Description

Reusable trait for encrypting Laravel model fields.

Requirements

• Any fields that are encryptable need to be changed to type "text" in the database, due to the encrypted data string being much longer than the original data.
• PHP >=7.0
• Laravel ~5.6

Installation

0. As always: back up your database - I am not responsible for any data loss

1. Install the package via Composer:

   composer require mike-zange/laravel-encryptable

2. On your model add:

   use Encryptable;
   
   public $encryptable = [
       'field_1',
       'field_2',
       'field_3',
       'field_4'
   ];
   

The trait will take care of the rest
