A trait to morph Eloquent models to a child class based on a type field.
Add the package to the dependencies of your application
composer require michielkempen/laravel-morphable
Add the Morphable trait to your model, and add a factory and typeField property. The typeField property is optional and defaults to type. The factory property is mandatory and needs to contain the path to a class which inherits the MorphableModelFactory interface.
<?php
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use MichielKempen\LaravelMorphable\Morphable;
use App\UserModelFactory;
class User extends Model
{
use Morphable;
public $factory = UserModelFactory::class;
public $typeField = 'role';
}<?php
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use \MichielKempen\LaravelMorphable\MorphableModelFactory;
class UserModelFactory implements MorphableModelFactory
{
public static function create(string $type): Model
{
if($type == 'admin') {
return app(Manager::class);
}
return app(Customer::class);
}
}<?php
class Manager extends User
{
// manager specific methods
}<?php
class Customer extends User
{
// customer specific methods
