This package allows you to sort order of your Laravel model records with easy methods:

```
$model->moveUp();
$model->moveDown();
$model->move('up');
$model->move('down');
```

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

[](#installation)

To install the most recent version, run the following command.

```
composer require hippieua/laravel-sortable
```

Setup
-----

[](#setup)

Your model should contain sortable field. You can add new or use existing one (don't use default id field)

```
Schema::table('comments', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->unsignedInteger('order')->default(1);
});
```

Update you model, use Sortable trait and fill `$sortable_field` property according to field name you've added.

```
    use Hippie\Sortable\Sortable;

    class Comment extends Model
    {
        use Sortable;

        protected string $sortable_field = 'order';

        protected $fillable = [
            'order',
        ];
    }
```

If your model have BelongsTo relationship, and you want to move records up and down within your relation items fill `$sortable_relation` property.

```
use Hippie\Sortable\Sortable;

class Comment extends Model
{
    use Sortable;

    protected string $sortable_field = 'order';
    protected string $sortable_relation = 'post';

    protected $fillable = [
        'order',
    ];

    public function post(): BelongsTo
    {
        return $this->belongsTo(Post::class);
    }
```

```
class Post extends Model
{
    public function comments(): BelongsTo
    {
        return $this->hasMany(Comment::class)->orderBy('order');
    }
}
```

In case you don't want to calculate your sortable field value on creating new item manually add `static::created` to your sortable model

```
protected static function booted()
{
    static::created(function ($model) {
        $model->updateSortOrderOnCreate();
    });
}
```

Usage
