pionl/laravel-config-class-gate

Enables loading classes (or objects) via config files in Laravel

Class gateway from the laravel config

You can provide overriding of your classes via config file (a list of classes defined by config key - like custom Eloquent model). With this you can work with expected model but add a posibility to allow extending of your base classes., _(*1)

In default tries to load classes from the classes.php config file., _(*2)

Example

Example config (classes.php in config folder):, _(*3)

<?php

return [
    "user" => App\\Models\\User::class
];

Call static method on class

$userGate = ClassGate::gate("user");
$users = $userGate->all() // will call User::all()

or shortcut, _(*4)

// will call User::all()
$users = ClassGate::gate("user")->all();

Create instance

$userGate = ClassGate::gate("user");
$user = $userGate->newInstance();

or shortcut, _(*5)

$user = ClassGate::instance("user");
$user = $userGate->theClass();

Class string:

$userGate = ClassGate::gate("user");

or shortcut, _(*6)

$userClass = ClassGate::objectClass("user");

Settings

Own config path

You can provide your own file or "array" path to the config via ClassGate::setConfigPath("models.list") which will find classes in models file and list array entry., _(*7)

Example config (models.php in config folder):, _(*8)

<?php

return [    
    "othersKeys" : "...",
    "list" => [
        "user" => App\\Models\\User::class
    ]
];

Todo

• Own provider with default config file (optional)
• Gate that will convert method call to config key and will create the correct ClassGate instance
• A command that will create file with docs of supported models (will support typehint on ClassGate static methods)

ClassGate proposal

• ClassGate::user() that will call ClassGate::gate("user")
