Laravel Metabox : Easy creation of custom fields for Laravel

If you have worked with WordPress, WordPress has a feature called custom metabox. The work of metabox in WordPress is that you create fields, you don’t need to create a database table related to its field. So the metabox itself has a special table that stores the received field data in key and value.

Well, we brought this feature of WordPress metabox to Laravel.

Installs

Install Package:

composer require rayiumir/laravel-metabox

After Publish Files:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Rayiumir\\LaravelMetabox\\ServiceProvider\\MetaboxServiceProvider"

And Migration Database:

php artisan migrate

How to use

Calling HasMetaboxes in Models Post.php:

use Rayiumir\LaravelMetabox\Traits\HasMetaboxes;

use HasMetaboxes;

To delete post metabox data, place the following function in Post.php:

protected static function boot(): void
{
    parent::boot();

    static::deleting(function ($post) {
        $post->metaboxes()->delete();
    });
}

You are aware a model represents a table, right?
Using a key value table makes no sense when you can add a field to a model.

I just checked custom meta boxes. What I understand from the documentation is it a way to create an admin component. It can be a form where you add metadata, but it could also be the visitor number of the post. from the documentation:

The content of custom meta boxes are usually HTML form elements where the user enters data related to a Plugin’s purpose, but the content can be practically any HTML you desire.

So if you want to build something like that I think you should focus on Laravel dashboard solutions like Nova.
