Use Laravels Crypt::encrypt/decrypt with Eloquents setColAttribute/getColAttribute? :)

The above code works successfully, but it's a pain to implement. That was going to be my next question - what's the best way to transparently use MySQL encryption with Eloquent? Can't find any documentation on those 2 methods?

I'm looking for this as well.

Using Acessors and Mutators don't help you? I found it as the easy way to handle data modification when saving and reading from DB.

Its 2017 !

Is there any better way to do this yet ??

I'm in real need of this.

I just used an accessor:

# Controller
$model->fill([ 'password' => '12345' ]);

# Model
public function setPasswordAttribute($value)
{
    $this->attributes['password'] = DB::raw("AES_ENCRYPT('$value', 'some-key')");
}
