IsHostable

Namespace: Unusualify\Modularous\Entities\Traits\IsHostable

Extends HasSlug and Core\ModelHelpers to support multi-level hostable slug routing. Traverses BelongsTo and HasMany relationship chains to build full slug paths including all ancestor segments. Useful for nested page hierarchies where each level has its own slug.

---

Dependencies

Automatically composes:

• HasSlug — slug storage and route binding
• Core\ModelHelpers — definedRelations introspection

---

Properties

Property	Type	Default	Description
$hostableColumn	string	'url'	Column name that stores the hostable URL segment

---

Methods

Method	Signature	Description
hostables	(): Collection (static)	Returns all hostable, published models (applies hostable + published scopes)
getHostableColumn	(): string	Returns the column name for the hostable URL
hostableRouteArguments	(): array	Builds the full route parameter array by traversing parent BelongsTo relationships — e.g. ['parent' => 'about-us', 'page' => 'team']
hostableParents	(): array	Returns parent model instances that also use IsHostable
hostableParentRecords	(): array	Returns the actual parent model records
hostableChilds	(): array	Returns child model classes that use IsHostable via HasMany
hostableChildRouteParameters	(): array	Returns child route parameter placeholders
hostableRouteBindingParameter	(): string (static)	Returns the route parameter placeholder for this model (e.g. {page})

---

Scopes

Scope	Description
scopeHostable($query)	Records with a non-null hostable column and no parent hostable (top-level)
scopeNotParentHostable($query)	Records where the parent model has no hostable URL

---

Usage

use Unusualify\Modularous\Entities\Traits\IsHostable;

class Page extends Model
{
    use IsHostable;

    public function parent(): BelongsTo
    {
        return $this->belongsTo(Page::class);
    }

    public function children(): HasMany
    {
        return $this->hasMany(Page::class, 'parent_id');
    }
}

// Route generation — builds full slug path
$page->hostableRouteArguments();
// ['parent' => 'about-us', 'page' => 'team']

// Query
Page::hostable()->get();
Page::notParentHostable()->get();

// All published hostable pages
Page::hostables();

Route binding

Because IsHostable composes HasSlug, route model binding works by slug automatically. Define your routes with the model's route parameter placeholder:

Route::get('/{page}', PageController::class);
// or for nested:
Route::get('/{parent}/{page}', PageController::class);
