Laravel Presentable for Eloquent Models

#laravel #php #blade #eloquent

Hey there!

Today was release of Laravel Presentable Package to 0.0.2 versión for support Laravel Framework v9.

This package allow create presenter classes for Eloquent models. A presenter class allows you to separate displays concerns from model data in a specific class.

Installation

 composer require datacreativa/laravel-presentable
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

For example add the trait HasPresentable to User Model.

 use App\Models\Presenters\UserPresenter; use TheHiveTeam\Presentable\HasPresentable; class User extends Model { use HasPresentable; protected $presenter = UserPresenter::class; }
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

$presenter property that defines the presenter class.

Here's an example of what a presenter class will look like:

 namespace App\Models\Presenters; use TheHiveTeam\Presentable\Presenter; class UserPresenter extends Presenter { public function name() { return ucwords($this->model->name); } }
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Using the User model as an example, you can now access presenter methods in the view:

 $user->present()->name;
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

If you find that separating view display logic into a dedicated presenter class makes sense, this package could be an excellent fit.
