Save metadata (key, value) with any model.

---

Sometimes, we may need to store few extra information for some objects. In some situation, it's not good solution to add new columns. This package can solve those issues.

The package will create a table in database named `laravel_metas` with key, value and metable column. However, table name can be changed by updating table\_name in `config/meta.php`. N.B: After changing table\_name, you need to delete the previous table (if exists) from DB and delete the `create_meta_table` row from `migrations` table. Then re-run the `php artisan migrate` command again.

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

[](#installation)

You can install the package via composer:

```
composer require miladev/lara-meta
```

If you are using Laravel Package Auto-Discovery, you don't need you to manually add the ServiceProvider.

#### Without auto-discovery:

[](#without-auto-discovery)

If you don't use auto-discovery, add the below ServiceProvider to the `$providers` array in `config/app.php` file.

```
Miladev\LaravelMeta\MetaServiceProvider::class,
```

If you want to change the meta table name, then first publish the config file.

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Miladev\LaravelMeta\MetaServiceProvider"
```

Then, update the `table_name` value in `config/meta.php`.

Then you can run migration command to create database table.

```
php artisan migrate
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Add `Miladev\LaravelMeta\Metable` trait to models where you need.

```
use \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use \Miladev\LaravelMeta\Metable;

class Post extends Model
{
    use Metable;
}
```

Then you can access like below:

```
$post = Post::withMetas()->first();
```

```
$post = Post::first();
$post->metas;
```

```
$post = Post::first();
$post->saveMeta('meta_key_here', 'value_here');
$post->getMeta('meta_key_here', 'default_value');
$post->updateMeta('meta_key_here', 'value_here_new');
$post->deleteMeta('meta_key_here');
$post->findMeta('value_here');
```
