Suspend Eloquent models

Imagine you want to suspend an Eloquent model, a User model for example. Usually, adding an is_suspended field to the model could work. But then you can't keep track of why the model was suspended, how many times or even set the duration of the suspension.

This package provides a CanBeSuspended trait that enables you do all of these, once installed. It would be something like this:

//suspend model
$model->suspend();

//suspend for the next 7 days
$model->suspend(7);

//suspend for the next 7 days with a reason
$model->suspend(7, 'privacy violation');

//get the latest suspension
$model->suspension(); //returns an instance of \Digikraaft\ModelSuspension\Suspension

//get the reason for suspension
$model->suspension()->reason; //returns 'privacy violation'

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require digikraaft/laravel-model-suspension

You must publish the migration with:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Digikraaft\ModelSuspension\ModelSuspensionServiceProvider" --tag="migrations"

Run the migration to publish the suspensions table with:

php artisan migrate

You can optionally publish the config-file with:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Digikraaft\ModelSuspension\ModelSuspensionServiceProvider" --tag="config"

The content of the file that will be published to config/model-suspension.php:

return [
    /*
      * The class name of the suspension model that holds all suspensions.
      *
      * The model must be or extend `Digikraaft\ModelSuspension\Suspension`.
      */
    'suspension_model' => Digikraaft\ModelSuspension\Suspension::class,

    /*
     * The name of the column which holds the ID of the model related to the suspensions.
     *
     * Only change this value if you have set a different name in the migration for the suspensions table.
     */
    'model_primary_key_attribute' => 'model_id',

];

Usage

Add the CanBeSuspended trait to the model you would like to suspend:

use Digikraaft\ModelSuspension\CanBeSuspended;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class EloquentModel extends Model
{
    use CanBeSuspended;
}

Suspend model

You can suspend a model like this:

$model->suspend();

The number of days to be suspended for with a reason can be passed as the first and second arguments respectively:

//suspend model for the next 7 days with a reason
$model->suspend(7, 'optional reason');

You can also specify the suspension period (in minutes or days) with an optional third argument:

//suspend model for the next 30 minutes with a reason
$model->suspend(30, 'optional reason', Suspension::PERIOD_IN_MINUTES);

Retrieving suspensions

You can get the current suspension of the model like this:

$model->suspension(); //returns the latest instance of Digikraaft\ModelSuspension\Suspension

All associated suspensions of a model can be retrieved like this:

$model->suspensions();

The allSuspensions scope can be used to retrieve all the suspensions of the model:

$allSuspensions = EloquentModel::allSuspensions();

The activeSuspensions scope can be used to retrieve only active suspensions:

$allActiveSuspensions = EloquentModel::activeSuspensions();

The nonActiveSuspensions scope can be used to retrieve only non-active suspensions:

$allNonActiveSuspensions = EloquentModel::nonActiveSuspensions();

Get number of times a model has been suspended

You can get the number of times a model has been suspended like this:

$model->numberOfTimesSuspended();

To get the number of times a model has been suspended over a period, pass in a Carbon formatted $from and $to dates as the first and second arguments respectively:

//get the number of times a model has been suspended over the last month

$from = now()->subMonth();
$to = now();

$model->numberOfTimesSuspended($from, $to);

Note that an InvalidDate exception will be thrown if the $from date is later than the $to

Check if model has been suspended

You can check if a model is currently suspended:

$model->isSuspended();

You can also check if a model has ever been suspended:

$model->hasEverBeenSuspended();

Unsuspend model

You can unsuspend a model at any time by using the unsuspend method:

$model->unsuspend();

This will unsuspend the model immediately. If a suspension period has been initially specified, it will be overridden.

Events

The Digikraaft\ModelSuspension\Events\ModelSuspensionChanged event will be dispatched when a model is suspended or unsuspended.

namespace Digikraaft\ModelSuspension\Events;

use Digikraaft\ModelSuspension\Suspension;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class ModelSuspensionChanged
{
    /** @var \Digikraaft\ModelSuspension\Suspension */
    public Suspension $suspension;

    /** @var \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model */
    public Model $model;

    public function __construct(Model $model, Suspension $suspension)
    {
        $this->suspension = $suspension;
        $this->model = $model;
    }
}

Custom model and migration

You can change the model used by specifying a different class name in the suspension_model key of the model-suspension config file.

You can also change the column name used in the suspension table (default is model_id) when using a custom migration. If this is the case, also change the model_primary_key_attribute key of the model-suspension config file.
