Schema Requirements

Encrypted values are usually longer than plain text values, sometimes much longer. You may find that the column widths in your database tables need to be altered to store the encrypted values generated by this package.

We highly recommend to alter your column types to TEXT or LONGTEXT

Installation

Step 1: Composer

Via Composer command line:

composer require phpcodersnp/laravel-database-encryption

Step 2: Add ServiceProvider to your app/config.php file (Laravel 5.4 or below)

Add the service provider to the providers array in the config/app.php config file as follows:

'providers' => [
    ...
    \PHPCodersNp\DBEncryption\Providers\DBEncryptionServiceProvider::class,
],

Step 3: Publish the config file using the following Artisan command:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="PHPCodersNp\DBEncryption\Providers\DBEncryptionServiceProvider"

For Lumen Projects

Configure Config File

cp vendor/phpcodersnp/laravel-database-encryption/src/Config/config.php config/laravelDatabaseEncryption.php

Register Config and Package

Copy below code and paste it in bootstrap/app.php

$app->configure('laravelDatabaseEncryption');
$app->register(PHPCodersNp\DBEncryption\Providers\DBEncryptionServiceProvider::class);

Usage

Use the EncryptedAttribute trait in any Eloquent model that you wish to apply encryption to and define a protected $encrypted array containing a list of the attributes to encrypt.

For example:

use PHPCodersNp\DBEncryption\Traits\EncryptedAttribute;

class User extends Eloquent {
    use EncryptedAttribute;

    /**
        * The attributes that should be encrypted on save.
        *
        * @var array
        */
    protected $encryptable = [
        'first_name', 'last_name', 'email'
    ];
}

By including the EncryptedAttribute trait, the setAttribute(), getAttribute() and getAttributeFromArray() methods provided by Eloquent are overridden to include an additional step.

Encrypt your current data

If you have current data in your database you can encrypt it with this command:

php artisan encryptable:encryptModel 'App\Models\User'

Additionally you can decrypt it using this command:

php artisan encryptable:decryptModel 'App\Models\User'

Note: You must implement first the Encryptable trait and set $encryptable attributes

Exists and Unique Validation Rules

If you are using exists and unique rules with encrypted values replace it with exists_encrypted and unique_encrypted

$validator = validator(['email'=>'foo@bar.com'], ['email'=>'exists_encrypted:users,email']);
$validator = validator(['email'=>'foo@bar.com'], ['email'=>'unique_encrypted:users,email']);

Frequently Asked Question

Can I search encrypted data?

YES! You will able to search on attributes which are encrypted by this package because. If you need to search on data then use the whereEncrypted and orWhereEncrypted function:

User::whereEncrypted('email','test@gmail.com')
        ->orWhereEncrypted('email','test2@gmail.com')
        ->first();

It will automatically added on the eloquent once the model uses EncryptedAttribute
