Description

Attach Time-sliced Metadata to Eloquent Models

"Multiplex allows you to attach time-sliced metadata to Eloquent models in a convenient way.

• Metadata is saved in versions: Schedule changes to metadata, change history or retrieve metadata for a specific point in time.
• Supports fluent syntax: Use your model’s metadata as if they were properties.
• Polymorphic relationship allows adding metadata to any Eloquent model without worrying about the database schema.
• Easy to try: Extend existing database columns of your model with versionable metadata without touching or deleting your original columns.
• Type conversion system heavily based on Laravel-Metable allows data of numerous different scalar and object types to be stored and retrieved.

The main difference to other metadata packages is that the metadata in Multiplex has a timestamp that defines validity. This allows changes to be tracked and planned. You can inspect all metadata on your model at a specific point in time and Multiplex will by default only give you the most current.

Since Multiplex is storing the metadata in a polymorphic table, it can easily be plugged into existing projects to expand properties of your models. This even works without removing the relevant table columns of your model: They are used as a fallback."
