Installation

• Install the package via composer

composer require balajidharma/laravel-attributes

• Publish the migration with

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="BalajiDharma\LaravelAttributes\AttributesServiceProvider" --tag="migrations"

• Run the migration

php artisan migrate

• To Publish the config/attributes.php config file with

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="BalajiDharma\LaravelAttributes\AttributesServiceProvider" --tag="config"

• Preparing your model To associate views with a model, the model must implement the HasAttributes trait:

<?php
namespace BalajiDharma\LaravelForum\Models;

use BalajiDharma\LaravelAttributes\Traits\HasAttributable;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Thread extends Model
{
    use HasAttributable;
	

Save attribute

• Save single attibute

$thread->save();

$thread->attachAttribute('color', 'red');

• Save single attibute with data type

$thread->attachAttribute('color', 'red', 'string');

$thread->attachAttribute('price', '10', 'integer');

$thread->attachAttribute('is_active', '1', 'boolean');

default data type is string

• Save single attibute with weight

The weight used to sort the attributes

$thread->attachAttribute('color', 'red', 'string', 1);

$thread->attachAttribute('price', '10', 'integer', 2);

$thread->attachAttribute('is_active', '1', 'boolean', 3);

default weight value is 0

• Save multiple attibute

$data = [
    [
        'name' => 'color',
        'value' => 'red',
        'data_type' => 'string'
    ],
    [
        'name' => 'price',
        'value' => '10',
        'data_type' => 'interger'
    ],
    [
        'name' => 'is_active',
        'value' => '1',
        'data_type' => 'boolean'
    ],
]

$thread->attachAttributes($data);

weight will be added based on array index

Get Attributes

• Get attributes with query

$thread = Thread::query()->with('attributes')->get();

$thread->attributes;

• Check attribute value is exists

if ($thread->hasAttributeValue('red')) {
    return 'attribute value';
}

return 'no attribute value';

• Check attribute name is exists

if ($thread->hasAttributName('color')) {
    return 'attribute name';
}

return 'no attribute name';

• Check attribute data type is exists

if ($thread->hasAttributDataType('json')) {
    return 'attribute data type';
}

return 'no attribute data type';

Getting Attribute Casting Values

You can get the casting value in data attribute

// Fetch threads with their related attributes
$thread = Thread::query()->with('attributes')->get();

// Access attribute data
foreach ($thread->attributes as $attribute) {
    echo $attribute->data;
}

Delete Attributes

• Delete all attributes

$thread->deleteAllAttribute();

• Delete attribute by name and value

$thread->deleteAttribute('color', 'red');

• Delete attribute by name

$thread->deleteAttributeByName('color');

• Delete attribute by value

$thread->deleteAttributeByValue('red');

• Delete attribute by data type

$thread->deleteAttributeByDataType('string');
