addGlobalScopeを使って分かりやすいソースコードを書きましょう

Members

 | ID | name  | role   | email 
 |-------------------------
 | 1  | 一郎  | admin  | [e-mail]
 | 2  | 次郎  | guest  | [e-mail]
 | 3  | 三郎  | admin  | [e-mail]

以前の書き方：

old_version.php

$admin = Memeber::where('role', 'admin')->get();
$guest = Memeber::where('role', 'guest')->get();

現在の書き方：

new_version.php

$admin = Admin::all();
$guest = Guest::all();

App\Member.php

class Member extends Model
{
    protected $table = 'members';
}

App\Admin.php

use App\Member;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Builder;

class Admin extends Member
{
    protected static function boot()
    {
        parent::boot();
        static::addGlobalScope('role_admin', function(Builder $builder) {
            $builder->where('role', 'admin');
        });
    }
}

App\Guest.php

use App\Member;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Builder;

class Guest extends Member
{
    protected static function boot()
    {
        parent::boot();
        static::addGlobalScope('role_guest', function(Builder $builder) {
            $builder->where('role', 'guest');
        });
    }
}

以上です。

感想

グローバルスコープを利用して、明示的なモデル名を使えば、ソースコードがもっと分かりやすくなります。
