A simple task manager for Laravel

• Simple and extensible
• Method chaining
• Formatter (alpha)

TaskManager is a Laravel package which allows you to create projects, and create tasks. The package is in development stage for time being, and not ready for production uses.

Version

0.3.2

Requirements

• Laravel - version 5 (version 4 <= untested, need help here).
• PHP - version => 5.3

Installation

Download the package as a zip, and then put it on /vendor folder.

Add the following line on your composer.json file, under the psr-4:

"psr-4": {
    ...
    "Areyi\\TaskManager\\": "vendor/areyi/taskmanager/src"
}

After that, register the TaskManagerServiceProvider in the /config/app.php file, under the providers array:

'Areyi\TaskManager\Laravel\TaskManagerServiceProvider'

And in the same file, put the TaskManager alias under the aliases array:

'TaskManager' => 'Areyi\TaskManager\Facades\TaskManager'

And finally, run all the migration files

php artisan migrate --path=vendor/areyi/taskmanager/src/database/migrations

Usage

First, you must supply with the user_id (which you can get from your favourite authentication managers). This will make sure projects and tasks belongs to the right user.

$user_id = 1; // get from your login manager
TaskManager::setUserId($user_id);

1. To create a new project:

Try this:

$project_details = [
    'name' => 'New Project',
    'name' => 'new_project', //optional
];

TaskManager::addProject($project_details);

which will return:

Areyi\TaskManager\Base Object
(
    [userID] => 1
    [result] => 1
    [project_id] => 77
)

2. To create a new task:

You can straightaway creating a task without supplying the project_id if you have created a project before

$task_details = [
    'name' => 'New Task'
];

TaskManager::addTask($task_details);

or you can also chain them to create multiple tasks:

TaskManager::addTask($task_details)->addTask($task2_details)->addTask($task3_details);

which will return:

Areyi\TaskManager\Base Object
(
    [userID] => 1
    [result] => 1
    [project_id] => 79
    [task_id] => Array
        (
            [0] => 75
            [1] => 76
            [2] => 77
        )
)

and you can also create project and add tasks to it at the same time:

TaskManager::addProject($project_details)->addTask($task_details)->addTask($task_details);

3. Get all projects:

To get all existing projects:

TaskManager::getProjects();

which will returns straightaway:

Areyi\TaskManager\Base Object
(
    [userID] => 1
    [projects] => Array

            [0] => Array
                (
                    [id] => 1
                    [name] => Web Development Project
                    [slug] => webdev
                    [owner_id] => 1
                    [owner] => admin
                    [created_at] => 2015-12-26 01:00:55
                    [updated_at] => 2015-12-26 01:00:55
                )

            [1] => Array
                (
                    [id] => 2
                    [name] => New Project

You can also get all projects along with their tasks:

TaskManager::getAll();

$projectId = 1;
TaskManager::deleteProject($projectId);

$task_id = 1;
TaskManager::deleteTask($task_id);

8. Mark a task as completed

TaskManager::completeTask($task_id)

Formatting

This is still under development! TaskManager is included with a powerful formatter, allowing you to edit or delete projects/tasks and complete a task on the run. The formatter is powered by AJAX.

1. Get all projects as list

To list all projects as a list

TaskManager::getProjects()->format()->asList();

Result:

• Web Development Project (by admin) Delete
• Test Project (by admin) Delete

2. Get all tasks as list

To list all tasks under a project as a list

$project_id = 1;
TaskManager::getProject($project_id)->getTasks()->format()->asList();

Result:

• Buy a milk Complete
• Buy a book Complete
