[](#embed-relation-)

add a new relation is missing from [Laravel](https://laravel.com/)'s ORM. embedsMany extends [Eloquent](https://laravel.com/docs/master/eloquent) ORM .

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

[](#installation)

Either [PHP](https://php.net) 5.6+ is required.

To get the latest version of embedsMany, simply require the project using [Composer](https://getcomposer.org):

```
$ composer require tusimo/embed-relation
```

Instead, you may of course manually update your require block and run `composer update` if you so choose:

```
{
    "require": {
        "tusimo/embed-relation": "^0.1"
    }
}
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Within your eloquent model class add following line And when we have a json string column as data. We support virtual column and can use cast. And support some new cast, 'integer\_array', 'string\_array', 'float\_array', 'bool\_array'

```
class User extends Model {
    use \Tusimo\Eloquent\Traits\EmbedsRelation;
    use \Tusimo\Eloquent\Traits\CastAttributes;

    protected $virtualColumnMaps = [
        'data' => [
            'address' => 'home_address',//you can rename the column
            'follower_ids'
        ],
        //'more_json_data' => [],
    ];

    protected $casts = [
        'book_ids' => 'integer_array',
        'home_address' => 'string',
        'follower_ids' => 'integer_array',
    ];
    ...
}
```

Example:
--------

[](#example)

Consider User has several favorite books and the book\_ids just store in the user table as book\_ids column. We want this column can to load use relations. So we can do it like this. We have user table just like this.

iduser\_namebook\_idsdata1tusimo1,2,3{"address":"NY","follower\_ids":"1,3"}2john2,4,7{"address":"WD","follower\_ids":"3"}3aly5{"address":"LA","follower\_ids":"1,2"}and book table like this,

idbook1css2php3javascript4database5sql6python7html```
class User extends Model {
    use \Tusimo\Eloquent\Traits\EmbedsRelation;

    public function books () {
        return $this->embedsMany(Book::class);
    }
}
```

If we want to get the books so we can use`$user->books`. For now I just finished get relation data. Next I will do the save thing And the reverse relation.

Now we can access data like this .

```
    $user->home_address = 'HA';
    $user->follower_ids = [1,2,3,4];
    $user->save();
    foreach($user->follower_ids as $followerId) {//which now is array type
        echo $followerId;
    }
    if($user->isVirtualDirty('home_address')) {
        //detect virtual column is dirty or not
        dd($user->getVirtualDirty());
    }
```
