Laravel Owner
=============

[](#laravel-owner)

A simple package that allows Eloquent models to "own" each other, or "be owned" by another model. Supports many to many relationships.

Examples could include:

1. a user owning a blog post
2. a user *and* a team owning multiple files
3. record being owned by many organisations

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

[](#installation)

Install using composer:

```
composer require inventive/laravel-owner=dev-master
```

Add the following to `config/app.php`:

```
Inventive\LaravelOwner\OwnerServiceProvider::class,
```

Publish the migrations and config files:

```
php artisan vendor:publish
```

Run the migrations:

```
php artisan migrate
```

### Add necessary traits your Eloquent models:

[](#add-necessary-traits-your-eloquent-models)

If the model can be an owner:

```
use Inventive\LaravelOwner\Traits\Owns;

class User extends Model
{
	use Owns;
}
```

If the model can be owned by another model:

```
use Inventive\LaravelOwner\Traits\HasOwner;

class Resource extends Model
{
	use HasOwner;
}
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### "Owner" model:

[](#owner-model)

Create an ownership:

```
$user->own($model);
```

Remove an ownership:

```
$user->disown($model);
```

Return a collection of *all* the models owned by the parent model:

```
$user->owns();
```

Does the user own this model?

```
$user->ownsModel($model);
```

Which models of this type does the parent model own? This method either takes a child model, or a name-spaced class name.

```
$user->ownsModelType($model); // Use a model
$user->ownsModelType(‘App\Resource’); // Use class name
```

### "Owned" model:

[](#owned-model)

Return a collection of all the model's owners:

```
$model->owners();
```

Is the model is owned by another model?

```
$model->isOwnedBy($owner);
```

Add an owner to the model:

```
$model->addOwner($owner);
```

Remove an owner from the model

```
$model->removeOwner($owner);
```
