- [License](#license)

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

[](#installation)

1. ***Download the package***

- command line:

`composer require geniusts/preferences`

- or add it to composer file:

```
{
    "require": {
        "geniusts/preferences": "^2.0"
    }
}
```

and run: `composer update`

2. ***Service Provider***

- If you are using Laravel >=5.5 and the `auto-discover` is enabled, no need to do anything.
- If your Laravel <5.5 or you disabled `auto-discover` add the ServiceProvider to the providers array in `config/app.php`

```
    GeniusTS\Preferences\PreferencesServiceProvider::class,
```

**Note:** If you are using Laravel 5.5 or greater no need to add it, It will auto discove

3. ***Controller And Migrations***

Publish the package Controller file to your application. Run these commands:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="GeniusTS\Preferences\PreferencesServiceProvider" --tag=controller

```

You can also publish views and migrations by the following commands:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="GeniusTS\Preferences\PreferencesServiceProvider" --tag=views
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="GeniusTS\Preferences\PreferencesServiceProvider" --tag=migrations

```

No need to publish the migrations files just run migrate command to execute the migrations.

```
php artisan migrate

```

> If you want to use `DB` transaction while saving the data, add `protected $transactions = true;` to `SettingsController`.

4. ***Routes and views***

Add two routes to you routes file:

```
Route::get('/settings/{preferences_domain?}', 'SettingsController@edit')
    ->midllware(//Apply your middleware)

Route::patch('/settings/{preferences_domain?}/{preferences_element?}', 'SettingsController@update')
    ->midllware(//Apply your middleware)

```

Now you have to create a `preferences.settings` view with your app layout and include the `geniusts_preferences::settings` view.

```
@include('geniusts_preferences::settings');

```

Usage

### Creating settings tab

[](#creating-settings-tab)

1. ***create a view of the settings:***Ex.: `settings/general.blade.php`

```

                 Test

```

2. ***Register the tab to PreferencesManager***

```
    use GeniusTS\Preferences\Models\Domain;
    use GeniusTS\Preferences\Models\Element;

    // Create a settings Domain
    // Domain(string $key, View $view, string $label)
    // you can use label like 'labels.general', because the view execute "trans" function
    $domain = new Domain('general', view('settings.general'), 'General');

    // Add the inputs names and validation rules
    // Element(string $name, mixed $rules)
    $domain->addElement(new Element('project_name', 'required|max:255'));

    // OR for array values
    $domain->addElement(new Element('options', ['options' => 'array', 'options.*' => 'required|integer']));

    // register the Domain to the Preferences manager
    $manager = resolve('preferences'); // or app('preferences') for versions older than 5.3
    $manager->addDomain($domain);
```

> You can register the `domains` in the `boot` function of your package service provider.

### Access saved settings

[](#access-saved-settings)

Use the default `config` function or `Config` class to get the values of your settings: `config('preferences.{domain}.{element}')`

```
config('preferences.general.project_name');
```

Migration from version 1
------------------------

[](#migration-from-version-1)

1. update inputs name inside preferences views. Ex: You have a `general` domain that have `project_name` element, then the input name should be `general[project_name]`.
2. Update declaration of `edit` and `handleSuccessResponse` methods of `SettingsController` inside your project.

```
   public function edit($domain = null) {
        // Logic here
   }

    protected function handleSuccessResponse($domain, $element) {
        // Logic here
    }
```
