**MagicModel**
==============

[](#magicmodel)

This Laravel package provides extended functions for Eloquent.

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

[](#installation)

### Laravel 4.2

[](#laravel-42)

1. Begin by installing this package through Composer. Edit your project's `composer.json` file to require `paulvl/magicmodel`.

    ```
     "require-dev": {
     	"paulvl/magicmodel": "dev-master"
     }

    ```

    > There is no support for Laravel 5.
2. Next, update Composer from the Terminal:

    ```
     composer update --dev

    ```
3. Once this operation completes, add the service provider. Open `app/config/app.php`, and add a new item to the providers array.

    ```
     'PaulVL\MagicModel\MagicModelServiceProvider'

    ```
4. And add a new item to the aliases array, on same `app/config/app.php` file.

    ```
     'MagicModel' => 'PaulVL\MagicModel\MagicModel'

    ```
5. Finally in order to use **MagicModel** properly you have to extend your **"Model"** from **MagicModel** instead of **Eloquent** like this for example:

    ```
