A package for Laravel, which I use to build repetitive resource Items., _(*1)

Model

Create a model for your new resource item., _(*2)

The resource model should have a static $rules property, which contain all resource rules., _(*3)

class Post extends \Eloquent {

  protected $table = 'posts';
  protected $fillable = ['title', 'body'];

  public static $rules = [
    'title' => 'required',
    'body' => 'required',
  ];
}

Controller

Create a new controller by extending the base resource controller. In the constructor you can specify some settings., _(*4)

• dependency => your resource item's model
• resource_name => the identifier of your resource, the one you use at Route::resource()
• view_dir => path to the rescource views

use Alexwenzel\Cmsbasics\Controllers\Resource;

class PostsController extends Resource {

  public function __construct(Post $model)
  {
    parent::__construct([
      'dependency'    => $model,
      'resource_name' => 'posts',
      'view_dir'      => 'path.to.views',
    ]);
  }
}

Then register the controller in your routes., _(*5)

Route::resource('posts', 'PostsController');

Customize behaviour

You cann customize the behaviour of the base resource controller by overriding specific methods, _(*6)

protected function _index_items()
protected function _store_data()
protected function _store_validator($data)
protected function _store_fails($data, $validator)
protected function _store_finished($data, $model)
protected function _update_data()
protected function _update_validator($id, $data)
protected function _update_fails($data, $model, $validator)
protected function _update_finished($data, $model)
protected function _destroy_finished()

Events

The following Events are fired within the base resource controller:, _(*7)

index, _(*8)

[resource_name].index

create, _(*9)

[resource_name].create

store, _(*10)

[resource_name].store

Passes the newly created resource as the first argument., _(*11)

show, _(*12)

[resource_name].show

Passes the requested resource as the first argument., _(*13)

edit, _(*14)

[resource_name].edit

Passes the requested resource as the first argument., _(*15)

update, _(*16)

[resource_name].update

Passes the updated resource as the first argument., _(*17)

destroy, _(*18)

[resource_name].destroy

View

This package comes with default views for all actions (index, create, show, edit). Publish the package views as a starting point., _(*19)

php artisan view:publish alexwenzel/cmsbasics

Copy the package views to a new folder and customize them., _(*20)

class PostsController extends Resource {

  public function __construct(Post $model)
  {
    parent::__construct([
      'dependency'    => $model,
      'resource_name' => 'posts',
      'view_dir'      => 'path.to.views',
    ]);
  }
}
