Dynamic Relationship Accessors for Laravel 5 and Lumen 5

Laravel DynamicRelations

---

An extension of Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model that allows relationships to be called as dynamic properties, such as:

$prop = "myProp";
$user->$prop->toArray();

####Installation

Install with composer: composer require patinthehat/laravel-dynamic-relations

####Usage

To use, extend the DynamicModel class. In the child class, override the $dynamicRelations array property, adding items that correlate to relation names.

namespace App\Models;

use Permafrost\DynamicRelations\DynamicModel;

class User extends DynamicModel
{
    public static $dynamicRelations = [
      'abc', 'def',
    ];
    
    public function abc()
    {
        return $this->hasMany('App\Models\Abc');
    }
    
    public function def()
    {
        return $this->hasMany('App\Models\Def');
    }
    
}

Now, your relations can be accessed dynamically:

$user = User::find(1);
$prop = "abc";
$user->$prop->toArray();
