Adding container support to Laravel models

Containers

Purpose of this repository is to provide container support to any Laravel model.

Container is an entity for organizing multiple resources under a single logical unit.

Example

Having a contacts table:

ID  First name
1   Foo 
2   Bar
3   Baz
4   Boo
5   Far
6   Faz

You can logically organize it in 2 containers:

ID  Name
1   F named
2   B named

Resulting in an organized contacts table

ID  First name  Container ID
1   Foo         1   
2   Bar         2
3   Baz         2
4   Boo         2
5   Far         1
6   Faz         1
