Usage

Check out the documentation at https://laravelbackpack.com

In short:

1. Make your model use the CrudTrait.

2. Create a controller that extends CrudController.

3. Create a new resource route.

4. (optional) Define your validation rules in a Request files.

(Optional) Enable Revisions

CRUD supports tracking and restoring Model change Revisions with the help of VentureCraft/revisionable.

To enable revisions on your Model do the following:

1. Run:

$ php artisan migrate --path=vendor/venturecraft/revisionable/src/migrations #run revisionable migrations

1. Add the \Venturecraft\Revisionable\RevisionableTrait Trait to your Model. E.g:

namespace MyApp\Models;

class Article extends Eloquent {
    use \Backpack\CRUD\CrudTrait, \Venturecraft\Revisionable\RevisionableTrait;

    // If you are using another bootable trait the be sure to override the boot method in your model
    public static function boot()
    {
        parent::boot();
    }
}

1. Enable access to Revisions in your CrudController with:

$this->crud->allowAccess('revisions');
