📝 Introduction
--------------

[](#-introduction)

One thing we at [Nodes](http://nodesagency.com) have been missing in [Laravel](http://laravel.com/docs) is a fast implemented backend which is easy to build on top of

📦 Installation
--------------

[](#-installation)

To install this package you will need:

- Laravel 5.1+
- PHP 5.5.9+

You must then modify your `composer.json` file and run `composer update` to include the latest version of the package in your project.

```
"require": {
    "nodes/backend": "3.1.*",
}

```

Or you can run the composer require command from your terminal.

```
composer require nodes/backend

```

🔧 Setup
-------

[](#-setup)

Setup service providers in config/app.php

```
Nodes\Backend\ServiceProvider::class,
Nodes\Assets\ServiceProvider::class,
Nodes\Validation\ServiceProvider::class,
Nodes\Cache\ServiceProvider::class,
Collective\Html\HtmlServiceProvider::class,
Nodes\ServiceProvider::class,

```

Setup alias in config/app.php

```
'Backend'        => Nodes\Backend\Support\Facades\Backend::class,
'Form'           => Collective\Html\FormFacade::class,
'Html'           => Collective\Html\HtmlFacade::class,

```

Publish config file all config files at once, we need to use force on backend, since we override gulp. The regular vendor:publish is for the 3 other packages

```
php artisan vendor:publish && php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Nodes\Backend\ServiceProvider" --force

```

Publish config file for backend plugin only

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Nodes\Backend\ServiceProvider"

```

Overwrite config file for backend plugin only

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Nodes\Backend\ServiceProvider" --force

```

Add following to your /database/seeds/DatabaseSeeder.php

```
$this->call('NodesBackendSeeder');

```

Dump

```
composer dump-autoload

```

Now you can call php artisan migrate --seed Which will add the new tables and seed the roles/users to get going

Add to config/nodes/autoload.php

```
'project/Routes/Backend/',

```

Run bower, npm & gulp to build css & js

```
bower install && npm install && gulp build

```

Set up CSRF by pass in App\\Http\\Middleware\\VerifyCsrfToken.php

```
protected $except = [
    'admin/manager_auth',
];

```

Make TokenMismatch exceptions more user friendly, add following to App\\Exceptions\\Handler.php

```
public function render($request, Exception $e)
{
    // Just redirect back to previous route if there is any, else all the way back to dashboard
    // Instead of a ugly whoops error!
    if ($exception instanceof TokenMismatchException) {
        try {
            return redirect()->back()->with('error', 'Token mismatch, try again')->send();
        } catch (\Throwable $e) {}
    }
    ....
}

```

⚙ Usage
-------

[](#-usage)

Redirect with flash

```
redirect()->back()->withInput()->with('error', 'Unknown Error') // Only strings
redirect()->back()->withInput()->with('errors', $myErrorBag)
redirect()->back()->withInput()->with('errors', $myValidator->errorsBag());
