laravel-trait-pack
==================

[](#laravel-trait-pack)

A basic collection of some useful traits for Laravel 5.

Overview
--------

[](#overview)

Most traits are configurable, and have standardized on a way of storing these config parameters without polluting the property names within the using class.

Trait config parameters are stored in a `$traitConfigs` static property. This is an associative array, where keys are defined by the trait. The ones in this pack use the fully qualified name of the trait, but that is not enforced.

For example,

```
    $traitConfig = [
        'SilvertipSoftware\LaravelTraitPack\HasActiveState' => [ 'field' => 'flag' ]
    ];
```

HasActiveState
--------------

[](#hasactivestate)

Adds an `isActive` method and a scope to a Laravel `Model`. The underlying field name is configurable, and defaults to `active`.

### Example Config

[](#example-config)

```
    $traitConfig = [
        'SilvertipSoftware\LaravelTraitPack\HasActiveState' => [ 'field' => 'flag' ]
    ];
```

UsesAlternateConnection
-----------------------

[](#usesalternateconnection)

Allows configurable connection names per class, or class hierarchies. Particularly useful for libraries. The connection name can either be defined directly on the class using:

```
    $traitConfig = [
        'SilvertipSoftware\LaravelTraitPack\UsesAlternateConnection' => [ 'connection' => 'other_db' ]
    ]
```

or within a config file, under the `database.alternateConnections` tag.

```
    'alternateConnections' => [
        'FullyQualifiedClassname' => 'other_db',
        'AnotherClassName' => 'some_other_connection'
    ]

```

Classnames are searched up the hierarchy, so just the base class name can be specified in the config file. Defaults to `null`, or the default connection name.

ValidatesTrait
--------------

[](#validatestrait)

Adds an `isValid` method to a model, with a configurable set of rules. Rules are specifed with the `rules` trait config parameter. Additional rules can be specified with the `creation_rules` parameter.

### Example

[](#example)

```
    $traitConfigs = [
        'SilvertipSoftware\LaravelTraitPack\ValidatesTrait' => [
            'rules' => [
                'name' => [ 'required', 'string', 'max:20' ],
                'age' => [ 'required', 'numeric', 'min:18' ]
            ],
            'creation_rules' => [
                'password' => [ 'required', 'string' ],
                'password_confirm' => [ 'required', 'string' ]
            ]
        ]
    ]
```

The `$model->errors` message bag is set with any validation errors.
