How better to work with money on mysql / laravel site ?

[petrogromovo]

Working with money in php 8 /laravel 9 site for money fields I use integer in mysql db and custom cast app/Casts/MoneyCast.php like :

 

<?php

namespace App\Casts;

use Illuminate\Contracts\Database\Eloquent\CastsAttributes;

class MoneyCast implements CastsAttributes
{

    public function get($model, string $key, $value, array $attributes)
    {
        return round(floatval($value) / 100, 2);
    }

    public function set($model, string $key, $value, array $attributes)
    {
        return floatval($value) * 100;
    }
}

 

It seems quite good for me, but I found some referance to libraries

https://github.com/brick/money
and
https://github.com/akaunting/laravel-money

and wonder if some of which library is preferable for working in laravel ?
Would it be better or safer ?

Thanks in advance!
