Modify model date on update or create event
Hi all,
I am currently updating an app and I am looking for a way to ensure all user emails are stored as lowercase while the first_name and last_name to ucwords which would allow me to have a standard format throughout my application data.
Is there any boot method or middleware to help me do that instead of looking for every use of model create/update methods to modify them?
thank you, Mihail

@Sinnbeck, so I can actually create a boot function under the user and react to any updating, creating method call?

@tudosm Exactly yes. And reassign the email :)
$user->email = strtolower($user->email);
For instance
protected static function booted()
{
static::updating(function ($user) {
$user->email = strtolower($user->email);
});
}
