Laravel Morphable

A trait to morph Eloquent models to a child class based on a type field.

Installation

Add the package to the dependencies of your application

composer require michielkempen/laravel-morphable

Usage

Add the Morphable trait to your model, and add a factory and typeField property. The typeField property is optional and defaults to type. The factory property is mandatory and needs to contain the path to a class which inherits the MorphableModelFactory interface.

<?php

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use MichielKempen\LaravelMorphable\Morphable;
use App\UserModelFactory;

class User extends Model
{
    use Morphable;
    
    public $factory = UserModelFactory::class;
    
    public $typeField = 'role';
}

<?php

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use \MichielKempen\LaravelMorphable\MorphableModelFactory;

class UserModelFactory implements MorphableModelFactory
{
    public static function create(string $type): Model
    {
        if($type == 'admin') {
            return app(Manager::class);
        }   
    
        return app(Customer::class);
    }
}

<?php

class Manager extends User
{
    // manager specific methods
}

<?php

class Customer extends User
{
    // customer specific methods
}
