Features
--------

[](#features)

This simple package adds a trait to your project that can be used to sort collections of a model by default by a specified column. As a result, the model looks more clean and readable.

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

[](#installation)

Install the package with composer.

```
composer require timwassenburg/default-model-order
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Once you have installed the package, you can import the `DefaultOrder` trait into your model to set the default order. Then, you can assign the desired column to the `$orderBy` variable to order by that column. Additionally, you may optionally set the `$orderDirection` variable to specify the direction of the order, with the default value being `asc`.

```
use TimWassenburg\DefaultModelOrder\DefaultOrder;

class User extends Model
{
    use DefaultOrder;

    protected static string $orderBy = 'name';
    protected static string $orderDirection = 'desc';
}
```

### Publish config (optional)

[](#publish-config-optional)

Suppose you wish to modify the default column name or direction. In that case, you may publish the configuration file to make the necessary adjustments. To do so, run the following command:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="TimWassenburg\DefaultModelOrder\DefaultModelOrderServiceProvider" --tag="config"

```
