Models

Redot Core ships a handful of Eloquent models that back its settings, localization, and passwordless-auth features. Most of the time you interact with them through the higher-level helpers and features documented elsewhere; this page covers using the models directly.

Setting

Reads and writes application settings. You usually read via the setting() helper, but the model is available for writes and direct access:

use Redot\Models\Setting;

Setting::set('app_name', ['en' => 'My App']);
$primary = Setting::get('theme.primary');

See Settings for the full reference — schema, defaults, validation, and the setting() helper.

Language

Represents an available locale (its code, display name, and text direction).

use Redot\Models\Language;

$current = Language::current();      // the language for the active locale
$direction = $current->direction;    // 'rtl' or 'ltr'
$current->tokens;                    // its translation entries

Route-model binding resolves a language by its locale code, so a route parameter like /languages/ar/... loads the Arabic language.

Language::create([
    'code'   => 'fr',
    'name'   => 'Français',
    'is_rtl' => false,
]);

LanguageToken

A single translation entry (key/value) belonging to a language. These are populated and maintained by the localization tooling. Compose its scopes to query by state:

• published() / unpublished() — written back to disk, or not yet.
• modified() / notModified() — value differs from the extracted original.
• fromJson() / notFromJson() — from the JSON catalog vs. PHP language files.

Editing a token's value automatically marks it unpublished until it is re-published.

$language->tokens()->fromJson()->pluck('value', 'key');
$language->tokens()->unpublished()->modified()->get();

See Localization for the workflow.

LoginToken

Backs passwordless sign-in (magic link + one-time code). Each token targets an email under a guard and expires after a configurable window.

use Redot\Models\LoginToken;

// Issue a fresh token (replaces any prior token for the same email + guard).
$token = LoginToken::generate($user->email, 'admins');

// Look one up — only non-expired, matching-guard tokens are returned.
LoginToken::findByToken($token->token, 'admins');
LoginToken::findByCode($code, $user->email, 'admins');

Issuing a token replaces any existing one for the same email and guard. The expiry window comes from config('auth.magic_link.expire') (default 15 minutes). See Authentication for the full flow.
