A laravel package that implements a ready-made Admin panel with a CRUD System

Features

• Material Design Admin Panel Ready
• Full CRUD System
• Supports Datatables

Requirements

• laravel >= 8
• php >= 7.3

Usage

Installation

• install it using composer by running composer require lordjoo/crudi
• then you need to publish the assets files, and the config files needed by running php artisan vendor:publish
• then you need to run php artisan migrate to create the images table (this tables used to store any king of images related one-to-one to any other modals)

How it's working ?

This library depends on two main things

1. CrudiControllerTrait

We made a trait with all the CRUD Logic and made it available to use in any controller

1. the CrudiModal

In order to make the CRUD Operations much smoother we made a Custom abstract class called CrudiModel this class extends the Laravel Model base class

Get Started

Will assume that we have a blog and we need to use Crudi to handle the post CRUD Operations .

• First of all we will create the Post Model,Controller and migration

php artisan make:model Post -mc

• After this we will go to the PostController.php and use the CrudiControllerTrait, The Controller should be look like that

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use Lordjoo\Crudi\Traits\CrudiControllerTrait;

class PostController extends Controller
{
    use CrudiControllerTrait;
}

• Then we have to edit the Post Model at ```Post.php`` located in Models directory and make it look like this

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Lordjoo\Crudi\Models\CrudiModel;

class Post extends CrudiModel
{
    use HasFactory;
}

• After this you must open the web.php file in routes folder to add the Routes to it Crudi provides a Route macro called crudi that will do all the heavy work of defining all the routes names, prefix and action

So Open the web.php and add this line

Route::crudi('posts', 'posts.',\App\Http\Controllers\PostController::class);

The first param is the route prefix, Second for the route name prefix, and the last one for the target Controller ,Crudi will generate the following routes for you

• Now, We have to define some REQUIRED Properties in the PostController
  • private $model = App\Models\Post::class this will hold the associated Model for this Controller
  • private $route = "posts" this will hold the route name which we had just add as the second param in the Route::crudi macro

NOW We almost finish, You can go to http://localhost:8001/posts/create and you will get the add post page , But the page will be empty You need to define the field of the post, We will do this by going to the PostModel and add a protected property called fields this property will be of 2D Array type with this shape

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Lordjoo\Crudi\Models\CrudiModel;

class Post extends CrudiModel
{
    use HasFactory;

    /*
     * System use this object to create the form for creating and updating the model
     * Types available :
     * - text
     * - file
     * - textarea
     * - relation_select 
    */

    protected $fields = [
        [
            'type'=>"text", 
            'name'=>"Title",
            'col'=>'name',
        ],
        [
            'type'=>"textarea",
            'name'=>"Body",
            'col'=>'body'
        ],
        [
            'type'=>"image",
            "accept"=>"img",
            'name'=>"Post Thumbnail",
            'col'=>'img_id'
        ],
        [
            'type'=>'relation_select',
            "name"=>"Category",
            'col'=>"category_id",
            "relation" => "category"
        ],  
    ];
}

The Only thing need explanation is relation_select type in the field types,
As you see we define a field called Category refers to the category)id column and this field is a relation_select, This means that you will find a select box having all items in the categories_table (relation) to choose the category_id which will be attached to the post

Another thing here is the Post Image field, Crudi has a built in upload image function so if any of your columns shoud be a image just make the type image and crudi will take care of validating and uploading the iamge Note that that all images is stored in images table and releated by img_id as showen

• NOW if you saved and go back to the posts/create ou will find the inputs to supply your datat

After you click save in the create page you will be redirected back to posts/ page with an empty table with just 1 column which id the item ID , But How to show all other values of each post ?

We simple doing this by defining another protected called $4datatable
NOTE Crudi USES LARAVEL DATATABLES To Generate the {modae}/page

Datatables Control

Crudi uses datatables to list ahd show the data in the dashboard, Crudi uses a protected property called $dataTable in the Model Class to determine what to list and how to list it

In our example we will write the $datatable property to list the post title, thumbnail and the category

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Lordjoo\Crudi\Models\CrudiModel;

class Post extends CrudiModel
{
    use HasFactory;

    protected $dataTable = [
        [
            'data'=>'id',"title"=>"ID"
        ],
        [
            'data'=>"name",'title'=>"Post Title","width"=>200
        ],
        [
            'data'=>"thumbnail_url",'title'=>"Post Photo","render"=>'`<img src="${data}" />`'
        ],
        [
            'data'=>'id','title'=>"Category",'name'=>'category','custom'=>true,"width"=>200
        ]
    ];
 
    protected $datatables_custom = [
        [
            'col'=>"Category",
            "relation"=>"category",
            "relation_col"=>'name'
        ]
    ];
    protected $with = ['category'];
    public function category(){
        return $this->belongsTo(Category::class);
    }

}
