Laravel Controller Extensions

Contains some helpers for the basic Laravel controller.

BaseController contains some minimal functionality, including setting up the template view, view names, and subnav key.

Controller with full functionality

<?php
use App\Contracts\Storage\MyProvider;
use App\Http\Requests\Admin\MyFormRequest;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Http\FormRequest;
use Smorken\Ext\Controller\Traits\IndexFiltered;
use Smorken\Ext\Controller\Traits\Crud;

class MyController extends \Smorken\Ext\Controller\BaseController
{
    use IndexFiltered, Crud {
        doSave as traitDoSave;
    }
    
    /**
     * Base view "path". View name of route is appended to create
     * the complete view name
     */
    protected $base_view = 'admin.my';

    /**
     * Optional property that is passed to the view (can
     * be used to dynamically include a content layout
     * in a master blade template 
     */
    protected $template = 'layouts.templates.two_col';

    public function __construct(MyProvider $provider) {
        $this->setProvider($provider);
        parent::__construct();
    }

    public function doSave(MyFormRequest $request, $id = null)
    {
        return $this->traitDoSave($request, $id);
    }
    
    protected function getAttributes(FormRequest $request)
    {
        return $request->only(['foo', 'bar']);
    }
}

This example controller would depend on views named like:

• /admin/my
  • create.blade.php
  • delete.blade.php
  • index.blade.php
  • update.blade.php
  • view.blade.php
