Eloquent

Model class to extends for Models

Base Model class offers:

• runtime easy caching
  $model = MyModel::cacheGet('myCacheKey');
MyModel::cacheSet('myCacheKey', $model);
• retrieve and cache
  $model = MyModel::find_and_remember(1);
• retrieve and cache as
  MyModel::find_and_remember_as(1, 'myCacheKey');
• retrieve if not available and cache
  $model = MyModel::find_or_recall(1);
• custom builder to retrieve and cache
  MyModel::where(...)->get_and_remember_as('All_models_with_that_property');
MyModel::where(...)->first_and_remember_as('One_model_with_that_property');
MyModel::where(...)->first_and_remember();

Collection as results of queries on a Model return an instance of khwadj\Eloquent\Collection that is indexed by primary key

$models = MyModel::all();
// get the model with primary key = 1
$model_one = $models->get(1);

// check and retrieve from relationships
if ( $model_one->relation_many->has(555) ) {
    $related_model = $model_one->relation_many->get(555);
}

since 0.3.0 : retrieve from eager-loaded relationships

$models    = MyModel::with('relationship_many')->get();
$model_one = $models->get(1);
// check and retrieve from eager-loaded relationships
if ( $model_one->relation_many->has(555) ) {
    $related_model = $model_one->relation_many->get(555);
}

Note: PK is determined by $model->getKey() which will be empty if your model doesn't use an auto-incremented PK. You can update this function to return any unique stringable value representing your model.

View Service Provider

Simply redeclares gatherData() function to upgrade performances. In return, Renderable arguments cannot be passed to a view.

In config > app.php

'providers' => [
        ...
        // Illuminate\View\ViewServiceProvider::class,
        \Khwadj\View\ViewServiceProvider::class,
        ...
