README

Eloquent flat file driver, on top of Sushi 🍣.

Requirements

PHP 8.1.4 or higher, Laravel 9+

Downward compatibility is already at the doorstep.

Installation

You can install the package via composer.

composer require authanram/laravel-flatfile

By default all files written by this package will be located at storage_path('app/flatfile').

Publish the package configuration:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Authanram\FlatFile\FlatFileServiceProvider"

Quickly examining the configuration file config/flatfile.php would be a good idea.

Usage Example

Here's an example of how it can be used in a very basic way:

namespace App\Models;

use Authanram\FlatFile\FlatFileModel;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\SoftDeletes;

class Post extends Model
{
    use FlatFileModel;
    use SoftDeletes;
    
    protected $schema = [
        'title' => 'string',
        'body' => 'string',
        'published_at' => 'datetime',
    ];
    
    protected $fillable = [
        'title',
        'body',
        'published_at',
    ];
}

Somewhere else in your code:

use App\Models\Post;

Post::create([
    'title' => 'New package arrived: laravel-flatfile',
    'body' => 'Solving the issue of...',
    'published_at' => now()->addHour(),
])

This will store the following contents to storage_path('app/flatfile/post/1.json'):

{
    "id": 1,
    "title": "New package arrived: laravel-flatfile",
    "body": "Solving the issue of...",
    "published_at": "2022-06-26 11:29:27",
    "created_at": "2022-06-26 10:29:27",
    "updated_at": "2022-06-26 10:29:27",
    "deleted_at": null
}

The package ships a second serializer, supporting yaml, that would lead to the following file contents stored at storage_path('app/flatfile/post/1.yaml'):

id: 1
title: New package arrived: laravel-flatfile
body: Solving the issue of...
published_at: 2022-06-26 11:29:27
created_at: '2022-06-26 10:29:27'
updated_at: '2022-06-26 10:29:27'
deleted_at: null
