That sounds good until you realize you now have two sources of truth, do you trust
enabled
orenabled_date
? If you really want to go this routeenabled
should be a virtual field that checksenabled_date
in the background so you can have the boolean semantics but still keep a single field.I also used booleans a lot previously but since using Laravel I have come to enjoy the
updated_at
,created_at
anddeleted_at
fields that it automatically creates and I follow this format as well now if I need more.
