Update
======

[](#update)

Currently, laravel has a model cast called "encrypted". Just use the cast, its easier and most efficient.

e.g:

```
//YourModel.php
protected $casts = [
'your_encrypted_field' => 'encrypted',
];
```

Laravel Encrypt Database
========================

[](#laravel-encrypt-database)

Automatic Encrypt and Decrypt your database data. Tested and used on Laravel 8.

Important
---------

[](#important)

- Note the key used to encrypt your data is your `app_key`, so keep it in a secure place.
- If you lose it, you will lose all your database data.

- The $casts attribute is not available for encrypted fields yet.

- It is highly recommended to alter your encrypted column types to `TEXT` or `LONGTEXT`

Features
--------

[](#features)

- Minimal configuration
- Encrypt and Decrypt database fields easily
- Include searching encrypted data using the following: whereEncrypted and orWhereEncrypted
- Include unique\_encrypted, exists\_encrypted rules
- Uses openssl for encrypting and decrypting fields

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

[](#requirements)

Laravel >= 8.0
PHP >= 7.4

Installing
----------

[](#installing)

Install the package

```
composer require wellingtoncarneirobarbosa/laravel-encrypt-database

```

Add the service provider on your providers list config/app.php:168

```
WellingtonCarneiroBarbosa\EncryptDatabase\Providers\EncryptDatabaseProvider::class,

```

Publish the config file

```
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=laravel-database-encryption

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Just use the trait on yours encryptables models and list the encryptable fields.

```
use WellingtonCarneiroBarbosa\EncryptDatabase\Traits\EncryptableModel;

class User extends Authenticable
{
    Use HasFactory,
        EncryptableModel;

    /**
    * The attributes that should be encrypted.
    *
    * @var array
    */
    protected $encryptable = [
        'name',
        'email',
        'birth_date',
    ];
}

```

Note if you have a mutator on your model like "setNameAttribute" you should implement manually the encrypt method ```
public function setNameAttribute(string $value)
{
  $value = ucwords($value);

  $this->attributes['name'] = $this->encrypt('name', $value);
}

```

You also should implement manually decrypt method if you have an acessor method ```
public function getNameAttribute()
{
  $decrypted = $this->decrypt('name', $this->attributes['name']);

  $value = strtolower($decrypted);

  return $value;
}

```

If you are validating your form data with `unique` or `exists` you should replace it to `unique_encrypted` and `exists_encrypted` respectively
