FAQ
After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.
Example:
Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.

Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories.
In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages.
Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository.

- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

Informations about the package laravel-model-data
Laravel Model Data
Serialize arbitrary attributes that don’t have dedicated columns into a JSON data field stored in a polymorphic model_datas table.
This package allows you to:
- Store flexible, schema-less data per model
- Access virtual attributes like native Eloquent properties
- Keep your core tables clean while supporting dynamic fields
- Use deterministic 32-character keys for efficient indexing
✨ Features
- Transparent virtual attributes ($model->color)
- External storage via polymorphic model_datas table
- Deterministic 32-char hashed keys (md5)
- Supports multiple data namespaces via data_type
- Fully compatible with Eloquent casting
- Query support for JSON attributes
📦 Installation
Usage
1. Add the trait to your model
2. Virtual Attributes (Transparent Mode)
// Retrieve — fully transparent, works like regular attributes
3. Structured Data (Explicit Mode)
You can also store grouped data explicitly:
Retrieve
4. Check / Delete
5. Query Virtual Attributes
6. Casting Support
Works seamlessly with Laravel casts:
⚙️ How It Works
Storage Model
Each record in model_datas represents:
Example:
Data Structure
🧠 Design Modes
1. Transparent Mode (default)
- Works like native attributes
- Best for dynamic fields
2. Explicit Mode (recommended for structure)
- Namespaced data storage
- Better for large systems (ERP, SaaS)
🏗️ Advanced Usage
Multiple Data Types
Each stored separately but linked to the same model.
Access Nested Values
⚡ Performance Notes
- Primary key is fixed 32-char string
- Indexed for fast lookup
- No joins required for simple access
- JSON queries supported natively (MySQL / PostgreSQL)
⚠️ Best Practices
- Prefer explicit mode for complex systems
- Avoid overloading with deeply nested JSON
- Keep frequently queried fields as real columns
🧪 Testing
🔄 Migration Strategy (from inline JSON)
If you're migrating from a data column:
- Move JSON to model_datas
- Drop old column
- Add trait
- Done
