Laravel extended cast model
===========================

[](#laravel-extended-cast-model)

This library help you to make more advanced cast to eloquent model.

Compatible with laravel 5.4 and upper.

Tested with laravel 5.4, 5.5, 5.6 and 5.7.

Install
-------

[](#install)

```
composer require grummfy/eloquent-extended-cast-model

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Using the trait to facilitate the usage of custom cast on model. There is two traits:

- CastableModel: allow you to use custom cast
- JsonCollectionCastable: allow you to use json collection on cast

See [example](example) directory for a possible usage.

### Custom casting in your model

[](#custom-casting-in-your-model)

- add the trait `CastableModel`
- in the $cast property of the model, add your field and the custom cast `'fooField' => 'bar'`
- add two methods: `toBar` and `fromBar` (Bar is the same name as the one present in the $cast property)

If you want to add some extra value to your cast method (like it's done in the JsonReadOnlyCollection), you can fill the property `$castParameters` of your model: `'fooField' => ['argument1', 'argument2']`.

### Cast JsonReadOnlyCollection

[](#cast-jsonreadonlycollection)

This library came with a json collection. It's a collection of value that are saved in json. It's nice to use with a collection of value object.
