README

Coupon generator for Laravel 5.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require blunck/coupons

The package includes a migration to create a coupons & coupon_user table:

# Publish migration file
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Blunck\Coupons\CouponServiceProvider"

# Run migration
php artisan migrate

Add Redeemable trait to User model:

use Blunck\Coupons\Traits\Redeemable;

class User {
    use Redeemable;

    // ...
}

Usage

Retrieve / Check if a coupon code is valid

try {
    $coupon = Coupons::check('AAAA-BBBB-CCCC');
} catch (CouponException $e) {
    //
}

You can optionally pass a user instance as the 2nd argument to Coupons::check to check if user has already redeemed a non disposable coupon.

Redeem coupon

$user->redeemCoupon($coupon);

Redeeming a coupon adds a record to the coupon_user pivot table.

Create Coupon

/**
 * Disposable coupons can only be used onece.
 *
 * @var boolean
 */
$is_disposable = true;

/**
 * Coupon discount.
 *
 * @var float
 */
$discount = 10.50;

/**
 * Days from now when coupon expires. If null
 * coupon never expires.
 *
 * @var integer|null
 */
$expires_in = 30;

/**
 * Additional data.
 *
 * @var array
 */
$data = ['note' => 'lorem ipsum'];

$coupon = Coupons::create($is_disposable, $discount, $expires_in, $data);
$code = $coupon->code;
