README

This Laravel package allows the ability to implement a status feature to any Laravel model. This utilizes the polymorphic relationships. The package features includes:

• Setting and updating status on any model with a status_id field.
• Store status change history as status updates.
• Ability to assign statuses to be available to specific models. A status can be available for all models or one model.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require snowpenguinstudios/laravel-model-status

You can publish and run the migrations with:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="SnowPenguinStudios\LaravelModelStatus\LaravelModelStatusServiceProvider" --tag="laravel-model-status-migrations"
php artisan migrate

You can publish the config file with:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="SnowPenguinStudios\LaravelModelStatus\LaravelModelStatusServiceProvider" --tag="laravel-model-status-config"

This is the contents of the published config file:

return [
];

Model Setup

Add status_id to the model table

Schema::table('table-name', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->foreignId('status_id');
});

Add HasStatus Trait to model

use SnowPenguinStudios\LaravelModelStatus\Traits\HasStatus;

class ModelName extends Model {
    use HasStatus;
    
    ...
}

Usage

Working With The Status Model

The following attributes are allowed to be set for mass assignment: model, name, description, is_default, is_active and order.

Creating a global status:

use SnowPenguinStudios\LaravelModelStatus\Models\Status;
$status = Status::create([
    'name' => 'New',
    'is_active' => true
]);

Creating a new model-specific status:

use SnowPenguinStudios\LaravelModelStatus\Models\Status;
$status = Status::create([
    'name' => 'New',
    'model' => ModelName::class,
    'is_active' => true
]);

Assigning Status To Model

...
$model->status_id = $status->id;
... 
$model->save();

OR

// This will work for create() as well...
$model->update([
    ...
    'status_id' => $status->id,
    ...
]);

Getting a Models Available Statuses

Provides an array of all statuses (including the statues not assigned to a model) available for a model:

$availableStatuses = DataModdel::availableStatuses();

Provides the default status for a model (note that if a Model specific and non-model specific status has a default, the model specific will be default):

$defaultStatus = DataModdel::defaultStatus();

The ability to sort by the Status Order

Default Order will be in ascending order:

$orderedStatuses = Status::order()->get();

Order by order field, ascending.

$orderedStatuses = Status::order('asc')->get();

Order by order field, descending.

$orderedStatuses = Status::order('desc')->get();

Order By a certain Model

    $orderedStatuses = Status::where('model', DataModel::class)->order()->get();

OR

    $orderedAscStatuses = DataModel::availableStatuses('asc');
    $orderedDescStatuses = DataModel::availableStatuses('desc');

Getting Model Status Information

Getting the model's current status

$model->status;
// Returns the status model object

Getting the model's status updates

$model->status_updates;
// Returns a Collection of status update model 

Getting the model's latest status updates

$model->latestStatusUpdate();
// Returns the latest, in sequence, status update model object.
