I am currently creating a blog where each Post row in my database will have a unique hash attribute that is based of the post's id (incrementing, always unique).
This my Post model
<?php
namespace App;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Hashids;
class Post extends Model
{
public function setTitleAttribute($value)
{
$this->attributes['title'] = $value;
if (! $this->exists) {
$this->attributes['slug'] = str_slug($value);
}
}
public function setIdAttribute($value) {
$this->attributes['id'] = $value;
$this->attributes['hash'] = Hashids::encode($value);
}
}
When I run this factory
$factory->define(App\Post::class, function (Faker\Generator $faker) {
return [
'title' => $faker->sentence(mt_rand(3, 10)),
'content' => join("
", $faker->paragraphs(mt_rand(3, 6))),
'author' => $faker->name,
'category' => rand(1, 20),
];
});
The setIdAttribute($value) function is getting called, but my hash attribute is not being set. I am not sure if it is getting overwritten or what.
If I move the line
$this->attributes['hash'] = Hashids::encode($value);
to the function
public function setTitleAttribute($value)
and encode the title attribute it works fine, but I want to encode the 'id' attribute. Any idea how I would do this?
