**Forked from mits87/eloquent-nested-attributes

Nested attributes allow you to save attributes on associated records through the parent. By default nested attribute updating is turned off and you can enable it using the $nested attribute. When you enable nested attributes an attribute writer is defined on the model.

Structure

If any of the following are applicable to your project, then the directory structure should follow industry best practises by being named the following.

src/
tests/
vendor/

Install

Via Composer

$ composer require mits87/eloquent-nested-attributes

Usage

namespace App;

use Eloquent\NestedAttributes\Model;

class Post extends Model
{
    protected $fillable = ['title'];
    
    protected $nested = ['option', 'comments'];

    public function option() {
        //it can be also morphOne
        return $this->hasOne('App\Option');
    }

    public function comments() {
        //it can be also morphMany
        return $this->hasMany('App\Comment');
    }
}

or

namespace App;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Eloquent\NestedAttributes\Traits\HasNestedAttributesTrait;

class Post extends Model
{
    use HasNestedAttributesTrait;

    ...
}

usage:

\App\Post::create([
    'title' => 'Some text',

    'option' => [
        'info' => 'some info'
    ],

    'comments' => [
        [
            'text' => 'Comment 1'
        ], [
            'text' => 'Comment 2'
        ],
    ]
]);


\App\Post::findOrFail(1)->update([
    'title' => 'Better text',

    'option' => [
        'info' => 'better info'
    ],

    'comments' => [
        [
            'id' => 2,
            'text' => 'Comment 2'
        ],
    ]
]);

to delete nested row you should pass _destroy attribute:

\App\Post::findOrFail(1)->update([
    'title' => 'Better text',

    'option' => [
        'info' => 'better info'
    ],

    'comments' => [
        [
            'id' => 2,
            '_destroy' => true
        ],
    ]
]);
