Laratraits

Laratraits is a Laravel package containing useful traits and some classes to use along your Models, Controllers, Service Providers and what not. Take a look!

Requirements

• Laravel 8.0.
• PHP 7.4, PHP 8.0 or later.

Installation

Fire up Composer and that's it.

composer require darkghosthunter/laratraits

This package doesn't use any Service Provider.

Usage

Just check any of these traits. Each one and other classes contains a brief explanation on how to use in the first lines.

If you want to use one, just do it.

<?php

namespace App;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use DarkGhostHunter\Laratraits\SavesToCache;
use DarkGhostHunter\Laratraits\Eloquent\UsesUuid;

class Post extends Model
{
    use UsesUuid;
    use SavesToCache;
    
    // ...
}

What it includes

Before installing, take a look into the list. If you're only using one, just copy and paste it in your project, no problem, as each trait and file includes a copy of the MIT License.

Just remember to change the namespace if you're copy-pasting them!

Traits for everything

• Comparable: Allows a class or its properties to be compared to a list of values.
• ConditionCalls: Allows an object instance to execute when and unless logic.
• EnumerableStates: Allows a class instance to have a single allowed state.
• FiresItself: Allows an Event to be fired conveniently.
• Multitaps: Makes all class methods chainable, like using tap() but forever. You can exit the tap using ->target or a method name appended with AndUntap.
• PipesThrough: Allows a class to be piped through a pipeline immediately or to a queue.
• RegeneratesCache: Stores a copy of an object (or part of it) avoiding data-races among other processes.
• RendersFromMarkdown: Takes a given class property to parse Markdown text and return HTML. Compatible with Htmlable interface.
• SavesToCache: Saves the object (or part of it) to the cache.
• SavesToSession: Saves the object (or part of it) to the session.
• SavesToStorage: Saves the object (or part of it) to the storage.
• SecurelyJsonable: Adds a signature to the Jsonable object that is checked to at unserialization to avoid tampering.
• SendsToHttp: Sends the object (or part of it) through an HTTP Request.
• ShadowCall: Allows the next method to be called depending on a condition.
• ThrottleMethods: Throttles a given method in a class transparently.
• Throws: Allows a Throwable to throw itself if a given condition is truthy or falsy.
• ValidatesItself: Validates an incoming data using self-contained rules.

Useful classes

• Enumerable: Lists and controls a state from a list. Useful for casting enums.

Models

• ConditionFill: Fills an attribute if a given condition is truthy or falsy.
• DefaultColumns: Adds a DefaultColumns Global Scope to the Model selecting only given default columns, unless overrun manually in the query.
• FillsAttributes: Automatically fills the Model with values by each method name, like fillFooAttribute().
• FromRequest: One-liners to make, create, or update models from the HTTP Request.
• HasSlug: Allows a Model to be bound to routes using the slug like this-is-the-model. Must use an exclusive slug column in the model table.
• ModelType: Useful for Models that share a single table but have different "types", like Publications: Article, Post, Note, etc.
• NeighbourRecords: Allows to easily get a complete "next" and "previous" record from a given model, without using pagination.
• UsesUuid: Automatically fills the UUID on the Model. Comes with an optional Eloquent Query Builder local scopes. You can override the UUID generation.

Casts

• CastEnumerable: Allows an Enumerable to be saved as an integer o string, and retrieved back to an Enumerable instance.
• CastsRepository: Allows a Config Repository string to be saved a JSON, and retrieved back as Config Repository.
• CastsBase64: Allows a binary value to be saved as BASE64 in the database, and retrieved back as binary.

Global Scopes

• MacrosEloquent: Automatically adds selective Macros to the Eloquent Builder instance itself, instead of globally, when using a Global Scope. Append macro to a public static method and that's it, done.

Middleware

• CacheStaticResponse: Caches static responses, avoiding running the controller logic, for a given time.
• ShareAuthenticatedUser: Shares the authenticated user across all views.
• ValidateConsumableSignature: Makes signed routes work only one time, except on client or server errors.

Blade

• RegistersFileDirective: Easily register a directive using a PHP file contents.

Migrations:

• PublishesMigrations: Allows a package to register migrations automatically as publishable assets.

Missing a trait?

You can make an issue with your proposal. Consider the logic must be contained inside a trait, or use an auxiliar class to avoid polluting the class with multiple methods. PRs are preferred with tests.
