How to deal with encrypted data when editing

[migs87]

What seems to be the problem:
I have certain database fields that need to be encrypted due to law and currently, I am using a Trait called Encryptable where the encryption and decryption are done.
When editing it is pulling the encrypted data and it is not decrypting it.

I am using livewire version 2

Trait:
<?PHP

namespace App\Traits;

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Crypt;

trait Encryptable
{
    public function getAttribute($key)
    {
        $value = parent::getAttribute($key);

        if (in_array($key, $this->encryptable)) {
            $value = Crypt::decryptString($value);
        }

        return $value;
    }

    public function setAttribute($key, $value)
    {
        if (in_array($key, $this->encryptable)) {
            $value = Crypt::encryptString($value);
        }

        return parent::setAttribute($key, $value);
    }
}

Model

protected $encryptable = [
'identity_number',
];

Livewire Component

public function rules()
{
    return [
        'user.identity_number' => 'required',
    ];
}

Blade File

<x-form.group>
    <x-form.input.group label="{!! trans('global.form.label.identity_number') !!}" 
       for="user.identity_number">
             <x-form.input.text
                    wire:model.lazy="user.identity_number"
                    type="text"
                    id="user.identity_number"
                    name="user.identity_number"
                    :value="old('user.identity_number')"
                    class="{{ ($errors->first('user.identity_number')) ? 'is-invalid' : ''}}" />
              <x-form.input.validation-error for="user.identity_number" />
           </x-form.input.group>
     </x-form.group>

This is what is shown when editing

Hey, @migs87

Take a look at this thread:

Livewire Security Issues

you can use Crypt facade in Laravel with build in encrypt and decrypt methods and ending up the method in your controller with try and catch like this: in your view: ... wire:click="profileClick(Crypt::encrypt(''2270ef7f-8fc1-11ea-92e3-0050563cf67f'))" ... in your controller ... $file = request('your request name here'); try { $key = $file; $file = Crypt::decrypt($key); } catch (DecryptException $e) { return abort(422); }…

Thanks, @skywalker, I really appreciate the response.

I did have a look at that thread and I did try it out but I did not come right. The Trait I created might be conflicting.

I did however manage to resolve the issue by adding the following to the mount method.

Liverwire Component

public function mount(User $user)
{
    $this->identityNumber = $user->identity_number;
}

Added:

public $identityNumber = null;

And then changed the following:

Liverwire Component

public function rules()
{
    return [
        'identityNumber' => 'required',
    ];
}

Blade File

<x-form.group>
    <x-form.input.group label="{!! trans('global.form.label.identity_number') !!}" for="identityNumber">
         <x-form.input.text
             wire:model.lazy="identityNumber"
             type="text"
             id="identityNumber"
            name="identityNumber"
            :value="old('identityNumber')"
            class="{{ ($errors->first('identityNumber')) ? 'is-invalid' : ''}}" />
      <x-form.input.validation-error for="identityNumber" />
  </x-form.input.group> 
</x-form.group>
