Usage

Using the trait to facilitate the usage of custom cast on model. There is two traits: * CastableModel: allow you to use custom cast * JsonCollectionCastable: allow you to use json collection on cast, _(*4)

See example directory for a possible usage., _(*5)

Custom casting in your model

• add the trait CastableModel
• in the $cast property of the model, add your field and the custom cast 'fooField' => 'bar'
• add two methods: toBar and fromBar (Bar is the same name as the one present in the $cast property)

If you want to add some extra value to your cast method (like it's done in the JsonReadOnlyCollection), you can fill the property $castParameters of your model: 'fooField' => ['argument1', 'argument2']., _(*6)

Cast JsonReadOnlyCollection

This library came with a json collection. It's a collection of value that are saved in json. It's nice to use with a collection of value object., _(*7)
