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 compoships
Compoships
Compoships offers the ability to specify relationships based on two (or more) columns in Laravel's Eloquent ORM. The need to match multiple columns in the definition of an Eloquent relationship often arises when working with third party or pre existing schema/database.
The problem
Eloquent doesn't support composite keys. As a consequence, there is no way to define a relationship from one model to another by matching more than one column. Trying to use where clauses (like in the example below) won't work when eager loading the relationship because at the time the relationship is processed $this->team_id is null.

Installation
The recommended way to install Compoships is through Composer
Usage
Using the Awobaz\Compoships\Database\Eloquent\Model class
Simply make your model class derive from the Awobaz\Compoships\Database\Eloquent\Model base class. The Awobaz\Compoships\Database\Eloquent\Model extends the Eloquent base class without changing its core functionality.
Using the Awobaz\Compoships\Compoships trait
If for some reason you can't derive your models from Awobaz\Compoships\Database\Eloquent\Model, you may take advantage of the Awobaz\Compoships\Compoships trait. Simply use the trait in your models.
Note: To define a multi-columns relationship from a model A to another model B, both models must either extend Awobaz\Compoships\Database\Eloquent\Model or use the Awobaz\Compoships\Compoships trait
Syntax
... and now we can define a relationship from a model A to another model B by matching two or more columns (by passing an array of columns instead of a string).
We can use the same syntax to define the inverse of the relationship:
Factories
Chances are that you may need factories for your Compoships models. If so, you will probably need to use
Factory methods to create relationship models. For example, by using the ->has() method. Just use the
Awobaz\Compoships\Database\Eloquent\Factories\ComposhipsFactory trait in your factory classes to be able
to use relationships correctly.
Example
As an example, let's pretend we have a task list with categories, managed by several teams of users where:
- a task belongs to a category
- a task is assigned to a team
- a team has many users
- a user belongs to one team
- a user is responsible for one category of tasks
The user responsible for a particular task is the user currently in charge for the category inside the team.
Again, same syntax to define the inverse of the relationship:
Supported relationships
Compoships only supports the following Laravel's Eloquent relationships:
- hasOne
- HasMany
- belongsTo
Also please note that while nullable columns are supported by Compoships, relationships with only null values are not currently possible.
Support for nullable columns in 2.x
Version 2.x brings support for nullable columns. The results may now be different than on version 1.x when a column is null on a relationship, so we bumped the version to 2.x, as this might be a breaking change.
Disclaimer
Compoships doesn't bring support for composite keys in Laravel's Eloquent. This package only offers the ability to specify relationships based on more than one column. In a Laravel project, it's recommended for all models' tables to have a single primary key. But there are situations where you'll need to match many columns in the definition of a relationship even when your models' tables have a single primary key.
