Laravel DB Encrypter is a package by Daniel Częstki that automatically encrypts and decrypts values stored in database fields. It uses Laravel’s standard Encryption via a trait:
use betterapp\LaravelDbEncrypter\Traits\EncryptableDbAttribute; class Client extends Eloquent{ use EncryptableDbAttribute; /** @var array The attributes that should be encrypted/decrypted */ protected $encryptable = [ 'id_number', 'email', ];}
Note: encrypted values are longer than their plain text counterparts. The package recommends storing data as a TEXT
column:
If your current data is not encrypted, the column will be returned as-is. You can check out the package on GitHub at betterapp/laravel-db-encrypter.
