README

This model provides a Laravel eloquent-like base class that can be used to build custom models in Laravel or other frameworks.

Features

• Accessors and mutators
• Model to Array and JSON conversion
• Hidden attributes in Array/JSON conversion
• Guarded and fillable attributes
• Appending accessors and mutators to Array/JSON conversion
• Attribute casting

You can read more about these features and the original Eloquent model on http://laravel.com/docs/eloquent

        return API::post('/items', $this->attributes);
