Lara Core
=========

[](#lara-core)

Quickly and easily create CRUD for Laravel API using these handy base classes.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require ashimbadrie/lara-core
```

Pre-Requisites
--------------

[](#pre-requisites)

This package expects your database migrations to include the following required fields. By default, we turned off laravel's timestamp usage and opt-in for our custom create/update UNIX timestamp. We also added the ability to log who created/updated a record once authenticated.

```
$table->integer('created_by')->nullable()->comment('User who created the record');
$table->integer('created_on')->nullable()->comment('The date of creation in unix timestamp');
$table->integer('modified_by')->nullable()->comment('User who modified the record');
$table->integer('modified_on')->nullable()->comment('The date of modification in unix timestamp');
```

Creating a Data Model
---------------------

[](#creating-a-data-model)

A *data model* is the entrypoint to creating records in a database table. When a record is saved, the model tracks which *authenticated* user **creates/modifies** a record and also tracks the **UNIX timestamp** for these operations.

Creating a data model is as simple as follows:

```
class ExampleModel extends BaseModel {

  protected $table = 'example_table';

  protected function defaultLookupField(): String
  {
      return '';
  }

}
```

REST API CRUD
-------------

[](#rest-api-crud)

To handle basic REST API CRUD operations, we need to create a *data manager* and *data controller* as follows:

```
class ExampleManager extends DataManager {

  public function __construct()
  {
      $model = "App\Models\ExampleModel"; // Path to the ExampleModel we created above
      parent::__construct($model);
  }

}

class ExampleController extends DataController {

  private $exampleManager;

  public function __construct()
  {
      $this->exampleManager = new ExampleManager();
      parent::__construct($this->exampleManager);
  }

}
```

Once we have our *data model*, *data controller* and *data manager* set up we can now create our API resources to point to the CRUD logic. Inside the **routes/api.php** file, we add the following:

```
Route::get('examples/{id}', 'ExampleController@show');
Route::post('examples', 'ExampleController@store');
Route::patch('examples/{id}', 'ExampleController@update');
Route::delete('examples/{id}', 'ExampleController@destroy');
```

Paginated Record Listing
------------------------

[](#paginated-record-listing)

In order to load a paginated list of records, we need to create a *list manager* and *list controller* as follows:

```
class ExampleListManager extends DataListManager
{
    public function __construct()
    {
        $model = "App\Models\Example";
        parent::__construct($model);
    }
}

class ExampleListController extends DataListController
{
    private $exampleListManager;

    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->exampleListManager = new ExampleListManager();
        parent::__construct($this->exampleListManager);
    }
}
```

Once we have our *data list controller* and *data list manager* we can now create our API resources to point to the listing logic. Inside the **routes/api.php** file, we add the following:

```
Route::post('examples/list', 'ExampleListController@page');
Route::get('examples/list', 'ExampleListController@index');
```

The listing *post* request accepts an *application/json* payload to load the first page as follows:

```
{
  "start": 0,
  "limit": 10,
  "sort_by": {},
  "filter_by": {}
}
```

> NOTE: Your frontend will need to increment the start value in the payload above to cycle through a paginated list.

A typical response looks as follows:

```
{
  "page": [],
  "total": 0
}
```
