Usage

HasUserstamps

Add into create or update table migration fields for userstamps created_at, updated_at and deleted_at. For examle modify CreateUsersTable migration.

class CreateUsersTable extends Migration
{
    public function up()
    {
        Schema::create('users', function (Blueprint $table) {
            ...
            // add userstamps fields
            $table->bigInteger('created_by')->nullable();
            $table->bigInteger('updated_by')->nullable();
            // if SoftDeletes trait will be used in model then add deleted_by field
            // $table->bigInteger('deleted_by')->nullable();
              
        });
    }

    ...

}

In the model you must:

1. declare using of trait Limanweb\EloquentExt\Models\Concerns\HasUserstamps
2. use HasUserstamps trait in the model
3. enable userstamps by define public property $userstamps with true value

...

use Limanweb\EloquentExt\Models\Concerns\HasUserstamps;  // (1) declare

class User extends Authenticatable
{
    use Notifiable;
    use HasUserstamps;          // (2) use trait in the model
    
    public $userstamps = true;  // (3) enable userstamps

    ...
}

The created_by and updated_by fields in your model will now be populated in the same way as the timestamp fields when you create and update the model. If your model uses SoftDeletes traite, will also be processed field, deleted_by.

HasCompositePrimaryKey

In the model you must:

1. declare using of trait Limanweb\EloquentExt\Models\Concerns\HasCompositePrimaryKey
2. use HasCompositePrimaryKey trait in the model
3. set $incrementing model property as false
4. set $primaryKey model property as array complex primary key part names

...

use Limanweb\EloquentExt\Models\Concerns\HasCompositePrimaryKey;  // (1) declare trait

class Example extends Model
{

    use HasCompositePrimaryKey;         // (2) use trait in the model
    
    public $incrementing = false;			// (3)
    
    protected $primaryKey = ['part1', 'part2']; // (4)

    ...
}

Example of using

>>> $m = Example::find([65, 275]);
=> App\Example {#3837
     part1: 65,
     part2: 275,
     message: "record 65:275",
   }

>>> $m->getKey();
=> [
     65,
     275,
   ]
