Context: Trying to extend Laravel models from a database table. Tablemodels
linked toApp\Models\BootableModel
,App\Models\User
extends this class.
I have the following code:
<?php
class BootableModel extends Model
{
protected $table = 'models';
protected $fillable = [
'name',
'class',
'table',
];
public function __construct(array $attributes = [])
{
$this->bootFromDatabase();
parent::__construct($attributes);
}
private function bootFromDatabase()
{
$class = static::class;
$bModClass = self::class;
Log::debug($class);
Log::debug($bModClass);
//$bootableModel = DB::table('models')->where('class', $class)->first();
$bootableModel = $bModClass::where('class', $class)->first();
if(!$bootableModel) {
return;
}
Log::debug($bootableModel->id);
The debug of$bModClass
showsApp\Models\BootableModel
as expected (self
vsstatic
), but for some reason the$bModClass::where
is trying to query theusers
table. Using a direct reference toApp\Models\BootableModel::class
does not change this, so it's notself::class
that is the issue. The debug output as proof:
[2021-02-21 17:33:39] local.DEBUG: App\Models\User
[2021-02-21 17:33:39] local.DEBUG: App\Models\BootableModel
It should never try to accessUser::where()
, and as such, it should never try to useUser::$table
either, but somehow it does.
Is Laravel doing some weird reflection, or is this normal PHP behavior? Is there a way around this?
Update:
I have found a workaround, but I'm not satisfied with this being the correct/only solution:
public function __construct(array $attributes = [])
{
parent::__construct($attributes);
static::bootFromDatabase();
}
public static function bootFromDatabase()
{
$class = static::class;
$bModClass = self::class;
if($class === $bModClass) {
return;
}
Have you ever triedself::where(...)
instead of$bModClass::where(...)
?
Similar situation:
class Base {
public static function where()
{
return 'where from base';
}
public static function getName()
{
return self::where();
}
}
class User extends Base {
public static function where()
{
return 'where from user';
}
}
echo User::getName();
Output:where from base
