Use PHP 8 attributes to register eloquent model observers in a Laravel app

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require thomascombe/laravel-observer-attributes

You can publish the config file with:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Thomascombe\ObserverAttributes\ObserverAttributesServiceProvider" --tag="laravel-observer-attributes-config"

This is the contents of the published config file:

return [
    'directories' => [
        app_path('Models'),
    ],
];

Usage

Add single observer to model:

use App\Observers\UserObserver;

#[Observer(UserObserver::class)]
class User extends Authenticatable 
{

}

It's just like:

User::observe(UserObserver::class);

in EventServiceProvider

Add multiples observers to model:

use App\Observers\EntityObserver;
use App\Observers\UserObserver;

#[Observer(UserObserver::class, EntityObserver::class)]
class User extends Authenticatable 
{

}

Testing

composer test
