This package makes it easy to expose application data to [There There](https://there-there.app). When a customer opens a ticket in There There, it will call your application to fetch relevant data and display it in the sidebar.

You can install the package via composer:

```
composer require spatie/laravel-there-there
```

You can publish the config file with:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --tag="there-there-config"
```

This is the contents of the published config file:

```
return [
    'secret' => env('THERE_THERE_SECRET'),
    'url' => '/there-there',
    'middleware' => [
        Spatie\ThereThere\Http\Middleware\IsValidThereThereRequest::class,
        'api',
    ],
];
```

Add the secret to your `.env` file. You can find it in your There There workspace settings.

```
THERE_THERE_SECRET=your-secret-here

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

In a service provider (for example `AppServiceProvider`), register a sidebar callback using the `ThereThere` facade:

```
use Spatie\ThereThere\Facades\ThereThere;
use Spatie\ThereThere\SidebarItem;
use Spatie\ThereThere\Http\Requests\ThereThereRequest;

ThereThere::sidebar(function (ThereThereRequest $request) {
    $user = User::firstWhere('email', $request->email());

    if (! $user) {
        return [];
    }

    return [
        SidebarItem::markdown('Name', $user->name),
        SidebarItem::date('Registered at', $user->created_at),
        SidebarItem::numeric('Total orders', $user->orders()->count()),
        SidebarItem::boolean('Is subscribed', $user->subscribed()),
    ];
});
```

Each `SidebarItem` has a name, value, and type. The following types are available:

TypeMethodValue`numeric``SidebarItem::numeric($name, $value)`An integer or float`markdown``SidebarItem::markdown($name, $value)`A string (supports Markdown)`date``SidebarItem::date($name, $value)`A `DateTimeInterface` or ISO 8601 string`boolean``SidebarItem::boolean($name, $value)`A booleanThe package will respond with JSON in this format:

```
{
    "data": [
        {"name": "Name", "value": "John Doe", "type": "markdown"},
        {"name": "Registered at", "value": "2024-01-15T10:30:00+00:00", "type": "date"},
        {"name": "Total orders", "value": 42, "type": "numeric"},
        {"name": "Is subscribed", "value": true, "type": "boolean"}
    ]
}
```
