The Address model
RoundlyConsulting\Addresses\Address is a regular Eloquent model backing the addresses table. It is non-final so you can extend it, uses HasFactory and SoftDeletes, and leaves every attribute mass-assignable ($guarded = []).
| Attribute | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
id | int | Primary key. |
addressable_type / addressable_id | string / key | The owner’s morph pair. |
is_primary | bool | Cast to bool. |
type | AddressType|string | AddressTypeCast: the AddressType case for a built-in key, the key for a custom type. typeKey() is always the string. |
name | ?string | Optional label. |
city, street, postal_code | ?string | The address lines. |
country_iso | ?string | The stored ISO code. |
country_name | ?string | Accessor — resolved through a CountryResolver, never stored. |
meta | ?Collection | Collection cast over the JSON column. |
created_at, updated_at, deleted_at | ?Carbon | Timestamps and the soft-delete marker. |
$address->addressable; // the owning model (Customer, Company, …)
$address->type; // AddressType::Billing — a custom type reads as its key
$address->typeKey(); // 'billing' — the stored string, built-in or custom
$address->typeLabel(); // 'Billing'
$address->is_primary; // bool
$address->country_iso; // 'SK'
$address->country_name; // resolved name, or null without a resolverThe type column is cast with Casts\AddressTypeCast, not Laravel’s enum cast (which throws on a custom key): a built-in key reads as its AddressType case, a custom key as the string, and assigning a type that is not configured throws InvalidAddressTypeException. typeKey() returns the stored key and typeLabel() its label (see Address types).
Meta
meta holds anything address-related that does not deserve a column — a floor, a gate code, delivery notes. It is stored as JSON and cast back to an Illuminate\Support\Collection, or null when nothing was set:
$address = $customer->newAddress()
->in('Bratislava')->at('Somewhere 1')->postalCode('81101')->country('SK')
->meta(['floor' => 3, 'gate_code' => '1234'])
->save();
$address->meta->get('floor'); // 3
$address->meta?->get('gate_code'); // '1234' — meta is null when none was setFormatted label
formatted() builds a single-line label from the populated parts — name, street, postal code with city, and the country code — skipping any that are empty. Pass a separator to replace the default comma:
$payer->primaryAddress()?->formatted();
// "HQ, Somewhere 1, 81101 Bratislava, SK"
$address->formatted(' | ');
// "HQ | Somewhere 1 | 81101 Bratislava | SK"
// empty parts are skipped — the same kind of address without a name:
// "Main 2, 04001 Košice, SK"The label uses the ISO code, not a resolved country name, so it is the same whether or not a CountryResolver is bound.
