README

The ArtisanPack UI Core package provides the foundational functionality for the ArtisanPack UI ecosystem. Its primary purpose is to unify all configuration files from multiple ArtisanPack UI packages into a single, centralized artisanpack.php configuration file. This approach eliminates configuration sprawl and provides a single source of truth for all your ArtisanPack UI package settings.

Features

• Unified Configuration Management: Merge all ArtisanPack UI package configurations into a single config/artisanpack.php file
• Automatic Configuration Scaffolding: Use the artisanpack:scaffold-config command to automatically detect and merge configurations from all installed ArtisanPack UI packages
• Preservation of Custom Settings: Existing customizations are preserved when scaffolding configurations
• Laravel Integration: Seamless integration with Laravel's service container and configuration system
• Force Override Option: Ability to force-update existing configuration keys when needed

Installation

You can install the ArtisanPack UI Core package by running the following composer command:

composer require artisanpack-ui/core

The package will automatically register its service provider in Laravel applications.

Configuration

Publishing the Configuration File

To publish the base configuration file to your Laravel application:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=artisanpack-config

This creates a config/artisanpack.php file where all your ArtisanPack UI package configurations will be centralized.

Automatic Configuration Scaffolding

The core package provides a powerful command to automatically scaffold your configuration file with settings from all installed ArtisanPack UI packages:

php artisan artisanpack:scaffold-config

Options:

• --force: Overwrite existing configuration keys (by default, existing keys are preserved)

Manual Configuration

You can also manually configure individual packages in your config/artisanpack.php file:

<?php

return [
    'cms-framework' => [
        'settings' => [
            'site_title' => 'My Awesome Site',
            'theme' => 'modern',
        ],
    ],
    
    'visual-editor' => [
        'autosave_interval' => 300,
        'toolbar_style' => 'minimal',
    ],
    
    'ui-components' => [
        'default_theme' => 'dark',
        'enable_animations' => true,
    ],
];

Usage

Service Provider Integration

The CoreServiceProvider automatically:

• Registers the Core singleton service
• Publishes the configuration file when running in console mode
• Registers the scaffold configuration command

Using the Core Facade

use ArtisanPackUI\Core\Facades\Core;

// Access core functionality through the facade
$core = Core::getInstance();

Configuration Access

Access your unified configurations using Laravel's standard config helper:

// Get a specific package's configuration
$cmsSettings = config('artisanpack.cms-framework');

// Get a specific setting with a default value
$siteTitle = config('artisanpack.cms-framework.settings.site_title', 'Default Title');

// Get all ArtisanPack configurations
$allConfigs = config('artisanpack');

How It Works

1. Installation: When you install ArtisanPack UI packages, they tag their configuration files for discovery
2. Detection: The artisanpack:scaffold-config command automatically detects all tagged configuration files
3. Merging: Configurations are merged into the central config/artisanpack.php file, with each package getting its own section
4. Preservation: Your existing customizations are preserved unless you use the --force flag
5. Access: All configurations are accessible through Laravel's standard configuration system

Example Workflow

# Install core package
composer require artisanpack-ui/core

# Install other ArtisanPack UI packages
composer require artisanpack-ui/cms-framework
composer require artisanpack-ui/visual-editor

# Publish the base configuration
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=artisanpack-config

# Automatically scaffold configurations from all packages
php artisan artisanpack:scaffold-config

# Your config/artisanpack.php now contains unified settings for all packages

Requirements

• PHP ^8.2
• Laravel ^5.3 (illuminate/support)
