Meta

Meta fields for Eloquent models:

• Defining: define them once with javaabu/stencil fields.
• Storing: values are stored in typed, indexed columns.
• Querying: whereMeta and orderByMeta filter and sort by them, and eager loading avoids N+1s.
• Editing: edit them in a form rendered with Blade or Inertia React.
• Extending: add your own types.
• Translating: translate them with javaabu/translatable.

MetaFields::for(Post::class, [
    TextInput::make('subtitle')->maxLength(255)->thaana()->translatable(),
    Checkbox::make('featured'),
    DatePicker::make('event_date'),
]);

class Post extends Model
{
    use HasMeta;
}

$post->setMeta(['subtitle' => 'ރާއްޖޭގެ ޚަބަރު', 'featured' => true]);
$post->getMeta('subtitle');

Post::whereMeta('featured', true)->whereMeta('event_date', '>=', today())->orderByMeta('event_date')->with('meta')->paginate();

MetaForm::for($post)->action(route('posts.meta.update', $post));   // {{ $form }} or <StencilForm schema={form} />
