I'm working on a visual studio code extension to add Eloquent model attributes automatically,($primaryKey, $fillable, $casts, etc) depending on the database table.
I'm updating the list of attribute casting types and trying to match them to MySQL column types. Is there any point of casting to float, double, real and string? Also, is there a default MySQL equivalent of collection?
Is there any point of casting to float, double, real and string?
Yes, casting also works without the database.
// set a string
$invoice->cents = "10000";
// returns a string
var_dump($invoice->cents);
$casts = [
'cents' => 'int',
];
// set a string
$invoice->cents = "10000";
// returns an integer
var_dump($invoice->cents);
@click Oh, that makes sense. Thanks.
