Casts for json fields

[projct1]

This is not working now:

class Birthday extends Model
{
    protected $casts = [
        'birthday->day_from' => 'integer',
        'birthday->day_to' => 'integer',
        'birthday->kitchen' => 'boolean',
        'birthday->kitchen_percent' => 'integer',
        'birthday->kitchen_percent_equals_age' => 'boolean',
        'birthday->alcohol' => 'boolean',
        'birthday->alcohol_percent' => 'integer',
        'birthday->alcohol_percent_equals_age' => 'boolean',
        'birthday->hookah' => 'boolean',
        'birthday->hookah_percent' => 'integer',
        'birthday->hookah_percent_equals_age' => 'boolean'
    ];
}

Will be good got this feature like $fillable json fields https://laravel.com/docs/11.x/eloquent#mass-assignment-json-columns

Tests are passing. Do you have a reproducible result in which they are not? Or at minimum a repository for reproduction? Thanks!

1. Clone this repo https://github.com/projct1/laravel-json-casts
2. Run php artisan migrate
3. Run php artisan serve
4. Open link.

User model contains casts function and $fillable property:

protected $fillable = [
    'name',
    'email',
    'data',
    'password',
];

protected function casts(): array
{
    return [
        'data' => 'json',
        'email_verified_at' => 'datetime',
        'password' => 'hashed',
        'data->custom_value' => 'bool',
    ];
}

But after creating model:

Route::get('/', function () {
    return App\Models\User::create([
        'name' => 'Test',
        'email' => '[email protected]',
        'password' => Hash::make('password'),
        'data' => [
            'custom_value' => 1
        ]
    ]);
});

Data->custom_value still 1, not bool.

Thanks! Yeah, I see what you mean now. I looked through the recent releases but didn’t notice anything that might have caused this. Do you know when you first noticed the issue (between specific versions)?

Also, has this ever worked for casts before? It does make sense, but I’m just trying to understand—when you say it’s not working now, did it previously work?

I can't say for sure, but approximately after version 11.33.2.

I started specifying specific keys for json fields in $fillable and $casts quite recently. Up until now I was just using json:

protected $fillable = [
    'data'
];

protected function casts(): array
{
    return [
        'data' => 'json'
    ];
}

By the way, here is similar problem, i guess #53830
