Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - PHP `^8.2` - Laravel `^12` or `^13` ### Host-provided dependencies [](#host-provided-dependencies) This package was **extracted from a monolith** and is designed to be consumed by that same application. The controllers and the `Translatable` concern therefore still reference a handful of classes that the **host app must provide**. These are intentionally left pointing at the `App\` namespace: Referenced classUsed byPurpose`App\Http\Controllers\Controller`all controllersbase controller (auth/validation traits)`App\Models\User``WorkflowController`, `FormResponseWorkflowAction`, `Services\WorkflowRunner`approver identity`App\Notifications\GeneralNotficationMailsAttachment``AnswerController`submit-notification email (host-env: shells out to a node PDF script + hardcoded domain)`App\Http\Services\ReportsGenerator\PdfFooter``ResponsesController`PDF footer`App\Http\TranslatorAction\Translator`, `App\Models\Translation``Concerns\Translatable`i18n fieldsThe workflow engine and its collaborators now live **in the package** — `Mrgiant\FormBuilder\Services\WorkflowRunner`, `Mrgiant\FormBuilder\Notifications\FormWorkflowNotification`, and `Mrgiant\FormBuilder\Rules\UniqueAnswerResponses` — since they are form-domain logic, not host infrastructure. The remaining `App\` references above are genuine host concerns (identity, generic mail/PDF/Excel tooling, i18n). Installation (local path repository) ------------------------------------ [](#installation-local-path-repository) In the host app's `composer.json`: ``` "repositories": [ { "type": "path", "url": "../form-builder", "options": { "symlink": true } } ], ``` then: ``` composer require mrgiant/form-builder:* ``` The service provider is auto-discovered. It will: - load the package migrations (deduped by filename against the host's copies), - register the `form-builder::` view namespace, - register routes **only if** `config('form-builder.register_routes')` is true (off by default to avoid colliding with the host's existing form routes). Publish what you want to customize: ``` php artisan vendor:publish --tag=form-builder-config # config/form-builder.php php artisan vendor:publish --tag=form-builder-views # resources/views/vendor/form-builder php artisan vendor:publish --tag=form-builder-assets # resources/js/vendor/form-builder php artisan vendor:publish --tag=form-builder-migrations # only for a fresh host ``` Frontend -------- [](#frontend) The package ships **raw `.vue` source**. Publish it and register the components on your existing global Vue app: ``` // resources/js/app.js (host) import { registerFormBuilder } from './vendor/form-builder'; registerFormBuilder(app, { lazy }); // reuse the host's lazy() wrapper ``` This registers: `forms-index`, `forms-manage-questions`, `forms-questions-answers`, `forms-responses-index`, `forms-workflow-builder`, `approvals-inbox`, `approval-tracker`, `form-charts`. The components require `golden-logic-ui`, `vuedraggable`, and Vue 3 in the host. They also import a few **host-provided Vue libraries** via the `@` alias (`@` → `resources/js`), which the host must define in `vite.config.js`: ImportProvided by host at`@/services/multilingualService``resources/js/services/``@/components/fields/*`shared field inputs (also used by other host features)`@/components/fieldsAnswer/*`shared answer-display inputs`@/components/Charts/Pie.vue`shared chart componentsThese are intentionally **not** bundled so the host owns a single copy (they are shared with other host features). Re-run the publish command after updating the package to refresh the copy under `resources/js/vendor/form-builder`. Configuration ------------- [](#configuration) `config/form-builder.php`: KeyDefaultMeaning`register_routes``false`Let the package own the form routes.`route_prefix``admin`URL prefix for the route group.`route_name_prefix``admin.`Route-name prefix (`admin.forms.*`).`middleware``['web', 'auth']`Middleware for the route group.`user_model``App\Models\User`Approver model.Cutover status (GoldenHospital host) ------------------------------------ [](#cutover-status-goldenhospital-host) The cutover has been **performed** in the GoldenHospital host — the package is the source of truth for the module's models, controllers, and Vue components: 1. ✅ Host `app/Models/{Form,Question,Answer,FormResponse,FormResponse*,FormWorkflow*}.php`deleted; all references repointed to `Mrgiant\FormBuilder\Models\*`. 2. ✅ Host `app/Http/Controllers/Admin/{Forms,Questions,Answer,Responses,Workflow}Controller.php`deleted; `routes/web.php` + `routes/api.php` now reference the package controllers. (The route *definitions* stay in the host so they keep the host's admin middleware/locale/gate context; `register_routes` remains `false`.) 3. ✅ Host `resources/js/components/cruds/Forms/**` and `FormCharts.vue` deleted; `app.js` registers the components via `registerFormBuilder(app, { lazy })`from the published `resources/js/vendor/form-builder`. Remaining (optional) hardening: - Blade views still live in the host (the controllers render `admin.forms.*` / `forms.*`, which resolve to the host's layouts). The package ships its own copies under `form-builder::` for external consumers. - Decouple the host-provided PHP classes and Vue libraries (tables above) for a fully standalone package.
