Add additional columns (meta boxes) to EloquentModel without add columns to the migration file

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

[](#installation)

Via Composer

```
$ composer require lao9s/modelmetabox
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Use the ModelMetaBox trait on the model you intend to track

```
use lao9s\ModelMetaBox\Traits\ModelMetaBoxTrait;

class Article extends Model
{
    use ModelMetaBoxTrait;

    ...
}

```

Publish config file.

```
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=ModelMetaBoxConfig

```

Migrate

```
php artisan migrate

```

Change config file:

```
   // Override the delete method in the model to delete meta boxes before the model is deleted.
   'override_the_delete_method' => true,

```

Here are some code examples:

```
// Add/Update meta box to the article
$article->addMetaBox('author', 'Dima Botezatu');

// Support array data. Object or array data will be automatically converted to json.
// If you have another type of data, you can manually convert it into json by adding the third true parameter
$article->addMetaBox('images', ['image1.jpg', 'image2.jpg', 'image3.jpg']);

// Get meta box by specific key. $withValue parameter will return only value not the model object
$article->getMetaBox('author', $withValue = false)

// Also the meta box model have any methods: getValue, getKey or isJson
// Working only if you get metabox object model
$author = $article->getMetaBox('author')
$author->getValue();
$author->getKey();
$author->isJson();

// Get all meta boxes. $withValue parameter will return only values not the models object
$article->getAllMetaBoxes($withValue = false)

// Remove meta box
$article->removeMetaBox('author');

// Remove all meta boxes
$article->removeAllMetaBoxes();

```
