README

Rinvex Pages is an integral part for your Laravel content management system (CMS), it affords an easy, yet powerful way to create and manage pages with full control over their URLs, active status, titles, content, and other attributes.

Installation

1. Install the package via composer:

   composer require rinvex/laravel-pages

2. Publish resources (migrations and config files):

   php artisan rinvex:publish:pages

3. Execute migrations via the following command:

   php artisan rinvex:migrate:pages

4. Done!

Usage

Create Your Page

To get started, you simply create a new page as follows:

$page = app('rinvex.pages.page')->create([
    'uri' => 'test',
    'slug' => 'test-page',
    'route' => 'frontend.pages.test',
    'title' => 'Test Page',
    'view' => 'test-page',
]);

// Deactivate the page
$page->deactivate();

// Activate the page
$page->activate();

// Get all pages
$pages = app('rinvex.pages.page')->all();

// Get active pages
$pages = app('rinvex.pages.page')->where('is_active', true)->get();

Notes:

• All active pages are registered automatically into your application router with page's attributes, so the example page we created above could be accessed via the URL http://your-project/test, and you can generate page's URL using the named route route('frontend.pages.test') as you may expect. The result of accessing that page is the content of the page's rendered view.
• Rinvex Pages auto register routes for your active pages, but you can disable routes auto registration in case you need more flexibility writing your own routes and maybe linking to your custom controllers, and that could be done from the config file config/rinvex.pages.php if you already published it in the installation step.
• Rinvex Pages expects you to create your own views before setting in page records, and that view could be anywhere and contain anything. It's important to know that all page views have access to the $page instance variable by default, so you can access any of the page's attributes.

ADVANCED: Attach Resources to Page

Sometimes you need to attach other resources to a specific page, to display later as "Related Content" for example, the presentation layer is left to you to implement, but the following is how to attach these resources programmatically.

To attach other resources to any page, follow these two steps:

1. Use \Rinvex\Pages\Traits\Pageable trait in your resources you need to attach.

2. Register your resource as a pageable, and add mutator setter/getter support for in your resource in the page's model. This is done in service provider boot method. See the following example of Article resource we're attaching to the page:

use App\Models\Article;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Relations\MorphToMany;

app('rinvex.pages.pageables')->put('article', Article::class);

app('rinvex.pages.page')->macro('setArticlesAttribute', function ($articles) {
    static::saved(function (self $model) use ($articles) {
        $model->entries(Article::class)->sync($articles, true);
    });
});

app('rinvex.pages.page')->resolveRelationUsing('articles', function ($pageModel): MorphToMany {
    return $pageModel->entries(Article::class);
});
