How to Use Anonymous Global Scopes in Laravel Models
In this lesson, we will see how to use anonymous global scopes in Laravel models, the global scope allows you to add a constraint to a query for a given model.
Apply anonymous global scopes in laravel model
So let's assume that we have a Post model and we want to fetch only the posts of the currently logged-in user first, we define an anonymous global scope inside the Post model using a closure, and we give it a name as the first argument to the addGlobalScope method, and to assign the global scope to the model we override the booted method.
Now when you try to fetch all the posts you will get only the posts of the currently logged-in user.
<?php
namespace App\Models;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Builder;
class Post extends Model
{
use HasFactory;
protected static function booted()
{
static::addGlobalScope('user', function (Builder $builder) {
$builder->where('user_id', auth()->id());
});
}
}
