Ryan Chandler comes up with a flat-file driver for Laravel Eloquent known as Orbit. It enables you to replace your generic database with original files that you can handle using the methods you’re familiar with.
You can employ it as general-purpose “flat-file CMS in any of your web applications.” It can be appended to any Laravel Model class and permits you to save data in flat files on a disk.

Installation

Orbit is a handy package that can provide flat-file support to any Laravel model class. To install Orbit, you’ve to run the following command in your project.

composer require ryangjchandler/orbit

Usage

Next, you’ve to create a Laravel model and use the Orbit\Concerns\Orbital trait.

use Orbit\Concerns\Orbital trait.
class Post extends Model
{
    use \Orbit\Concerns\Orbital;
}

The Orbital trait is qualified for hooking into the Eloquent lifecycle and assuring all of your interactions are managed correctly.

Defining the Schema

Same as database migration, you’ve to specify the different pieces of data that your Orbit model can have. You’ve to append a public static function schema(Blueprint $table) method to your model.

This method will need to receive an instance of
Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint, just like a migration.

use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;

class Post extends Model
{
    use \Orbit\Concerns\Orbital;

    public static function schema(Blueprint $table)
    {
        $table->string('title');
        $table->string('slug');
        $table->timestamp('published_at');
    }
}

Drivers

Orbit is a driver-based package, building it very straightforward to change the storage format of your data.

It supports the following drivers out of the box:

• md -> Orbit\Drivers\Markdown
• json -> Orbit\Drivers\Json
• yaml -> Orbit\Drivers\Yaml
• md_json -> Orbit\Drivers\MarkdownJson

You are free to specify custom drivers utilizing the given interface contained in the Orbit package.

Changing drivers

If you prefer to use a different driver for one of your models, you can append a public static $driver property to your model and specify the value to the name of a driver.

class Post extends Model
{
    use Orbital;

    public static $driver = 'json';
}
