Laravel Ownership Package – Simplify Model Ownership in Laravel

Managing ownership relationships between models can get tricky in Laravel projects. The Laravel Ownership package by Dibakar Mitra makes it simple and elegant.

🚀 What is Laravel Ownership?

This package allows you to assign and manage ownership between different models. For example, a User can own a Project, Team, or any other entity. It uses a clean polymorphic approach without repeating boilerplate code.

✨ Features

• Polymorphic ownership handling out of the box.
• Easy to integrate with existing models.
• Supports roles for more advanced ownership structures.
• Database migration included (ownerships table).
• Works seamlessly with Laravel 9, 10, and 11.

📦 Installation

1. Require the package:

   composer require dibakar/laravel-ownership
   

   (if you’re testing the dev branch, use composer require dibakar/laravel-ownership:dev-main)

2. Publish and run the migration:

   php artisan vendor:publish --tag=ownership-migrations
   php artisan migrate
   

3. Add the HasOwnership trait to your models:

   use Dibakar\Ownership\Traits\HasOwnership;
   
   class Project extends Model
   {
       use HasOwnership;
   }
   

🔧 Usage Example

$project = Project::find(1);
$user = User::find(1);

// Assign ownership
$project->addOwner($user, 'manager');

// Check ownership
if ($project->isOwnedBy($user)) {
    echo "User owns this project!";
}

🤝 Why Use This Package?

• Keeps your code clean and DRY.
• Avoids writing repetitive relationship logic.
• Flexible enough to handle teams, clients, vendors, or multi-role ownership.
