Drafterer
The development of this package is a bit postponed for now because of lack of time., (*1)
Drafterer is a Laravel package that allows you to save a draft version of an Eloquent model. It can be used for previewing upcoming changes before commiting them. Also useful for autosaved version., (*2)
Install
Via Composer.
``` bash
$ composer require glaivepro/drafterer, (*3)
Afterwards you should migrate the table for drafts. Just do it.
``` bash
$ php artisan migrate
Usage
Make your model draftable.
``` php
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use GlaivePro\Drafterer\Draftable;, (*4)
class Article extends Model
{
use Draftable;
//
}, (*5)
Save changes as a draft instead of the model itself.
``` php
$article = Article::find(1);
$article->title = 'Real title';
$article->intro = 'Real introduction';
$article->save();
$article->title = 'Draft title';
$article->drafterer->save();
Use the real or drafted article.
``` php
$article = Article::find(1);, (*6)
$article->title; // returns 'Real title', (*7)
$article->drafterer->title; // returns 'Draft title'
$article->drafterer->intro; // returns 'Real introduction', (*8)
You might want to decide to use the draft as the real version - just write it down then.
``` php
$article->drafterer->write();
Or you might discard it.
``` php
$article->drafterer->discard();, (*9)
For draft-only users or conditionals we can also replace the attributes with the drafted ones.
``` php
$article->title; // returns 'Real title'
$article->drafterer->load();
$article->title; // returns 'Draft title'
