How to register entity attributes?

[codercms]

I addeed following entry to the eav_attributes table:

INSERT INTO `eav_attributes` (`id`, `code`, `label`, `model`, `entity`, `collection`, `default_value`) VALUES
(2, 'city', 'city', 'App\\Models\\Books', '*', 0, NULL);

Code of books model:

<?php
namespace App\Models;

use Devio\Eavquent\Eavquent;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Books extends Model
{
    use Eavquent;

    protected $fillable = ['title', 'author', 'isbn'];

    // Eager loading all the registered attributes
    protected $with = ['eav'];
}

Code of books controller:

<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\Models\Books;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;

class BooksController extends Controller
{
    public function add(Request $request)
    {
        $book = new Books($request->all());

        $book->city = 'Test';

        $this->validate($request, [
            'title' => 'required',
            'author' => 'required',
            'isbn' => 'required'
        ]);

        $book->saveOrFail();
    }
}

Call stack:

You are creating an attribute for *... I know package is not yet documented...

INSERT INTO `eav_attributes` (`id`, `code`, `label`, `model`, `entity`, `collection`, `default_value`) VALUES
(2, 'city', 'city', 'Devio\\Eavquent\\Value\\Data\\Varchar', 'App\\Models\\Book', 0, NULL);

The entity represents the model you attach the value to, and the model is the data type... I am updating this naming to make it more understandable.

Remember package is not production ready and things may break / change.

If you are pointing to dev-master there are two columns that have changed on the Attributes table:

• code by name
• model by type
