Add meta attributes to Eloquent models

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

[](#installation)

You can install the package via composer:

```
composer require nncodes/laravel-meta-attributes
```

You need to publish and run the migration:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Nncodes\MetaAttributes\MetaAttributesServiceProvider" --tag="migrations"
php artisan migrate
```

Preparing your model
--------------------

[](#preparing-your-model)

To associate meta attributes with a model, the model must implement the following interface and trait:

```
namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Nncodes\MetaAttributes\Concerns\HasMetaAttributes;

class YourModel extends Model
{
    use HasMetaAttributes;
}
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

You can set meta attributes to your model like this:

```
$yourModel = YourModel::find(1);

/**
 * Store the meta value using type auto discover
 *
 * @note types: boolean, integer, double, string,
 * object, array, collection, date, datetime.
*/

$yourModel->setMeta($key)->value($value);

//For all other types you can specify using casting methods.

$yourModel->setMeta('departament')->asString('IT');

$yourModel->setMeta('salaryInteger')->asInteger(1489);

$yourModel->setMeta('salaryFloat')->asFloat(1489.909);

$yourModel->setMeta('salaryDecimal')->asDecimal(1489.9, $digitgs = 2);

$yourModel->setMeta('salaryDouble')->asDouble(1489.90);

$yourModel->setMeta('salaryPerSecond')->asReal(0.00001);

$yourModel->setMeta('favoriteColors')->asArray([
    'red', 'blue', 'yellow', 'white'
]);

$yourModel->setMeta('tastes')->asCollection([
	['name' => 'Coffee', 'type' => 'Beverage', 'rate' => 9],
  	['name' => 'Rice', 'type' => 'Food', 'rate' => 7],
]);

$yourModel->setMeta('skills')->asObject([
    'PHP' => 'Very Good',
    'Laravel' => 'Very Good',
    'MySQL' => 'Good'
]);

$yourModel->setMeta('isAdult')->asBoolean(true);

$yourModel->setMeta('nid')->asEncrypted('FL-104050');

$yourModel->setMeta('birthdate')->asDate(
    '1991-01-29',
    $format = 'Y-m-d H:i:s'
);

$yourModel->setMeta('lastLoginAt')->asDatetime(
    '2020-01-01 10:10:10',
    $format = 'Y-m-d H:i:s'
);

$yourModel->setMeta('createdAt')->asTimestamp($timestamp = time());
```

And your can get a meta attribute from your model:

```
$yourModel->getMeta($key); //Eloquent object
$yourModel->getMetaValue($key, $fallback = null); //Only the value
```

To get the collection of meta attributes from your from:

```
$yourModel->getMetas();
```

Or you can access all meta attributes as an object:

```
$yourModel->meta->birthdate;
$yourModel->meta->createdAt;
```

You can also check if the model already has a meta attribute:

```
$yourModel->hasMeta($key);
```

If you need to delete the meta attribute, it is simple:

```
$yourModel->forgeMeta($key);
```
