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

[](#installation)

### Requirements

[](#requirements)

### Installing Nexus

[](#installing-nexus)

Run the following command in your console terminal:

```
$ composer require zrkb/nexus
```

Or if you want to download the files, add the following configuration to the composer.json file:

```
    "repositories": [
        {
            "type": "path",
            "url": "../nexus"
        }
    ],
```

Now run:

```
$ composer require zrkb/nexus @dev
```

### Database Credentials

[](#database-credentials)

Next make sure to create a new database and add your database credentials to your `.env` file:

```
DB_HOST=localhost
DB_DATABASE=laravel
DB_USERNAME=laravel
DB_PASSWORD=secret
```

### Run the installer

[](#run-the-installer)

Finally, run the install command and migrate Artisan commands.

```
$ php artisan nexus:install
```

### Admin User

[](#admin-user)

In order to create an user for the admin panel, run the next command:

```
$ php artisan nexus:user
```

### Admin User Provider

[](#admin-user-provider)

Your admin user must subclass from Nexus Admin Model, you can change this in `nexus.php` config file:

```
'providers' => [
    'admins' => [
        'driver' => 'eloquent',
        'model' => \Nexus\Models\Admin::class,
    ],

    // ...
],
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Defining resources

[](#defining-resources)

You may want to generate a new resource using the `nexus:crud` Artisan command:

```
$ php artisan nexus:crud Bookmark
```

This will create the following files:

```
// Model
app/Models/Bookmark.php

// Controller
app/Http/Controllers/Backend/BookmarkController.php

// Migration
database/migrations/YYYY_MM_DD_HHIISS_create_bookmarks_table.php

// Views
resources/views/bookmarks/create.blade.php
resources/views/bookmarks/edit.blade.php
resources/views/bookmarks/form.blade.php
resources/views/bookmarks/index.blade.php
resources/views/bookmarks/show.blade.php
```

> **Note:** You may want to run `php artisan migrate` command to create the table in the database.

### Register Resources

[](#register-resources)

Once the resource are created, we need to add them to the project:

#### 1. Add route

[](#1-add-route)

Edit your `routes/web.php` and the new resource:

```
Nexus::resource('bookmarks', 'BookmarkController');
```

or the equivalent:

```
Nexus::group(function () {
    Route::resource('bookmarks', 'BookmarkController');
});
```

#### 2. Add to sidebar

[](#2-add-to-sidebar)

Edit your `resources/views/vendor/nexus/sidebar/user.blade.php` file and add the code below:

```

        Bookmarks

```

That's all! You may refresh your dashboard page and you'll see a new item in the sidebar, click on it and explore your new resource.

Todo
----

[](#todo)

- Assign permissions automatically to role Developer when creating a resource
- Add middleware for [auth routes redirect](https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/general-discussion/l5-register-a-route-middleware-at-package?page=1) when login
- Migration file stub
- Menus Admin
- Media Library Admin
- Conditionals for stubs files (Case: not all models will use SoftDelete feature)
- Analyze Scaffold vs Runtime Gen
- Separate blog as a package
