Installation and Requirements
-----------------------------

[](#installation-and-requirements)

1. Install the `seriousjelly/laravel-draftable` package via composer:

    ```
    $ composer require seriousjelly/laravel-draftable
    ```
2. Add the service provider (`config/app.php` for Laravel 5):

    ```
    # Add the service provider to the `providers` array
    'providers' => array(
        ...
        'Seriousjelly\Draftable\ServiceProvider',
    )
    ```
3. Ensure that your migrations contain a `status` column by copy & pasting the below into your table migration file:

    ```
    # Add a status column to the table, feel free to change the default value.
    $table->boolean('status')->default(0);
    ```

Updating your Eloquent Models
-----------------------------

[](#updating-your-eloquent-models)

Your models should use Draftable's trait:

```
use Seriousjelly\Draftable\DraftableTrait;

class MyModel extends Model
{
    use Draftable;
}
```

Your model is now draftable!

Using this trait
----------------

[](#using-this-trait)

By default all records that have a status of 0 will be excluded from your query results. To include draft records, all you need to do is call the `withDrafts()` method on your query.

```
// Returns only live data
Posts::get();

//Returns live & draft data
Posts::withDrafts()->get();
```

Still To Do
-----------

[](#still-to-do)

- Add onlyDrafts() method.
- Add artisan command to create `status` column on a table you choose (i.e `php artisan draftable:table table_name`.
- Allow the user to specify the column name in this package config (currently hardcoded to status).
