eplus

A set of database conventions used in addition to Laravel’s Eloquent database model.

Field Order

Fields are organized by field type. Fields are placed in the following order:

• id (primary key)
• char, varchar, and text
• blob, binary, and varbinary
• json
• integer, smallint, tinyint, mediumint, and bigint
• decimal, numeric, float, and double
• enums and sets
• foreign keys
• dates
• timestamps
• soft deletes

Dates

All date and time fields are named after their event and then _at. For example published_at.

The default timestamps fieldnames are created_at and updated_at. The default soft delete field name is deleted_at.
