Laravel Sortable
================

[](#laravel-sortable)

A Laravel 5.2 package to sort Eloquent models.

[![Build Status](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/bb2311ae41635cf4655fd0908542350f933f9426c16ae09d998c013d3538b017/68747470733a2f2f7472617669732d63692e6f72672f6c657061726b696e672f6c61726176656c2d736f727461626c652e737667)](https://travis-ci.org/leparking/laravel-sortable)

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

[](#installation)

Require the package with composer

```
composer require leparking/laravel-sortable
```

Add the service provider to `config/app.php`

```
    'providers' => [
        // ...
        LeParking\Sortable\SortableServiceProvider::class,
    ],
```

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

Publish the default configuration file to `config/sortable.php`

```
php artisan vendor:publish
```

The settings in this file will apply to all sortable models, but can be overridden on each model with the `$sortable` property.

Here are the available settings with their defaults:

```
return [
     // Name of the column that will store the position.
    'column' => 'position',

     // If set to true, new models will be inserted at the first position.
    'insert_first' => false,

     // A column name or an array of columns names to group sortable models.
    'group_by' => false,
];
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Your sortable models should implement the `Sortable` interface and use the `SortableTrait`.

```
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use LeParking\Sortable\Sortable;
use LeParking\Sortable\SortableTrait;

class Book extends Model implements Sortable
{
    use SortableTrait;

    // Optional property to override default settings.
    protected $sortable = [
        // ...
    ];
}
```

The database table must have an integer column to store the position.

```
Schema::create('books', function($table) {
    $table->integer('position')->unsigned();
});
```

The `position` attribute will be filled automatically when creating new models.

```
$book = Book::create();
echo $book->position; // 1

$book2 = Book::create();
echo $book2->position; // 2
```

The `SortableTrait` provides a query scope to retrieve models ordered by the position column.

```
$books = Book::ordered();
$books = Book::ordered('desc');
```
