How to implement string handler in laravel model?

To implement a string handler in a Laravel model, you can create a mutator method that will manipulate the string data before saving it to the database.

Here's an example of how to implement a string handler in a Laravel model:

1. Define a mutator method in your model:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7

class Post extends Model
{
    public function setTitleAttribute($value)
    {
        $this->attributes['title'] = ucfirst($value); // Manipulate the string data (e.g. capitalize the first letter)
    }
}

1. In this example, we are creating a mutator method called setTitleAttribute that will capitalize the first letter of the title attribute before saving it to the database.
2. Now, whenever you set the title attribute on a Post model instance, the mutator method will automatically be called to manipulate the string data.
3. You can also create other mutator methods for handling different string manipulations as needed in your application.
4. Make sure to follow the Laravel naming convention for defining mutator methods - use set{AttributeName}Attribute for setting mutators and get{AttributeName}Attribute for getting accessors.

By implementing string handlers in this way, you can easily manipulate string data in your Laravel models before saving or retrieving it from the database.
