Installation

This version is compatible with Laravel 5.4 and 5.3. For Laravel 5.2 compatibility see the branch 1.0.

Install via composer:

composer require marceauka/laravel-crudable

Then register the service provider in your config/app.php.

// After other service providers
Akibatech\Crud\CrudServiceProvider::class

Finally, publish resources:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=crud

This command will publish language files and views for easy customization.

Usage

Add the trait Crudable to your Eloquent Model, then implement the required method getCrudFields

Example model:

class Post extends Model
{
    use Crudable;
    
    /**
     * @return \Akibatech\Crud\Services\CrudFields
     */
    public function getCrudFields()
    {
        return CrudFields::make([
            // Bind the title attribute to a required Text Field.
            TextField::handle('title', 'required|min:3')->withPlaceholder('Title of the post'),
            
            // Bind the introduction attribute to a required Textarea Field.
            TextareaField::handle('introduction', 'required|min:3')->withPlaceholder('Short introduction'),
            
            // Bind the content attribute to a Tinymce Field
            TinymceField::handle('content', 'required'),
            
            // Bind the illustration attribute to a file upload allowing 10Mb JPG or PNG picture
            FileUploadField::handle('illustration')->withMaxSize(1024 * 1024)->withTypes('jpeg,png'),
            
            // Bind the status attribute to a Radio Field allowing Draft or Live options.
            RadioField::handle('status', 'required')->withOptions([0 => 'Draft', 1 => 'Live'])
        ]);
    }
}

Display the table of entries

In your controller:

    public function index()
    {
        $model = App\Post::class;
        
        return view('your-view', compact($model));
    }

In your view:

@crudtable($model)

Display the entry create form

In your controller:

    public function create()
    {
        $model = App\Post::class;
        
        return view('your-view', compact($model));
    }
    
    public function store(Request $request)
    {
        $entry = (new App\Post)->crudEntry();
        $validation = $entry->validate($request->all());
        
        if ($validation->passes())
        {
            $validation->save();
        }
        
        // Redirect to the form with the errors if validation fails, or to the index page  
        return $validation->redirect();
    }

In your view:

@crudentry($model)

Fields

Fields are the way to bind your model attributes to powerful behaviors and reusable view components.

At this stage, you can use TextField, TextareaField, RadioField, EmailField, TinymceField, FileUploadField, SelectRelationField and DatePickerField, but many others are planned.

Controller and routes

By default each crudded model needs a Controller.

You can scaffold it with the command make:crud:controller <controller-name> <model-name>.
Ex: artisan make:crud:controller PostsController Post.

This command will generate a CRUD ready controller for your model with some scaffolded views but it's up to you to customize them.

Once generated, your need to register routes like this:

// routes/web.php
App\Post::crudRoutes();

Customizing

All views are customizable and are stored in resources/views/vendor/crud.

Complete documentation: Customize Views

Tests

You can launch tests with

vendor/bin/phpunit
