README

This small laravel package helps you quickly connect the contact form api for your site by simply defining the types and fields in the configuration file.

Installation

To install the package, run the command:

composer require denobraz/laravel-contact-form

After installation, you need to publish the configuration file:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Denobraz\LaravelContactForm\ContactFormServiceProvider" --tag="config"

After that, you can configure the contact form in the file config/contact_form.php.

To publish the migration file, run the command:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Denobraz\LaravelContactForm\ContactFormServiceProvider" --tag="migrations"

After that, you can run the migration:

php artisan migrate

Usage

Registering the routes

To use contact form add the following code to your api routes:

Route::post('/contact-form', Denobraz\LaravelContactForm\Http\Controllers\ContactFormController::class);

Define contact form types

Default configuration file include default contact form type with name, email, phone, message fields.

'types' => [
        // `default` is the name of the contact form type
        'default' => [
            'data' => [
                // Here is rules for validation
                'name' => 'string|required',
                'email' => 'string|required|email',
                'phone' => 'string|nullable',
                'message' => 'string|nullable',
            ],
            'messages' => [
                // If you want to override the default message for some field
                // You can leave this array empty
                'name.required' => 'Name is required',
            ],
            'attributes' => [
                // If you want to override the default attribute name for some field
                // You can leave this array empty
                'name' => 'Name',
            ],
            'callbacks' => [
                // Here is the list of callbacks that will be called after the form is validated
                // You can leave this array empty (maybe just for record form data in the database)
                Denobraz\LaravelContactForm\Callbacks\DummyContactFormCallback::class,
            ]
        ],
        // `newsletter` is the name of the contact form type
        'newsletter' => [
            'data' => [
                'email' => 'string|required|email',
            ],
        ]
    ]

You can attach callbacks to any type of contact form (notification to the administrator, response to the client, sending an application to the CRM, etc...).

Any callback is Job-like class that extends Denobraz\LaravelContactForm\Callbacks\ContactFormCallback.

If you want to create queueable callback, you can extend Denobraz\LaravelContactForm\Callbacks\QueueableContactFormCallback class.

Also, configuration allows you: (Don't forget to notify the users about sensitive data processing)

• save_contact_forms - if you want to store the form data in the database
• save_cookies - if you want to store the user's cookies
• save_ip - if you want to store the user's ip
• save_user_agent - if you want to store the user's user-agent
• save_referrer - if you want to store the user's referrer
• save_user_id - if you want to store the user's id

Examples

Here is example of callback that sends email to the administrator:

namespace App\ContactForm\Callbacks;

use App\Notifications\ManagerContactFormNotification;
use Denobraz\LaravelContactForm\Callbacks\ContactFormCallback;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Notification;

class SendManagerEmail extends ContactFormCallback
{
    // You must implement the `handle` method
    // where you can process the contact form data
    public function handle(): void
    {
        // You can access the contact form data using the following methods:
        $email = $this->contactForm->data('email');

        // To use the cookies, and meta-data, you need allow storing them in the config file.
        $fbpCookie = $this->contactForm->cookie('fbp');
        $ip = $this->contactForm->ip();
        $userAgent = $this->contactForm->userAgent();
        $referer = $this->contactForm->referer();
        $userId = $this->contactForm->userId();
        $someOtherMeta = $this->contactForm->meta('some_other_meta');
    
        // In the notification class we pass the contact form model with data
        $notification = new ManagerContactFormNotification($this->contactForm);
        Notification::route('mail', 'admin@test.com')->notify($notification);
    }
}

Request to /api/contact-form:

{
  "type": "default",
  "data": {
    "name": "John Doe",
    "email": "example@test.com",
    "phone": "+1234567890",
    "message": "Hello, world!"
  }
}

        ],
        "data.email": [
            "The Email field is required."
        ]
    }
