We never plan to extend a model, and value composition over inheritance. We need to add the AllowDynamicProperties warning to prevent PHPStan errors that arise with pivot relations (https://www.github.com/larastan/larastan/issues/2256).
Use a 1-1 relation. Cache it indefinitely to reduce queries for every http request. This will make it much easier to add additional user settings for various site features without sacrificing clean code or performance.
- Laravel 11 introduces a new default application structure with fewer default files. Namely, new Laravel applications contain fewer service providers, middleware, and configuration files.
However, it is not recommend that Laravel 10 applications upgrading to Laravel 11 attempt to migrate their application structure, as Laravel 11 has been carefully tuned to also support the Laravel 10 application structure.
- this resolves some larastan property issues but in return has revealed quite a few issues with our castings and such. baseline has been regenerated so we can work through them. The properties in docblocks are in order and match everything in DB schema wise.
