Wovosoft\BkbOffice\Models\OfficeType #

A short discussion #

There are seven types of offices of Bangladesh Krishi Bank. These are listed below:

1. Divisional Offices (GM/DO) => do
2. Chief Regional / Regional Office (CRM/RM) => crm_rm
3. Branches => br
4. Divisional Audit Offices => dao
5. Regional Audit Offices => rao
6. Corporate Branches => cb
7. Departments of Head Office => ho

Why do we need this model? #

The answer of this question is good to know. Because, when we are using enum Wovosoft\BkbOffices\Enums\OfficeTypes then why do we need a model for same types?

The answer, is The records of OfficeType model has same identical type values of the enum Wovosoft\BkbOffices\Enums\OfficeTypes. In all other cases whenever we need office type the enum should be used. But when we want offices of a certain type in ORM style we will use The OfficeType model.

use \Wovosoft\BkbOffices\Models\OfficeType;
use \Wovosoft\BkbOffices\Enums\OfficeTypes;

$ot=OfficeType::whereType(OfficeTypes::RegionalAuditOffice)->first();
$ot->offices->toArray();

Also, using a separate table can let us holds extra info for a type, which is not possible by enums.
