Octopus - Infinite Connectivity System

Octopus is a Laravel Eloquent Extension for Infinite Polymorphic Relationship Interface.

Octopus is accessible, powerful, and provides connectivity required for large, robust applications.

What is Octopus?

Octopus allows any Model to connect to any other Laravel Model on the fly. The core of Octopus is a unified partitioned table called tags, that contains all the connections between tables, allowing a pure database design, where tables remain pure and decoupled from each other, yet they are able to communicate and connect to each other seamlessly via a partitioned and indexed "matrix" table.
