Laravel sortable
================

[](#laravel-sortable)

Enables simple sort for your Eloquent models

INSTALLATION
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require monurakkaya/laravel-sortable

```

EXAMPLE
-------

[](#example)

```
$fooOne = Foo::create(['title' => 'Foo1', 'sort_order' => 1]);
$fooTwo = Foo::create(['title' => 'Foo2', 'sort_order' => 4]);
$fooThree = Foo::create(['title' => 'Foo3', 'sort_order' => 3]);

$records = Foo::get();
-Foo1
-Foo3
-Foo2

```

USAGE
-----

[](#usage)

### The model

[](#the-model)

Your model should use Monurakkaya\\Traits\\Sortable trait to enable auto sort;

```
use Monurakkaya\Sortable\Traits;

class Foo extends Model {
    use Sortable;
}

```

and that's all.

#### SETTINGS

[](#settings)

To change the column name to be sorted just override the `getSortableColumn` method on your model

```

class Foo extends Model {
    use Sortable;

    protected static function getSortableColumn()
    {
        return 'created_at';
    }
}

```

Default is `sort_order`

To change the sorting direction just override the `getSortableDirection` method on your model

```

class Foo extends Model {
    use Sortable;

    protected static function getSortableDirection()
    {
        return 'desc';
    }
}

```

Default is `asc`

### The schema

[](#the-schema)

\*\* You do not have to add new column, you can use existing columns like `created_at, id` etc to make your model able to auto-sort results.

#### To create the column

[](#to-create-the-column)

```
// This will generate an unsigned big integer column named `sort_order`
// which equivalent to $table->unsignedBigInteger('sort_order');
Schema::create('table', function (Blueprint $table) {
    ...
    $table->sortableColumn();
});

```

#### To drop the column

[](#to-drop-the-column)

```
Schema::table('table', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->dropSortableColumn();
});

```

#### To use your own column just pass the column name to override the default name

[](#to-use-your-own-column-just-pass-the-column-name-to-override-the-default-name)

```
// on create
$table->sortableColumn('my_column_name');

// on drop
$table->dropSortableColumn('my_column_name');

```

Using schema helper is optional. You can go on with your own definitions.

Tests
-----

[](#tests)

To run the tests, execute the following from the command line, while in the project root directory:

```
./vendor/bin/phpunit
```
