README

Shared helpers used across the Innobox R&R Laravel packages.

This is the utility layer the other packages depend on — HTTP handling, request formatting, phone normalisation and a small data container. It is published because the packages need it, not because it is a product.

What is inside

It also registers the standard service providers (App, Auth, Event, Route) that the dependent packages hook into.

Nested form data and metas

A form can send groups several levels deep. RequestFormater turns them into the flat keys that a model's $editable_metas lists, so MetaOperations from innoboxrr/traits can store them:

use Innoboxrr\Support\Http\Requests\RequestFormater;

RequestFormater::flatten(['seo' => ['title' => 'T', 'og' => ['image' => 'x.png']]]);
// ['seo_title' => 'T', 'seo_og_image' => 'x.png']

$article->update_metas(RequestFormater::flatten($request->all()), ArticleMeta::class, 'article_id');

• Lists (['a', 'b']) and lists of value objects (emails, phones) are kept whole and stored as JSON.
• An empty group ('seo' => []) and empty values are kept, so a form can clear them: update_metas deletes a meta whose value is empty.
• If two keys end up the same, the first one wins.
• RequestFormater::format($request) replaces the request's data in place; validation rules that run afterwards must use the flattened names.

Should you install this directly?

Usually not. It arrives as a dependency of the package you actually wanted — deals, consultant-manager, omni-billing and others. Install it on its own only if you want PhoneFormatter or DataContainer in isolation.

composer require innoboxrr/support
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Innoboxrr\Support\Providers\AppServiceProvider" --tag=config
