Creating Model

Create Laravel model file and keep it in your app’s /src/Models folder.

/packages/vendor-name/project-name/
                    ├── src
                    │   ├── Models
                    │   │   └── MyTable.php

namespace VendorName\ProjectName\Models;

class YourTable extends BaseModel
{
    protected $table = 'my_table';
    protected $fillable = ['name'];
}

Accessing Model

Use your model namespace on your app and execute any Laravel Eloquent ORM syntax as usual.

use VendorName\ProjectName\Models\YourTable;

Extending RVsitebuilder Default Models using Meta Table

Ever want to add more data to Users table. Thanks to wonderful Laravel-Metable project to make it possible. You can extend RVsitebuilder default model without needing to adjust the database schema.

The following model are metable.

• Users
• CorePage
• BlogPost
• CoreSystemPage
• CoreGlobalWidget
• BlogCategory
• CoreFacebook
• CoreFooter
• CoreHeader
• CoreMenu
• CoreSeo

Example Usage Metable.

namespace Rvsitebuilder\Core\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Plank\Metable\Metable;

    class CoreGlobalWidget extends Model
    {
        use Metable;

        protected $table = 'core_global_widget';
        protected $fillable = [
                'app_id',
                'widget_name',
        ];
    }

Attach some metadata to an eloquent model.

    // $setting = something
    $globalwidget = CoreGlobalWidget::updateOrCreate(
                    ['widget_name' => $widgetName],
                    [
                        'app_id' => $appID,
                        'widget_name' => $widgetName,
                    ]);
    $globalwidget->setMeta('global', $setting);

Retrieve the metadata from a model.

    $widget = CoreGlobalWidget::find($id);
    $widget->getMeta('global');
