laragrad/eloquent-model-pg-casts

This package provides a trait \Laragrad\Models\Concerns\PgTypeCastable that adds into Eloquent\Model some PostgreSQL specific fields cast types.

Installing

Run command in console

composer require laragrad/eloquent-model-pg-casts

Added cast types

• pg_array - for any array fields
• pg_text_array - for text[] fields
• pg_uuid_array - for uuid[] fields
• pg_int_array - for int[] fields
• pg_numeric_array - for numeric[] fields

Using

For example, table test_groups has a field test_ids uuid[] and you have model for this table.

Add into model

• Use declaration for trait \Laragrad\Models\Concerns\PgTypeCastable
• Add cast type pg_uuid_array for attribute test_ids

class TestGroup extends Model 
{
    use \Laragrad\Models\Concerns\PgTypeCastable;

    protected $casts = [
    	'test_ids' => 'pg_uuid_array',
    ];
}

Code example

>>> $m = new App\TestGroup();
>>> $m->title = 'First group';
>>> $m->test_ids = ['00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001','00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000002'];
>>> $m->save();
>>> $m->refersh();
>>> $m
=> App\TestGroup {#3171
     id: 1,
     title: "First group",
     test_ids: "{00000000-0000-0000-0100-000000000001,00000000-0000-0000-0100-000000000002}",
   }
>>> $m->test_ids
=> [
     "00000000-0000-0000-0100-000000000001",
     "00000000-0000-0000-0100-000000000002",
   ]
>>> $m->toArray()
=> [
     "id" => 1,
     "title" => "First group",
     "test_ids" => [
       "00000000-0000-0000-0100-000000000001",
       "00000000-0000-0000-0100-000000000002",
