Eloquent cast to collection

[innocenzi]

Hey,

Right now it's possible to cast a collection of data objects with the following syntax:

protected $casts = [
    'contract_cancellation_terms' => DataCollection::class.':'.CancellationTermData::class
]

Would you be open to a PR implementing something along the lines of CancellationTermData::castTo(DataCollection::class)?

Asking before PRing in order to get ideas on the syntax. I'd like a static method of some sort because the colon concatenation is not a nice syntax.

Hi @innocenzi,

If I'm not mistaken it is not allowed to use a static method in a constant expression like you're proposing here. My IDE provides me with a lot of red lines if I try something like this 😄

Aaah that is a very good point lol. Nevermind the suggestion then 😅

Yeah have made that mistake quite a lot myself 😅, congrats on the release of Hybridly btw
