A simple trait to access your Eloquent relations using its snake_case property
Install via composer by running composer require cupoftea/eloquent-snake-relations.
Once installed, Models created via the make:model command will automatically extend CupOfTea\Database\Eloquent\Model to allow relation access via the snake_cased relation name.
To update the User Model, replace the Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User import with CupOfTea\Auth\User. You can keep the alias used for the import.
If you have already created some Models in your Application, simply replace the Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model import with CupOfTea\Database\Eloquent\Model, or for Pivot Models, replace the Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Relations\Pivot import with CupOfTea\Database\Eloquent\Relations\Pivot.
Alternatively, if you are extending your own Model class, you can use the CupOfTea\Database\Eloquent\Concerns\HasSnakeCaseRelations trait on that Model, or extend it from CupOfTea\Database\Eloquent\Model instead of Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model.
To access your model relations, you can now use the snake_case property, even if your relation method is camelCase. For example, if your your relationship method is defined as User::creditCards(), you can access it via $user->credit_cards.
Note: Please note that only property access can use snake_case. Additional relationship queries or eager loading should still use the relationship method name as is. For example,
$creditCards = User::find(1)->creditCards()->orderBy('expires')->get();, or$users = User::with('creditCards')->all();
