License Meta Model

DB Table Name	{wp_db_prefix}_fct_license_meta
Schema	Check Schema
Source File	fluent-cart-pro/app/Modules/Licensing/Models/LicenseMeta.php
Name Space	FluentCartPro\App\Modules\Licensing\Models
Class	FluentCartPro\App\Modules\Licensing\Models\LicenseMeta
Plugin	FluentCart Pro

Properties

• Table: fct_license_meta
• Primary Key: id
• Guarded: ['id']
• Fillable: ['object_id', 'object_type', 'meta_key', 'meta_value']

Note on Schema

The fillable attributes use object_id and object_type (not license_id). This is a polymorphic-style meta table that can store meta for different object types.

Attributes

Attribute	Data Type	Comment
id	Integer	Primary Key
object_id	Integer	Reference to the parent object (e.g., license ID)
object_type	String	Type of the parent object
meta_key	String	Meta key name
meta_value	Text	Meta value (auto JSON encode/decode via accessor/mutator)
created_at	Date Time	Creation timestamp
updated_at	Date Time	Last update timestamp

Usage

Please check Model Basic for Common methods.

Accessing Attributes

$licenseMeta = FluentCartPro\App\Modules\Licensing\Models\LicenseMeta::find(1);

$licenseMeta->id; // returns id
$licenseMeta->object_id; // returns object ID
$licenseMeta->object_type; // returns object type
$licenseMeta->meta_key; // returns meta key
$licenseMeta->meta_value; // returns meta value (auto-decoded from JSON if applicable)

Methods

Along with Global Model methods, this model has few helper methods.

getMetaValueAttribute($value)

Get meta value with automatic JSON decoding (accessor). If the stored value is a JSON string, it is decoded to an array. Otherwise returns the original value.

• Parameters
  • $value - mixed
• Returns mixed - array if valid JSON string, otherwise original value

Usage

$metaValue = $licenseMeta->meta_value; // Returns array if JSON, original value otherwise

setMetaValueAttribute($value)

Set meta value with automatic JSON encoding (mutator). Arrays and objects are JSON encoded before storage.

• Parameters
  • $value - array|object|string
• Returns void

Usage

// Set array value (will be JSON encoded)
$licenseMeta->meta_value = ['site_url' => 'https://example.com', 'activated_at' => '2024-01-01'];

// Set string value (stored as-is)
$licenseMeta->meta_value = 'simple string value';

Usage Examples

Get License Meta

$licenseMeta = FluentCartPro\App\Modules\Licensing\Models\LicenseMeta::where('object_id', 123)
    ->where('meta_key', 'activation_data')
    ->first();

if ($licenseMeta) {
    $data = $licenseMeta->meta_value; // Returns array (auto-decoded)
}

Set License Custom Meta

FluentCartPro\App\Modules\Licensing\Models\LicenseMeta::updateOrCreate(
    [
        'object_id' => 123,
        'object_type' => 'license',
        'meta_key' => 'custom_field'
    ],
    [
        'meta_value' => ['value' => 'custom data', 'type' => 'text']
    ]
);

Get All Meta for an Object

$metaData = FluentCartPro\App\Modules\Licensing\Models\LicenseMeta::where('object_id', 123)
    ->where('object_type', 'license')
    ->pluck('meta_value', 'meta_key')
    ->toArray();

Create License Meta

$licenseMeta = FluentCartPro\App\Modules\Licensing\Models\LicenseMeta::create([
    'object_id' => 123,
    'object_type' => 'license',
    'meta_key' => 'renewal_info',
    'meta_value' => ['auto_renew' => true, 'next_date' => '2025-01-01']
]);

Update License Meta

$licenseMeta = FluentCartPro\App\Modules\Licensing\Models\LicenseMeta::find(1);
$licenseMeta->update([
    'meta_value' => ['updated_value' => true]
]);

Get Meta by Key

$activationMetas = FluentCartPro\App\Modules\Licensing\Models\LicenseMeta::where('meta_key', 'activation_data')->get();

Delete License Meta

$licenseMeta = FluentCartPro\App\Modules\Licensing\Models\LicenseMeta::find(1);
$licenseMeta->delete();
