README

Automatically fill the identifier of your model by adding the HasIdentifier trait.

Installation

Require the package

composer require brainstud/has-identifier

Usage

Add the HasIdentifier trait to your model.

/**
 * @property string $identifier
 */
class Item extends Model
{
    use HasIdentifier;
    
    protected $fillable = [
        'identifier'
    ];
}

The identifier will be filled on creation.

$model = Item::create();
echo $model->identifier;

Use a different identifier attribute

The trait will use the identifier property of your model to generate an identifier to. You can overwrite the property the trait uses by setting the identifierAttribute on your model.

/**
 * @property string $identifier
 */
class Item extends Model
{
    use HasIdentifier;
    
    protected string $identifierAttribute = 'uuid';
    
    protected $fillable = [
        'uuid'
    ];
}

Find by identifier

There are different ways to get the model by identifier.

// Find method
$model = Item::findByIdentifier($uuid);
$model = Item::findOrFailByIdentifier($uuid);

// Scope
$model = Item::identifiedBy($uuid)->first();

Test

You can run the tests with

composer test
