|
The Hypothetical website template
|
|
|
|
## Dashboard
|
|
|
|
Unless otherwise stated all examples in this section are to be added to `app/Http/Controllers/DashboardController.php`.
|
|
|
|
### Adding a Viewable Model to the Dashboard
|
|
|
|
#### Viewable List of Rows
|
|
|
|
First add a function to generate the page:
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
public function getContact()
|
|
{
|
|
return view('dashboard.view', [
|
|
'heading' => 'Contact Form Submissions',
|
|
'model' => 'contact',
|
|
'rows' => Contact::getContactSubmissions(),
|
|
'cols' => [
|
|
[ 'Date', 'created_at' ],
|
|
[ 'Name', 'name' ],
|
|
[ 'Email', 'email' ],
|
|
[ 'Message', 'message' ]
|
|
]
|
|
]);
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* `heading`: The title that will appear for this page
|
|
* `model`: The model that will be accessed on this page
|
|
* `rows`: A function returning an array containing the data to be shown on this page
|
|
* `cols`: An array containing a set of arrays where the first element of each is the visible column name and the second is the column name in the array
|
|
|
|
### Adding an Editable Model to the Dashboard
|
|
|
|
#### Editable List of Rows
|
|
|
|
##### Editable List for Unsortable Model
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
public function getShows()
|
|
{
|
|
return view('dashboard.edit-list', [
|
|
'heading' => 'Shows',
|
|
'model' => 'shows',
|
|
'rows' => Shows::getShowsList(),
|
|
'column' => 'title',
|
|
'sortcol' => false,
|
|
'delete' => true,
|
|
'create' => true,
|
|
'export' => true
|
|
]);
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
##### Editable List for Sortable Model
|
|
|
|
**NOTE**: Sortable models must have an entry configured in the `postReorder` function (details below)
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
public function getNews()
|
|
{
|
|
return view('dashboard.edit-list', [
|
|
'heading' => 'News',
|
|
'model' => 'news',
|
|
'rows' => News::getNewsList(),
|
|
'column' => 'title',
|
|
'sortcol' => 'order',
|
|
'delete' => false,
|
|
'create' => true,
|
|
'export' => true
|
|
]);
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* `heading`: The title that will appear for this page
|
|
* `model`: The model that will be accessed on this page
|
|
* `rows`: A function returning an array containing the data to be shown on this page
|
|
* `column`: The column name in the array that contains the data to display in each row
|
|
* `sortcol`: The name of the column containing the sort order or `false` to disable
|
|
* `delete`: A `delete` button will appear in the list if this is set to `true`
|
|
* `create`: A `new` button will appear in the heading if this is set to `true`
|
|
* `export`: An `export` button will appear in the heading if this is set to `true`
|
|
|
|
#### Editable Item
|
|
|
|
This function should be named the same as the one above except with `Edit` at the end
|
|
|
|
##### Editable Item for Unsortable Model
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
public function getShowsEdit($id = 'new')
|
|
{
|
|
if ($id != 'new') {
|
|
if (Shows::where('id', $id)->exists()) {
|
|
$item = Shows::where('id', $id)->first();
|
|
} else {
|
|
return view('errors.no-such-record');
|
|
}
|
|
} else {
|
|
$item = null;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
return view('dashboard.edit-item', [
|
|
'heading' => 'Shows',
|
|
'model' => 'shows',
|
|
'id' => $id,
|
|
'item' => $item,
|
|
'help_text' => '<strong>NOTE:</strong> This is some help text for the current page',
|
|
'columns' => [
|
|
[ 'name' => 'venue', 'type' => 'text' ],
|
|
[ 'name' => 'date', 'type' => 'date' ],
|
|
[ 'name' => 'address', 'type' => 'text' ],
|
|
[ 'name' => 'phone', 'type' => 'text' ],
|
|
[ 'name' => 'website', 'type' => 'text' ],
|
|
[ 'name' => 'cover', 'type' => 'text' ],
|
|
[ 'name' => 'description', 'type' => 'mkd' ]
|
|
]
|
|
]);
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
##### Editable Item for Sortable Model
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
public function getNewsEdit($id = 'new')
|
|
{
|
|
if ($id != 'new') {
|
|
if (News::where('id', $id)->exists()) {
|
|
$item = News::where('id', $id)->first();
|
|
} else {
|
|
return view('errors.no-such-record');
|
|
}
|
|
} else {
|
|
$item = new News();
|
|
$item['order'] = News::count();
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
return view('dashboard.edit-item', [
|
|
'heading' => 'News',
|
|
'model' => 'news',
|
|
'id' => $id,
|
|
'item' => $item,
|
|
'imgup' => true,
|
|
'columns' => [
|
|
[ 'name' => 'title', 'type' => 'text', 'label' => 'The Title' ],
|
|
[ 'name' => 'iframe', 'type' => 'text' ],
|
|
[ 'name' => 'halign', 'type' => 'select', 'options' => [ 'left', 'center', 'right' ] ],
|
|
[ 'name' => 'story', 'type' => 'mkd' ],
|
|
[ 'name' => 'order', 'type' => 'hidden' ]
|
|
]
|
|
]);
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* `heading`: The title that will appear for this page
|
|
* `model`: The model that will be accessed on this page
|
|
* `id`: Always set this to `$id`
|
|
* `item`: Always set this to `$item`
|
|
* `imgup`: Set this to `true` to enable image upload, otherwise set to `false`
|
|
* `help_text`: An optional value that will add a box containing help text above the form if set
|
|
* `columns`: An array containing a set of arrays where:
|
|
* `name` is the name of the column to be edited
|
|
* `type` is the type of column (details below)
|
|
* `label` is an optional value that overrides the visible column name
|
|
|
|
###### Editable Column Types
|
|
|
|
The following is a list of possible `types` in the `columns` array for Editable Items:
|
|
|
|
* `text`: Text input field for text data
|
|
* `mkd`: Markdown editor for text data containing markdown
|
|
* `date`: Date and time selection tool for date/time data
|
|
* `select`: Text input via option select with possible options in an `options` array
|
|
* `hidden`: Fields that will contain values to pass to the update function but won't appear on the page (this must be used for the sort column)
|
|
|
|
#### Edit Item Functionality
|
|
|
|
Editable models must have an entry in the switch statement of the `postEdit` function to make create and edit functionality work:
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
switch ($request['model']) {
|
|
case 'shows':
|
|
$item = $id == 'new' ? new Shows : Shows::find($id);
|
|
break;
|
|
case 'news':
|
|
$item = $id == 'new' ? new News : News::find($id);
|
|
break;
|
|
default:
|
|
return 'model-access-fail';
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Additional Requirement for Sortable Models
|
|
|
|
Sortable models must have an entry in the switch statement of the `postReorder` function to make sorting functionality work:
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
switch ($request['model']) {
|
|
case 'news':
|
|
$items = new News();
|
|
break;
|
|
default:
|
|
return 'model-access-fail';
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Additional Requirements for Image Upload
|
|
|
|
If the value of `imgup` has been set to `true`, ensure `public/uploads/model_name` exists (where `model_name` is the name of the given model) and contains a `.gitkeep` that exists in version control.
|
|
|
|
By default, uploaded images are saved in JPEG format with the value of the `id` column of the respective row as its name and `.jpg` as its file extension.
|
|
|
|
When a row is deleted, its respective image will be deleted as well if it exists.
|
|
|
|
### Adding to the Dashboard Menu
|
|
|
|
Add an array to the menu array in `resources/views/dashboard/elements/menu.blade.php` where the visible title as the first item and the model name as the second:
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
@set('menu', [
|
|
[ 'Page Name', 'model_name' ],
|
|
[ 'Contact', 'contact' ]
|
|
])
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Additional Requirement for Delete Functionality
|
|
|
|
Editable models with `delete` set to `true` must have an entry in the switch statement of the `deleteDelete` function to make deletion functionality work:
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
switch ($request['model']) {
|
|
case 'shows':
|
|
$items = new Shows();
|
|
break;
|
|
case 'news':
|
|
$items = new News();
|
|
break;
|
|
default:
|
|
return 'model-access-fail';
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Additional Requirement for Export Functionality
|
|
|
|
Viewable models and editable models with `export` set to `true` must have an entry in the switch statement of the `getExport` function to make the export button work:
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
switch ($model) {
|
|
case 'contact':
|
|
$headings = [ 'Date', 'Name', 'Email', 'Message' ];
|
|
$items = Contact::select('created_at', 'name', 'email', 'message')->get();
|
|
break;
|
|
default:
|
|
abort(404);
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* `$headings`: The visible column names in the same order as the array containing the items to be exported
|
|
* `$items`: A function returning an array containing the data to be exported
|
