Laravel Db Encrypter Package
============================

[](#laravel-db-encrypter-package)

This package was created to encrypt and decrypt values of Eloquent model attributes.

Key features
------------

[](#key-features)

- Encrypt, decrypt values stored in database fields
- Using standard Laravel's Crypt service
- Easy configuration

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- Laravel: 6.0 and up
- PHP: 7.1 and newer

#### Database schema

[](#database-schema)

Encrypted values are stored as plain text so in most cases takes up more spaces then unencrypted one. Recommendation is to alter table column to `TEXT` type. If you want use `VARCHAR` or `CHAR` column type still you need to check if encrypted value fit.

#### Note:

[](#note)

Do not worry if you have current data in your database not encrypted and added column to `$encryptable` - they will return as is.
On save values will be encrypted and everything will work fine.

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

[](#installation)

Via Composer command line:

```
$ composer require rahulshibu/laravel-model-encrypter
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

1. Use the `LaravelModelEncrypter\Traits\DBEncryptor` trait in any Eloquent model that you wish to use encryption
2. Define a `protected $encryptable` array containing a list of the encrypted attributes.
3. Define the encryption key in .env file. Default encrption key will be empty.

For example:

Model

```

    use LaravelModelEncrypter\Traits\DBEncryptor;

    class Client extends Eloquent {
        use DBEncryptor;

        /** @var array The attributes that should be encrypted/decrypted */
        protected $encryptable = [
            'id_number',
            'email',
        ];
    }
```

ENV

```
ENCRYPT_KEY=abcd1234
```

3. You can use Laravel's original $casts to cast decrypted values
