How to use custom function in Model to format Data - laravel

Question

What I Want to do
I want to convert URLs to tags like this:
あいうえおかきくけこhttp://localhostさしすせそたちつてと
↓
あいうえおかきくけこhttp://localhostさしすせそたちつてと
I want to use a custom Function in Model to do it.
What I did
I added this to my model:
class hogehoge extend Model {
public function convertUrlToLink($value)
{
// URLをaタグで囲む
$pattern = '/((?:https?|ftp):\/\/[-_.!~*\'()a-zA-Z0-9;\/?:#&=+$,%#]+)/';
$replace = '$1';
$text = preg_replace($pattern, $replace, $value);
return $text;
}
}
and called it like this:
Hogehoge::first(1)->text->convertUrlToLink()
But this gives an error:
Call to a member function convertUrlToLink() on string (View: /app/resources/views/club/show.blade.php)
How can I make custom Function in Model and use it in my templates?

Answer 1

You can access your attribute text directly in the model
class Hogehoge extend Model {
public function convertUrlToLink()
{
// URLをaタグで囲む
$pattern = '/((?:https?|ftp):\/\/[-_.!~*\'()a-zA-Z0-9;\/?:#&=+$,%#]+)/';
$replace = '$1';
$text = preg_replace($pattern, $replace, $this->text);
return $text;
}
}
Then you don't need it there
Hogehoge::first(1)->convertUrlToLink()
If it needs to be reusable, I would do a static method (that's only a preference)
public static function convertUrlToLink($value)
{
// URLをaタグで囲む
$pattern = '/((?:https?|ftp):\/\/[-_.!~*\'()a-zA-Z0-9;\/?:#&=+$,%#]+)/';
$replace = '$1';
$text = preg_replace($pattern, $replace, $value);
return $text;
}
Then you use it like this
Hogehoge::convertUrlToLink(Hogehoge::first(1)->text)
Hogehoge::convertUrlToLink(Hogehoge::first(1)->someAnotherText)
