Sortable behaviour for Eloquent models
======================================

[](#sortable-behaviour-for-eloquent-models)

This package provides a trait that adds sortable behaviour to an Eloquent model.

The value of the order column of a new record of a model is determined by the maximum value of the order column of all records of that model + 1.

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

[](#installation)

This package can be installed through Composer.

```
composer require james.xue/laravel-sortable

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

To add sortable behaviour to your model you must:

1. Use the trait `James\Sortable\SortableTrait;`;

    Use the trait `James\Sortable\Sortable`;
2. Optionally specify which column will be used as the order column. The default is `sort_field`.

### Example

[](#example)

```
use James\Sortable\SortableTrait;
use James\Sortable\Sortable;

class MyModel extends Eloquent implements Sortable
{

    use SortableTrait;

    public $sortable = [
        'sort_field' => 'view',
        'sort_when_creating' => true,
    ];

    ...
}
```

If you don't set a value `$sortable['sort_field']` the package will assume that your order column name will be named `sort_field`.

If you don't set a value `$sortable['sort_when_creating']` the package will automatically assign the highest order number to a new model;

Assuming that the db-table for `MyModel` is empty:

```
$myModel = new MyModel();
$myModel->save(); // sort_field for this record will be set to 1

$myModel = new MyModel();
$myModel->save(); // sort_field for this record will be set to 2

$myModel = new MyModel();
$myModel->save(); // sort_field for this record will be set to 3
```

You can also move a model:

```
$myModel = new MyModel();
$myModel->where('id', $id)->first()->move('up'); // up、down、top、end
```
