Jenssegers MongoDB dot notation in fillable

I'm trying to get the dot notation working in Jenssegers MongoDB package for Laravel. According this issue it's already been implemented:

But it doesn't seem to work in the latest version.

protected $fillable = ['title', 'some.data'];

Doesn't work. But if I open it all up it works fine.

protected $guarded = [];

So that works, not sure if this feature is still there or I need to pre filter my fields manually for now?

Solution

  • Nested fields are not currently supported in $fillable.

    Unfortunately this means you have to do it manually. There are two ways to go: If you have an embedded Some model, you can set $fillable on that, create/fill it with new data, then attach it to the parent model.

    If you don't have/want a whole separate model for your subdocument, you would have to define e.g. $someFillable = ['data']; and use that to filter your new $some data prior to manually setting it on the model. You can basically just copy how Eloquent does it in its fill method.
