Models

Read the official Porto SAP Documentation (#Models).

Rules

• All Models MUST extend from App\Ship\Parents\Models\Model.
• If the name of a model differs from the Container name you have to set the $container attribute in the repository. More details can be found here.

Folder Structure

app
    Containers
        {container-name}
            Models
                User.php
                Person.php

Code Sample

<?php

namespace App\Containers\Demo\Models;

use App\Ship\Parents\Models\Model;

class Demo extends Model
{
    protected $table = 'demos';

    protected $fillable = [
        'label',
        'user_id'
    ];

    protected $hidden = [
        'token',
    ];

    protected $casts = [
        'total_credits'     => 'float',
    ];

    protected $dates = [
        'created_at',
        'updated_at',
    ];

    public function user()
    {
        return $this->belongsTo(\App\Containes\User\Models\User::class);
    }
}

Notice the Demo Model has a relationship with the User Model, which lives in another Container.

Casts

The $casts attribute can be used to cast any of the model’s attributes to a specific type when reading from and writing to the database. In the shown code sample the total_credits is casted to float.

More information about the available cast-types can be found in the Laravel eloquent-mutators documentation.

Date values can be defined within the $dates array to be automatically parsed to a Carbon class.
