 "title": "Save typed decisions in an Eloquent JSON column",
 "page_title": "How to save typed decisions in an Eloquent JSON column with Laya PHP",
 "summary": "Cast a model attribute to a decision class so the result reads back as a typed object.",
 "who": "A Laravel developer who wants to keep each classification result on the record it describes, without writing parsing code.",
 "problem": "Storing classification output as loose arrays loses the enum and type information, and every read needs manual conversion.",
 "outcome": "The model attribute holds a typed decision, and it reads back with enums and floats intact.",
 "steps": [
  "Run `composer require marcreichel/laya-php` in your Laravel app.",
  "Add `'triage' => AsDecision::of(Triage::class)` to the model's `casts()` method, with a JSON column named `triage`.",
  "Assign the result with `$ticket->triage = $laya->decide($ticket->body, Triage::class);` and call `$ticket->save();`.",
  "Read a field back with `$ticket->triage->department;` to confirm it returns the enum case."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "In the marcreichel/laya-php repo, add an AsDecision cast for <decision class> on the <model> model's <json column>. Save one decision, reload the model and report the stored JSON and the read-back enum value. Verify that assigning a non-decision value throws InvalidDecisionCastException.",
 "agents": [

 ],
 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "45 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "Null attributes are stored as null, and lists and floats round-trip, but a JSON value with a missing key or an unknown enum value throws an exception.",

 "requirements": [
  "PHP 8.4+ and Composer",
  "A PSR-18 HTTP client such as Guzzle or Symfony HttpClient",
  "Docker, to run laya-serve from the repo's compose.yaml",
  "Laravel 13+ for the Laravel steps (service provider, artisan commands, validation rule, cast)"
