Laravel Sortable v2 is a Laravel package designed to easily add sortable behavior to Eloquent models. This package allows you to manage the order of database records via simple trait inclusion.

Features
--------

[](#features)

- **Sortable Trait**: Include a trait in your Eloquent models to enable sortable functionality.
- **Automatic Order Management**: Automatically manages the order field during creation and provides methods to move records up or down.
- **Relation Support**: Handles sorting within the context of a parent relationship, ideal for nested resources or grouped items.

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

[](#installation)

To install the package, run the following command in your Laravel project:

```
composer require hippieua/laravel-sortablev2
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Setup

[](#setup)

1. **Make migration to add sortable field to your model**

```
php artisan make:migration "Add order_id to Categories"
```

```
public function up(): void
{
    Schema::table('categories', function (Blueprint $table) {
        $table->unsignedBigInteger('order_id')->default(0)->after('id');
    });

    Category::orderBy('id')->each(fn($category, $index) => $category->update(['order_id' => $index++]));
}
```

2. **Include the Trait in Your Model**

```
namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Hippieua\Sortable2\Sortable2;

class Chapter extends Model
{
    use Sortable2;
}
```

2. **Define Sortable Field and Optional Relation**

Override methods in your model if you need a custom sortable field or a specific relation for sorting:

```
protected function getSortableField(): string
{
    return 'custom_order_field';  // Default is 'order_id'
}

protected function getSortableRelation(): ?BelongsTo
{
    return $this->belongsTo(ParentModel::class);  // Default is null
}
```

### Managing Order

[](#managing-order)

- **Move an Item Up**

```
$chapter = Chapter::find(1);
$chapter->moveUp();
```

- **Move an Item Down**

```
$chapter = Chapter::find(1);
$chapter->moveDown();
```

Events
------

[](#events)

The package hooks into several Eloquent model events to ensure data integrity:

- `creating`
- `saving`
- `updating`
- `deleting`
- `retrieved`
- Conditionally `restoring` if SoftDeletes is used.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP >= 8.0
- Laravel 9.x to 11.x
