Laravel Lift Laravel Package

wendelladriel/laravel-lift

Experimental Laravel package that supercharges Eloquent models with typed public properties matching your schema, powered by PHP 8 attributes. Add validation rules and other metadata directly on models and access them via handy methods, using Eloquent events for easy drop-in use.

Column

The Column attribute allows you to customize the column name of your model's public properties. In the example below the product_name property will be mapped to the name column on the database table:

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use WendellAdriel\Lift\Attributes\Column;
use WendellAdriel\Lift\Attributes\Fillable;
use WendellAdriel\Lift\Attributes\PrimaryKey;
use WendellAdriel\Lift\Attributes\Rules;
use WendellAdriel\Lift\Lift;

final class Product extends Model
{
    use Lift;

    #[PrimaryKey]
    public int $id;

    #[Rules(['required', 'string'], ['required' => 'The Product name can not be empty'])]
    #[Fillable]
    #[Column('name')]
    public string $product_name;
}

You can also set a default value for your public properties using the Column attribute. In the example below the price property will be mapped to the price column on the database table and will have a default value of 0.0:

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use WendellAdriel\Lift\Attributes\Cast;
use WendellAdriel\Lift\Attributes\Column;
use WendellAdriel\Lift\Attributes\Fillable;
use WendellAdriel\Lift\Attributes\PrimaryKey;
use WendellAdriel\Lift\Attributes\Rules;
use WendellAdriel\Lift\Lift;

final class Product extends Model
{
    use Lift;

    #[PrimaryKey]
    public int $id;

    #[Rules(['required', 'string'], ['required' => 'The Product name can not be empty'])]
    #[Fillable]
    #[Column('name')]
    public string $product_name;
    
    #[Column(default: 0.0)]
    #[Cast('float')]
    public float $price;
}

You can also set a default value for your public properties by passing a function name as the default value:

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use WendellAdriel\Lift\Attributes\Cast;
use WendellAdriel\Lift\Attributes\Column;
use WendellAdriel\Lift\Attributes\Fillable;
use WendellAdriel\Lift\Attributes\PrimaryKey;
use WendellAdriel\Lift\Attributes\Rules;
use WendellAdriel\Lift\Lift;

final class Product extends Model
{
    use Lift;

    #[PrimaryKey]
    public int $id;

    #[Rules(['required', 'string'], ['required' => 'The Product name can not be empty'])]
    #[Fillable]
    #[Column('name')]
    public string $product_name;
    
    #[Column(default: 0.0)]
    #[Cast('float')]
    public float $price;
    
    #[Column(default: 'generatePromotionalPrice')]
    #[Cast('float')]
    public float $promotional_price;
    
    public function generatePromotionalPrice(): float
    {
        return $this->price * 0.8;
    }
}
