no standard straightforwards way to convert an Eloquent Model object into a Fluent object. There is a toArray() function on a Model object but no equivalent toFluent() function.

This component adds such functions using a trait that can be applied to any model object. Note that several other of Laravel's internal classes can also have this trait applied, as long as they store their data in an internal `attributes` array this trait should work.

Usage
