Introduction

This library can be used in the scenarios when you want to understand the db boolean field value as not only its status but also the time when it becomes true.

Code Sample

<?php

namespace App;

use Sarahman\Database\Support\BooleanTimestampFieldManipulator;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Product extends Model
{
    use BooleanTimestampFieldManipulator;

    protected $fillable = ['title', 'description', 'is_active'];

    protected static $boolTimestampFields = ['is_active'];

    public static function boot()
    {
        parent::boot();

        /** This trait method call is required for laravel v4.*. */
        self::bootBooleanTimestampFieldManipulator();
    }
}

Installation

This trait is installed via Composer. To install, simply add to your composer.json file:

composer require sarahman/laravel-timestamp-boolean-fields:1.1.*

After installing, you would just use it in your eloquent/model class and define the timestamp-based boolean fields in the $boolTimestampFields property as well as in $fillable property.

If the project is developed in Laravel v4.*, then you need to call bootBooleanTimestampFieldManipulator() method in the boot() of the class.

<?php
...
    public static function boot()
    {
        parent::boot();

        self::bootBooleanTimestampFieldManipulator();
    }
...

Note: The timestamp-based field names must be prefixed by is_; and the field names without its is_ prefix will be appended in the model attributes with time_being_ prefix; i.e. is_active field name will appended in the model attributes as time_being_active name. The is_active field value will be boolean and time_being_active field value will the timestamp value.
