This file allows you to customize various aspects of how your application uses the package. Canvas exposes its UI at `/canvas` by default. This can be changed by updating either the `path` or `domain` option: ``` /* |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Base Domain |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | This is the subdomain where Canvas will be accessible from. If the | domain is set to null, Canvas will reside under the defined base | path below. Otherwise, this will be used as the subdomain. | */ 'domain' => env('CANVAS_DOMAIN', null), /* |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Base Path |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | This is the URI where Canvas will be accessible from. If the path | is set to null, Canvas will reside under the same path name as | the application. Otherwise, this is used as the base path. | */ 'path' => env('CANVAS_PATH_NAME', 'admin'), ``` Sometimes, you may want to apply custom roles or permissions when accessing Canvas. You can create and attach any additional middleware here: ``` /* |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Route Middleware |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | These middleware will be attached to every route in Canvas, giving you | the chance to add your own middleware to this list or change any of | the existing middleware. Or, you can simply stick with the list. | */ 'middleware' => [ 'web', ], ``` Canvas uses the storage disk for media uploads. You may configure the different filesystem options here: ``` /* |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Storage |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | This is the storage disk Canvas will use to put file uploads. You may | use any of the disks defined in the config/filesystems.php file and | you may also change the maximum upload size from its 3MB default. | */ 'storage_disk' => env('CANVAS_STORAGE_DISK', 'local'), 'storage_path' => env('CANVAS_STORAGE_PATH', 'public/canvas'), 'upload_filesize' => env('CANVAS_UPLOAD_FILESIZE', 3145728), ``` Roles & Permissions ----------------------- [](#roles--permissions) Canvas has 3 pre-defined roles: - **Contributor** (Somebody who can write and manage their own posts but cannot publish them) - **Editor** (Somebody who can publish and manage posts including the posts of other users) - **Admin** (Somebody who can do everything and see everything) When you install a fresh version of Canvas, you'll have a default admin user set up automatically. From there, you can perform any basic CRUD actions on users, as well as assign their various roles. Features -------- [](#features) > **Note:** The following features are completely optional, you are not required to use them. ### Frontend [](#frontend) Use the `canvas:ui` Artisan command to get the frontend APIs: ``` php artisan canvas:ui ``` ### Unsplash Integration [](#unsplash-integration) **Want access to the entire [Unsplash](https://unsplash.com) library?** Set up a new application at , grab your access key, and update `config/canvas.php`: ``` /* |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Unsplash Integration |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Visit https://unsplash.com/oauth/applications to create a new Unsplash | app. Use the confidential Access Key given to you to integrate with | the API. Note that demo apps are limited to 50 requests per hour. | */ 'unsplash' => [ 'access_key' => env('CANVAS_UNSPLASH_ACCESS_KEY'), ] ``` ### Weekly Digest [](#weekly-digest) **Want a weekly summary?** Canvas allows users to receive a weekly summary of their authored content. Once your application is [configured for sending mail](https://laravel.com/docs/master/mail), update `config/canvas.php`: ``` /* |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | E-Mail Notifications |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | This option controls e-mail notifications that will be sent via the | default application mail driver. A default option is provided to | support the notification system as an opt-in feature. | | */ 'mail' => [ 'enabled' => env('CANVAS_MAIL_ENABLED', false), ] ``` Since the weekly digest runs on [Laravel's Scheduler](https://laravel.com/docs/master/scheduling), you'll need to add the following cron entry to your server: ``` * * * * * cd /path-to-your-project && php artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1 ``` ### Portfolio [](#portfolio) **Want a portfolio integration?** ``` /* |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Portfolio |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | This option enables or disables the sections dedicated to the portfolio. | By default it is disabled. | | */ 'portfolio' => [ 'enabled' => env('CANVAS_PORTFOLIO_ENABLED', false), ] ``` ### Multiple languages [](#multiple-languages) **You can also edit your contents in multiple languages** ``` /* |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Enable languages |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | This option allows you to edit the contents in different languages | (available languages: IT, EN, ES, FR, DE). | By default only the Italian language is enabled, to add others write them | in the .env file (example: CANVAS_LANGUAGES=it,en,de) | | */ 'languages' => env('CANVAS_LANGUAGES', 'it') ``` ### Automatic translation [](#automatic-translation) ``` /* |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Enable automatic translation |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | This option allows you to automatically translate all the contents in the | Italian language into any of the available languages. | To enable this function, just enter your google key in the .env file. | | */ 'google_translate' => [ 'access_key' => env('CANVAS_GOOGLE_TRANSLATE_ACCESS_KEY'), ] ``` Updates ------- [](#updates) Canvas follows [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org) and increments versions as `MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH` numbers. - Major versions **will** contain breaking changes, so follow the [upgrade guide](.github/UPGRADE.md) for a step-by-step breakdown - Minor and patch versions should **never** contain breaking changes, so you can safely update the package by following the steps below: You may update your Canvas installation using composer: ``` composer update ``` Run any new migrations using the `canvas:migrate` Artisan command: ``` php artisan canvas:migrate ``` Re-publish the assets using the `canvas:publish` Artisan command: ``` php artisan canvas:publish ``` To keep the assets up-to-date and avoid issues in future updates, you may add the `canvas:publish` command to the `post-update-cmd` scripts in your application's `composer.json` file: ``` { "scripts": { "post-update-cmd": [ "@php artisan canvas:publish --ansi" ] } } ``` Contributing ------------ [](#contributing) Thank you for considering contributing to Canvas!
