[Attributes for Laravel](https://roundly-consulting.com/open-source/docs/attributes-for-laravel.md)

# Artisan commands

```bash
# List the attributes attached to an owner record:
php artisan attributes:list "App\Models\Product" 42

# Permanently delete soft-deleted attributes older than N days (default from config):
php artisan attributes:prune --days=30 --force
```

## attributes:list

Prints a Name / Type / Value / Meta table for one owner record, sorted by name. The first argument is the owner type — the model class, or the alias stored in owner\_type if you use a morph map; under a morph map a class name is mapped to its alias, so both work:

```bash
# With a morph map, the alias stored in owner_type works as well as the class:
php artisan attributes:list product 42
```

## attributes:prune

Permanently deletes soft-deleted attributes whose deleted\_at is older than --days (default: prune\_after\_days, 30). It asks for confirmation unless you pass --force, then runs Attributes::prune($days) — so schedule it with --force, or schedule the facade call directly. --days must be a whole number (0 or more); anything else fails the command instead of being read as 0 and purging every trashed attribute:

```php
// routes/console.php
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schedule;
use RoundlyConsulting\Attributes\Facades\Attributes;

Schedule::command('attributes:prune --force')->daily();

// ...or call what the command runs
Schedule::call(fn () => Attributes::prune())->daily();
```

## about

The package reports its configuration to Laravel’s about command — model, table, strict mode, history, prune age and the number of definitions (and how many are encrypted). Definition names are never printed:

```bash
php artisan about --only=attributes
```
