---------------------

[](#multi-level-category)

Categorize is a category management for Laravel 4.

### Installation

[](#installation)

- [Categorize on Packagist](https://packagist.org/packages/teepluss/categorize)

```

You'll then need to run `composer install` to download it and have the autoloader updated.

Once Attach is installed you need to register the service provider with the application. Open up `app/config/app.php` and find the `providers` key.

```
'providers' => array(

    'Teepluss\Categorize\CategorizeServiceProvider'

)

```

Publish config using artisan CLI.

```
php artisan config:publish teepluss/categorize

```

```
php artisan migrate --package=teepluss/categorize

```

```
$categorize = Categorize::prepare(array(

    'title'       => 'Hardware',
    'description' => 'Hardware is a ...'
));

$categorize->makeRoot();
```

Creating category as a child of parent.

```
$categorize = Categorize::prepare(array(

    'description' => 'CPU is a ...'
));

$parent = Categorize::getCategoryProvider()->findById(1);
// or
// $parent = Categorize::getCategoryProvider()->findByName('Hardware');

$categorize->makeChildOf($parent);
```

Moving to a new root.

```
$category = Categorize::getCategoryProvider()->findByName('Hardware - CPU');

$category->makeRoot();
```

$category = Categorize::getCategoryProvider()->findByName('Hardware - CPU');

$parent = Categorize::getCategoryProvider()->findByName('Software');

$category->makeChildOf($parent);
```

$category = Categorize::getCategoryProvider()->findByName('Hardware - CPU');
$category->fill(array(
    'title'       => 'Software - Office',
    'description' => 'Documenting'
));

$category->save();

```

```
$category = Categorize::getCategoryProvider()->findByName('Hardware');

var_dump($category->getChildren()->toArray());
```

```
$categories = Categorize::getCategoryProvider()->whereType('Blog')->get();

// Build only root categories.

$categories = Categorize::getCategoryProvider()->root()->whereType('Blog')->get();

var_dump(Categorize::tree($categories)->toArray());
```
