====================================

[](#johnwhitleyseparateeloquentconcerns)

> Automate Eloquent models to have a defined separate builder and collection per model.

Eloquent allows both set and individual entity methods to be defined on the model class: this is good for small projects and good to get started using Eloquent.

There are times when a model grows to an extent where separating the set (scope prefixed) function from the individual's functions (relationships, accessors, mutators, etc.) help the model stay a more manageable size. There are a number of possible solutions that would solve this; this project advocates putting what would normally be a "scope" prefixed function into a custom builder class - one custom builder per model.

This project assumes a strict namespace for models, collections and builders, so that where the model is in a directory "Model", the collection is in a sibling directory "Collection", and the eloquent builder in another directory "Builder".

Installing
----------

[](#installing)

```
composer require johnwhitley/separateeloquentconcerns
```

Using
-----

[](#using)

There are two options when using this model extention: to enforce the existance of the custom builder or collection; or to gracefully fall back to the default builder or collection.

To force the existance of a custom builder and a custom collection, add these traits to your model:

```
  use \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\SeparateConcernsTrait, \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\EnforcedSeparateBuilderTrait, \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\EnforcedSeparateCollectionTrait;
```

To allow the existance of a custom builder and a custom collection, but fall back to the default builder or collection should they be absent; add these traits to your model:

```
  use \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\SeparateConcernsTrait, \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\OptionalSeparateBuilderTrait, \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\OptionalSeparateCollectionTrait;
```

You may choose to use optional collection and enforced builder; or vise versa.
