Pushing polymorphism to the database
After giving excellent talks at both Laracons, contributing to Laravel's new ACL, putting out an interesting Full Stack Radio episode with Wes Bos, Adam Wathan today published a new screencast. He is now officially on a roll.
After my presentation at Laracon this year, a lot of people asked me how I'd take that same polymorphic approach when the objects would have to be retrieved from the database.http://adamwathan.me/2015/09/03/pushing-polymorphism-to-the-databaseThis screencast covers how I'd approach implementing the same idea in a real Laravel application with Eloquent, by using polymorphic relationships and delegation to accomplish the same thing without having to resort to any nasty conditionals.
What are your thoughts on "Pushing polymorphism to the database"?
