Alternatively, you can **spread the word in social media**. Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - PHP 8.3 or later - Laravel 12 or later. Installation ------------ [](#installation) Require this package into your project using Composer: ``` composer require laragear/meta ``` ### Package testers [](#package-testers) You may additionally install testing helpers for your package. These should be installed in your `require-dev` arm of your composer so these are not shipped in the production version of your package. ``` composer require --dev laragear/meta-testing ``` ### Discoverer [](#discoverer) The `Discover` class is a builder that allows discovering classes under a given path. It contains various fluent methods to filter the classes to discover, like methods, properties, interfaces and traits, among others. ``` composer require laragear/discover ``` Middleware declaration ---------------------- [](#middleware-declaration) When using `withMiddleware()` you will receive a `MiddlewareDeclaration` object with convenient methods to register the middleware globally or inside a group, set it as first/last in the global priority stack, and register an alias for it. ``` public function boot() { $declaration = $this->withMiddleware(OnlyAdults::class); // Make it a shared instance. $declaration->shared(); // Set an alias $declaration->as('adults'); // Puts it inside a middleware group. $declaration->inGroup('web'); // Sets the middleware in the global stack. $declaration->globally(); // Makes the middleware run first or last in the priority stack. $declaration->first(); $declaration->last(); } ``` Builder extender ---------------- [](#builder-extender) The `ExtendsBuilder` trait allows a [Global Scope](https://laravel.com/docs/eloquent#global-scopes) to extend the instance of the Eloquent Builder with new methods. Simply start your builder methods `extend`, no matter wich visibility scope or if the method is static or not. ``` use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Scope; use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Builder; use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model; use Laragear\Meta\Database\Eloquent\ExtendsBuilder; class Cars implements Scope { use ExtendsBuilder; public function apply(Builder $builder, Model $model) { // ... } private function extendWhereAvailable($builder) { return $builder->where('available_at', '>', now()); } protected static function extendWhereColor($builder, string $color) { return $builder->where('base_color', $color); } } ``` Tip If you need the model being queried, you can always use `getModel()` over the Eloquent Builder instance. Command Helpers --------------- [](#command-helpers) This meta-package includes the `WithEnvironmentFile` helper trait to modify the environment file keys and values. ``` use Illuminate\Console\Command; use Laragear\Meta\Console\Commands\WithEnvironmentFile; class AddServiceKey extends Command { use WithEnvironmentFile; public function handle() { // ... $this->putEnvKey('AWESOME_SERVICE', $this->argument('service_key')) } } ``` Attribute extractor ------------------- [](#attribute-extractor) The package contains the `Attr` helper that receives a target class, object, function, and allows to retrieve all or one attribute. Better yet, you can directly call a method or retrieve an attribute property. ``` use Laragear\Meta\Attr;use Vendor\Package\Attributes\MyCustomAttribute; #[MyCustomAttribute(color: 'blue')] class Car { // } $car = new Car; echo Attr::of($car)->get(MyCustomAttribute::class, 'color'); // "blue" ``` Laravel Octane compatibility ---------------------------- [](#laravel-octane-compatibility) - There are no singletons using a stale application instance. - There are no singletons using a stale config instance. - There are no singletons using a stale request instance. - `ExtendsBuilder` only initializes its static property once per Scope. There should be no problems using this package with Laravel Octane. Security -------- [](#security) If you discover any security related issues, please email instead of using the issue tracker.
