# Operator Model Conversion

## Original Django Model Structure

### Company Model (Now Operator)
```python
class Company(TrackedModel):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
    slug = models.SlugField(max_length=255, unique=True)
    website = models.URLField(blank=True)
    headquarters = models.CharField(max_length=255, blank=True)
    description = models.TextField(blank=True)
    total_parks = models.IntegerField(default=0)
    total_rides = models.IntegerField(default=0)
```

### Manufacturer Model
```python
class Manufacturer(TrackedModel):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
    slug = models.SlugField(max_length=255, unique=True)
    website = models.URLField(blank=True)
    headquarters = models.CharField(max_length=255, blank=True)
    description = models.TextField(blank=True)
    total_rides = models.IntegerField(default=0)
    total_roller_coasters = models.IntegerField(default=0)
```

## Laravel Implementation Plan

### Database Migrations

1. Create operators table:
```php
Schema::create('operators', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->id();
    $table->string('name');
    $table->string('slug')->unique();
    $table->string('website')->nullable();
    $table->string('headquarters')->nullable();
    $table->text('description')->nullable();
    $table->integer('total_parks')->default(0);
    $table->integer('total_rides')->default(0);
    $table->timestamps();
});
```

2. Create manufacturers table:
```php
Schema::create('manufacturers', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->id();
    $table->string('name');
    $table->string('slug')->unique();
    $table->string('website')->nullable();
    $table->string('headquarters')->nullable();
    $table->text('description')->nullable();
    $table->integer('total_rides')->default(0);
    $table->integer('total_roller_coasters')->default(0);
    $table->timestamps();
});
```

### Models

1. Operator Model:
- Implement Sluggable trait
- Add relationships (parks)
- Add statistics updating methods
- Add slug history functionality

2. Manufacturer Model:
- Implement Sluggable trait
- Add relationships (rides)
- Add statistics updating methods
- Add slug history functionality

### Next Steps
1. [ ] Create operators table migration
2. [ ] Create manufacturers table migration
3. [ ] Create Operator model
4. [ ] Create Manufacturer model
5. [ ] Implement statistics update methods
