Trim all strings in a Laravel Model before they are saved

trim-strings-in-laravel-model-on-save.md

public static function boot() {
    parent::boot();

    // Trim all string attributes before they are saved
    static::saving(function($model){
        $attributes = collect($model->getAttributes())->map(function ($attribute) {
            if (is_string($attribute)) {
                return trim($attribute);
            }
            return $attribute;
        });

        $model->forceFill($attributes->toArray());
    });
}

Where is this code placed?

Probably overrides the boot() method of an Eloquent Model (so try it in one of those), but its been a long time since I wrote that, probably about 5 Laravel versions!
