@IsraelOrtuno thank you for your great work! I'd like to use it but is it production ready? Any plans for a stable release? And how to create a attribute isn't documented yet.

IsraelOrtuno commented 8 years ago

It is not ready yet, I want to have an stable version within the next month :)

royduin commented 8 years ago

I'm looking forward to the stable version! Maybe you can tell me the difference between Eavquent and https://cartalyst.com/manual/attributes/ ?

IsraelOrtuno commented 8 years ago

@royduin there are a few reasons I decided to code this package and not use that one instead:

  1. Eavquent lets you store your datatypes independently instead of all on the same table as a TEXT type. It will store values in different value type tables: integers in eav_values_integer which content column will be integer. Same for any other datatype as varchar, datetime, serialized, etc... You could also create new datatypes by creating new models and just using Laravel mutators you could set how they are read and written.
  2. Makes use of Eloquent relationships so we can easily query our models using attributes, check docs for this.
  3. Let you have multivalued attributes. You could create an attribute which will store a collection of values, being automatically handled by Eavquent.
  4. Includes attribute caching.
  5. Easy to extend and modify. Could easy be extended to create a new value type which will act as relation of entities. Lets imagine we would like to create a new Contact attribute labeled manager in our Company entity. This is already possible as the underlaying value is an Eloquent model.
  6. Framework agnostic. Or at least I am going to try... However this is not a priority now.

Could say a few more, but I think it's enough :D

Thank you! I'm convinced and looking forward to the first stable release.
