LazyBelongsToMany
=================

[](#lazybelongstomany)

A lightweight implementation of Laravel's belongs To many relationship in cases you don't need pivot table.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

First, install the package through Composer.

```
composer require inani/lazy-belongs-to-many
```

### Usage

[](#usage)

Suppose we have the following database structure. A `User` can be linked to one or many `Tag`. instead of creating the pivot table we can save tags id list in a column on the user table.

```
| id | name              | tags_id       |
|----|-------------------|---------------|
| 1  | El Houssain inani | [1, 10, 4, 33]|

```

```
