Data Casts

This package provides a number of casts to help interface media files to native array or object types. Casts also allows you to use media files at attribute level rather than associating them to your entire model. The stored value in your database column is the file ID or an array on IDs.

Ascribing the MOIREI\MediaLibrary\Traits\InteractsWithMedia trait will automatically detect and associate files to the model.
