Laravel Overflow

The Laravel Overflow package will allow adding an overflow column to a form request easily. Use this package to make it easy to store overflow request values in a JSON or Text column on a database table:)

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require craftlogan/laravel-overflow

Usage

Create Model

You should create a model which will use the overflow method.

php artisan make:model TestModel -m

-m option generates database migration with the model.

   <?php
   
   namespace App;
   
   use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
   
   class TestModel extends Model
   {
     
       protected $guarded = [];   // you should use either $fillable or $guarded
   }

Edit Migration

When setting up a migration you can use a json column or a text column:

    public function up()
    {
        Schema::create('test_models', function (Blueprint $table){
            $table->increments('id');
            $table->string('name');
            //$table->text('properties');  // Use this column type if you are using sqlite or a mysql version less than 5.7
            //$table->json('properties');  // If your database supports json then I would recommend using the json column
            $table->timestamps();
        });
    }

After setting up fields you should migrate your table.

php artisan migrate

Available Macros

There are allWithOverflow and overflow macros.You can payload Model and Overflow Field for each macros.

allWithOverflow

This macro returns all fields of model as an array

    $request->allWithOverflow(Model_Name,Overflow_Field)
    
    //Returns

    [
        "properties" => "{"key1":"key1_value","key2":"key2_value"}",
        "name" => "overflow"
    ]

overflow

This macro returns only Overflow Field as a json object

    $request->overflow(Model_Name,Overflow_Field)

    //Returns

    "{"key1":"key1_value","key2":"key2_value"}"

Insert record via create method

You can use Illuminate\Http\Request for retrieving Http Requests.

public function store(Request $request)
{
    $testmodel = TestModel::create($request->allWithOverflow(new TestModel(),'properties'));
}

Also, you can use your custom Form Request.

public function store(\App\Http\Requests\TestFormRequest $request)
{
    $testmodel = TestModel::create($request->allWithOverflow(new TestModel(),'properties'));
}

Insert record via save method

Using with the object Attributes:

    public function store(Request $request)
    {
        $testmodel = new TestModel();
        $testmodel->name = $request->name;
        $testmodel->properties = $request->overflow(new TestModel(),'properties');
        $testmodel->save();
    }
