This package includes some useful utilities for Laravel 5.5+ to extend some functionality and prepare project for other related packages

• class AbstractTypes - Extend this class and add your constants to use them later easily.

class Gender extends AbstractTypes {
    const MALE = 1;
    const FEMALE = 2;
}

    print_r(Gender::MALE); // Output: 1
    print_r(Gender::FEMALE); // Output: 2
    print_r(Gender::all()); // Output: '1,2'
    print_r(Gender::all('json')); // Output: '{"1":"translated.male","2":"translated.female"}'
    // You can also pass second parameter false, to not translate the values
    print_r(Gender::all('json', false)); // Output: '{"1":"MALE","2":"FEMALE"}'
    print_r(Gender::all('array')); // Output: ["MALE" => 1, "FEMALE" => 2]

• class AppEngineCron - Just a middleware to filter and allow only requests from Google AppEngine's CRON

Just add to routes you need to filter

• class ForceSSL - Middleware to convert HTTP reuests to HTTPS if set in configuration

Edit protocol parameter in configuration file and add to routes you need to convert

• class Handler - Exception to RESTful error messages converter

Extend your App/Exceptions/Handler from this class, and you will get all exceptions prettified for RESTful API

• class Model - This class extends from native Eloquent Model and adds some useful features like camelCase attributes, translatable attributes and optional and configurable attribute sanitization

Extend all your model's from this one instead of native Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model and you will get them all automatically

• trait HasParams - You can use this trait in all your models which have params attribute in database

DO NOT FORGET to cast your params attribute as array before using this trait

• trait HasIcon - You can use this trait in all your models which have icon. This will add $model->saveIcon($image); and $model->deleteIcon(); methods.

DO NOT FORGET to add icon column to your model's table before using this trait

• class Storage - You can use it as a factory for your storage

use Ptuchik\CoreUtilities\Helpers\Storage;

$storage = new Storage(); // Pass true as the only parameter if you need to initialize your public storage

// ... after initialization you can use $storage variable as regular Filesystem Adapter. like:

$storage->get($path);
$storage->put($path);

// ...etc...
