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:
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. You can look here for more information.

  • 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.

Automatically convert Eloquent model boolean fields to dates (and back to booleans) so you always know when something was accepted or changed.

Say you've got a registration page for users where they need to accept your terms and perhaps can opt-in to certain features using checkboxes. With the new(-ish) GDPR privacy laws, you're somewhat required to not just keep track of the fact if they accepted those (or not), but also when they did.

Example

User registration controller:

Anywhere else in your code:

Requirements

How to install

Add the package to your project using composer:

Set up your Eloquent model by:

  1. Adding your datetime columns to the $casts property or casts() method
  2. Adding the boolean attributes to $appends
  3. Creating attribute accessors and mutators for each field

Optionally, if your database table hasn't got the datetime columns yet, create a migration to create a new table or alter your existing table to add the timestamp fields:

How to use

Saving dates

If a boolean date field's value is true-ish, it'll be automatically converted to the current datetime. You can use anything like booleans, strings, positive integers, and so on.

All fields should now contain a datetime similar to 2018-05-10 16:24:22.

Note that the date stored in the database column is immutable, i.e. it's only set once. Any following updates will not change the stored date(time), unless you update the date column manually or if you set it to false and back to true (disabling, then enabling it).

For example:

Clearing saved values

Of course you can also remove the saved date and time, for instance if a user retracts their approval:

False or false-y values are converted to NULL.

Retrieving values

Retrieving fields as booleans

Use a boolean field's defined key to access its boolean value:

Retrieving fields as datetimes

Use a boolean field's defined value to explicitly access its (Carbon) datetime value:

Array conversion

When converting a model to an array, the boolean fields will be included if you've added them to the $appends array in your model.
