Laravel Model Status

A very simple yet very integrated Laravel status package (now using native enums, no database required)

Getting started

composer require open-southeners/laravel-model-status

Create status enum

Imaging you've a Post model, you should then create an enum like PostStatus that might look like this one:

use OpenSoutheners\LaravelModelStatus\ModelStatus;

enum PostStatus: int implements ModelStatus
{
    case Draft = 1;

    case Published = 2;

    case Hidden = 3;
}

Now remember to import ModelStatus interface and use it in the enum.

Setup your model

Adding 3 things: The ModelStatuses PHP attribute, implementing Statusable interface to your class and using HasStatuses trait.

use OpenSoutheners\LaravelModelStatus\Attributes\ModelStatuses;
use OpenSoutheners\LaravelModelStatus\HasStatuses;
use OpenSoutheners\LaravelModelStatus\Statusable;

// Remember to replace PostStatus::class with whatever the enum you are using
// Also second option is a boolean that enable/disable events
#[ModelStatuses(PostStatus::class, true)]
class Post extends Model implements Statusable
{
    use HasStatuses;
}

Available methods

setStatus

$post = new Post();

// Set status to post instance
$post->setStatus(PostStatus::Published);

// Set status to post instance and persist to DB
$post->setStatus(PostStatus::Published, true);

setStatusWhen

// Set status to post instance only when current status is "Draft"
$post->setStatusWhen(PostStatus::Draft, PostStatus::Published);

// Set status to post instance and persist to DB only when current status is "Draft"
$post->setStatusWhen(PostStatus::Draft, PostStatus::Published, true);

hasStatus

// Check current status is "Published"
$post->hasStatus(PostStatus::Published);

// Check current status is "Published" as string (type sensitive)
$post->hasStatus('Published');

withoutStatusEvents

// Whenever you save the model updates and don't want to trigger events
Post::withoutStatusEvents(fn () => $post->setStatus(PostStatus::Published));

Model events

Right now this package offers a OpenSoutheners\LaravelModelStatus\Events\StatusSwapped event that you can use to get changes performed with setStatusWhen method.
