This package provides a `star` field type for the [Backpack for Laravel](https://backpackforlaravel.com/) administration panel. The `star` field allows admins to ***change* the value of a integer variable in order to rate the item, in a prettier way**. It uses a CSS-only solution, so it has zero external dependencies and zero javascript.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Via Composer

```
composer require soufiene-slimi/star-field-for-backpack
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Inside your custom CrudController:

```
CRUD::addField([
    'view_namespace' => 'star-field-for-backpack::fields',
    'name' => 'rate',
    'type' => 'star',
    // 'label' => 'Rating', // (optional)
    // 'count' => 8, // (optional) the max rate count; default value is 5
    // 'default' => 6, // (optional) the default checked rate on new item creation
    // 'hint' => 'Cheer up!', // (optional)
    // 'options' => [ // (optional) customize the look
    //     'icon' => '★', // (optional) the default icon is ★
    //     'unchecked_color' => '#ccc', // (optional) the default value is #ccc
    //     'checked_color' => '#ffc700', // (optional) the default value is #ffc700
    //     'hover_color' => '#c59b08', // (optional) the default value is #c59b08
    // ],
]);
```

Notice the `view_namespace` attribute - make sure that is exactly as above, to tell Backpack to load the field from this *addon package*, instead of assuming it's inside the *Backpack\\CRUD package*.

Overwriting
-----------

[](#overwriting)

If you need to change the field in any way, you can easily publish the file to your app, and modify that file any way you want. But please keep in mind that you will not be getting any updates.

**Step 1.** Copy-paste the blade file to your directory:

```
# create the fields directory if it's not already there
mkdir -p resources/views/vendor/backpack/crud/fields

# copy the blade file inside the folder we created above
cp -i vendor/soufiene-slimi/star-field-for-backpack/src/resources/views/fields/star.blade.php resources/views/vendor/backpack/crud/fields/star.blade.php
```

**Step 2.** Remove the vendor namespace wherever you've used the field:

```
$this->crud->addField([
-   'view_namespace' => 'star-field-for-backpack::fields'
    'name' => 'rate',
    'type' => 'star',
]);
```

**Step 3.** Uninstall this package. Since it only provides one file - `star.blade.php`, and you're no longer using that file, it makes no sense to have the package installed:

```
composer remove soufiene-slimi/star-field-for-backpack
```
