Default Stored Value

During any (update or store requests), this is called after the fill and store callbacks.

You can pass a callable or a value, and it will be attached to the model if no value provided otherwise.

Imagine it's like attributes in the model:

field('currency')->defaultCallback('EUR')

Fixed

• Missing Str class

Apply advanced filters via POST Request (Version 9.3.0+)

Starting from version 9.3.0, Laravel Restify introduces the ability to apply advanced filters using a POST request. This enhancement simplifies the process of sending complex filter payloads without the need for base64 encoding. Now, you can send the filters directly as JSON in the request body:

const filters = [
    {
        'key': 'ready-posts-filter',
        'value': null,
    }
];

const  response = await axios.post(`api/restify/posts/apply-restify-advanced-filters`, { filters });

Added

Handling Additional Payload Data in Advanced Filters

In some scenarios, you might want to send additional data beyond the standard key and value in your filter payload. For instance, you may need to specify an operator or a column to apply more complex filtering logic. Laravel Restify Advanced Filters provide a way to handle these additional payload fields using the $this->rest() method.

Example Payload

Consider the following payload:

const filters = btoa(JSON.stringify([
    {
        'key': ValueFilter::uriKey(),
        'value': 'Valid%',
        'operator' => 'like',
        'column' => 'description',
    }
]));

const response = await axios.get(`api/restify/posts?filters=${filters}`);

In this payload, besides the standard key and value, we are also sending operator and column. The operator specifies the type of SQL operation, and the column specifies the database column to filter.

Using $this->rest() to Access Additional Data

To handle these additional fields in your filter class, you need to ensure they are accessible via the $this->rest() method. Here is how you can achieve that:

class ValueFilter extends AdvancedFilter
{
    public function filter(RestifyRequest $request, Builder|Relation $query, $value)
    {
        $operator = $this->rest('operator');
        $column = $this->rest('column');

        $query->where($column, $operator, $value);
    }

    public function rules(Request $request): array
    {
        return [];
    }
}

Added

• Ability to cache single policy #605

Restify allows individual caching at the policy level with specific configurations. To enable this, a contract Cacheable must be implemented at the policy level, which enforces the use of the cache() method.

class PostPolicy implements Cacheable
{
    public function cache(): ?CarbonInterface
    {
        return now()->addMinutes();
    }

The cache method is expected to return a CarbonInterface or null. If null is returned, the current policy will NOT cached.

Generate solution

Restify can generate an AI based solution to your problem. In order to enable that you need to extend the App\Exceptions\Handler with the Binaryk\LaravelRestify\Exceptions\RestifyHandler:

use Binaryk\LaravelRestify\Exceptions\RestifyHandler;
use Throwable;

class Handler extends RestifyHandler
{
    //...
}

This feature is only enabled when the `app.debug` is set to `true`.

This feature is using the openai-php/laravel, you should also publish the config file:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="OpenAI\Laravel\ServiceProvider"

and set the OPENAI_API_KEY in the .env file.

The OpenAI key can be obtained from here.

Now the solution to your problems will automatically appear in the response:

{
    "restify-solution": "Line 67 in DocumentRepository.php file has an error because the method `resolveUsingFullPath()` is not defined. The code should look like this:\n```\n->resolveUsingTemporaryUrl($request->boolean('temporary'))\n```\n",
    "message": "Call to undefined method Binaryk\\LaravelRestify\\Fields\\File::resolveUsingFullPath()",
    "exception": "Error",
    "file": "/Users/eduardlupacescu/Sites/binarcode/erp/app/Restify/DocumentRepository.php",
    "line": 67,
    "trace": [
...
}

Disable solution

If you want to disable the solution feature you can set the restify.ai_solution to false in the config/restify.php file so Restify will not call the OpenAI API even you extended the exception handler. This might be useful in automated tests or other environments:

// config/restify.php
'ai_solutions' => true,
