The Laravel Model Metadata package is designed to manage metadata in your Eloquent models with JSON support for multiple data types. With this package, you can easily attach, manage, and query your metadata:
use Waad\Metadata\Traits\HasManyMetadata;
class Post extends Model
{
use HasManyMetadata;
}
$post->createMetadata(['key' => 'value', 'another_key' => 'another_value']);
$post->updateMetadata('metadata_id', ['new_key' => 'new_value']);
$post->deleteMetadata('metadata_id');
This package also has convenience methods to retrieve metadata, whether your Model has one record or can have many metadata records:
// Operations for models with "has many" metadata
$metadata = $post->getMetadataById('metadata_id');
$allMetadata = $post->getMetadata();
$metadataCollection = $post->getMetadataCollection();
$searchResults = $post->searchMetadata('search_term');
// Operations for models with "has one" metadata
$metadata = $company->getMetadata();
$metadataCollection = $company->getMetadataCollection();
Main Features
- Allow one model to have many metadata records
- Allow one model to have one metadata record
- Create, update, delete, and search metadata
- JSON casting using the package's built-in trait
- A polymorphic table design to attach metadata to any model
