How to register a default Observer for every Model instance with Laravel
Instead of extending model - write your own trait which will work as observer.
Below I wrote some basic trait:
<?php
namespace App\YourPackage\Traits;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
trait Observable
{
public static function bootObservable()
{
static::updating(function (Model $model) {
dd('updating');
});
}
}
and use it by typing use Observable;
in your model class.
Also for your learning take a note how traits is booting: You have to put boot[TraitClassName]
method into trait, to boot it properly.
Never write boot
method inside your trait, it's dangerous!
Why not simply extend a parent class say BaseObserver
I have something similar in my caching system
<?php namespace App\Observers;
class BaseObserver {
public function saving($model)
{
//do your thing here that apply to all observers, like caching
}
}
Then in your Observers
<?php namespace App\Observers;
class Quotation extends BaseObserver{
//you can override any of the methods if you wish
}
