FAQ
Example:
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 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-record
Laravel Record
I'm going to assume you already know all about Laravel's awesome Collection class, and hopefully you've read Refactoring to Collections. (If you haven't, stop what you're doing and go buy that PDF. You'll thank me later.)
I also assume you know all about Eloquent models.
But have you ever wanted some of the functionality of a model, merged onto a collection?
This is a super small, single-class library that brings those together just a bit.
Benefits
Starting with the Collection class, I wanted to add:
1) Magic getter for attributes. If you have key/value pairs in your collection, the Collection class does provide
the get method. But I'm lazy. And I like accessing my collection
with plain 'ol object notation. You know, like a model. Record lets you do $collection->attribute.
2) New collection for sub-arrays. If you hand a multi-dimensional array to collect() and access a nested array, it's still
just an array. Like $collection->get('attribute')['subattribute']. I want collections all the way down! This will turn
any sub-array into a new instance of Record, allowing you to do $record->attribute->subattribute->as->deep->as->your->array->goes.
And because you still have a real collection at each level, you can use all of the goodies like $record->attribute->subattribute->count().
3) Custom accessors. Just like Eloquent, you can extend the Record class and define a custom accessor. Create a
getFooAttribute() method and then just use $collection->foo to get your custom computed attribute.
Quick example: handling rich arrays
I find myself frequently needing to handle a multi-dimensional array, often a response from a remote web service. This array may have attributes (like 'name' or 'id') as well as a nested collections (like 'data' or 'rows').
Consider this:
We can take this whole payload and navigate it quite nicely with Record:
Nice! At each level I get a combination Laravel's Collection class, plus some attribute goodness borrowed from Model.
Furthermore I might extend Record and create a class with custom accessors to sanitize content, or split the name into
first and last, or... you get the idea.
Installation
You know the drill.
Then you can either:
Or you can use the record helper method:
