Column Types

Experimental

Column types are an experimental feature and are likely to change in the future. Documentation about them is therefore light.

Some types of data are not suited to be displayed as text. For those types of data, you can use a different column type. You can change a column type be setting the type to a different value. The value should be one of the BrickNPC\EloquentTables\Enums\ColumnType enum values, and defaults to text.

<?php
// app/Tables/UserTable.php

declare(strict_types=1);

namespace App\Tables;

use App\Models\User;
use BrickNPC\EloquentTables\Table;
use BrickNPC\EloquentTables\Column;
use BrickNPC\EloquentTables\Enums\ColumnType;

new Column(name: 'active', type: ColumnType::Boolean);
// Or
new Column(name: 'active')->type(ColumnType::Boolean);
// Or
new Column(name: 'active')->boolean();
new Column(name: 'active')->checkbox();
