🚀 Easy Model v1.2.0
This release focused on making querying more powerful, relationship ordering more reliable, and error handling more consistent.
🔎 Better Searching & Filtering
Add grouped keyword searches and common array-driven conditions:
📊 Relationship Aggregate Ordering
Order models using relationship counts and aggregates:
🔗 Advanced Relationship Ordering
`addOrderBy()` now provides first-class join support for complex relationships including `MorphOne`, `MorphMany`, `MorphToMany`, `HasOneThrough`, and `HasManyThrough`.
⚠️ Better Exception Handling
All package exceptions now implement a common `EasyModelException` interface, use named constructors, and are based on standard SPL exception types for more consistent error handling.
🔄 Safer Query Reuse
New `flushSearchable()` and `flushUpdatable()` methods make it safer to reuse trait state, while searchable pipelines can now return a single model instance directly.
🛠️ Important Fixes
The release also fixes relationship foreign-key resolution, `LEFT JOIN` row loss, Eloquent builder downgrading, invalid array structures, single-model updates, and incorrect `includeSoftDeleted()` behavior.
Easy Model v1.2.0 lays the groundwork for a more powerful and reliable Eloquent experience.
