README

An easy way for attaching contacts to Eloquent models in Laravel. Inspired by the following packages:

Installation

Require the package by running

composer require chuckcms/laravel-contacts

Publish configuration and migration

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Chuckcms\Contacts\ContactsServiceProvider"

This command will publish a config/contacts.php and a migration file.

You can modify the default fields and their rules by changing both of these files.

After publishing you can run the migrations

php artisan migrate

Usage

You can use the HasContacts trait on any model.

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Chuckcms\Contacts\Traits\HasContacts;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Company extends Model
{
    use HasContacts;

    // ...
}

After doing this you can use the following methods.

Create a new contact and attach it to a model

$company = Company::first();
$company->addContact([
	'first_name' 				=> 'John', // required
	'last_name' 				=> 'Doe', // defaults to: null
	'mobile' 				=> '+32.470123456', // defaults to: null
	'email' 				=> 'john.doe@email.com', // defaults to: null
	'is_public'				=> true, // defaults to: false
	'is_primary'				=> true, // defaults to: false
]);

Attach an existing contact to a model

use Chuckcms\Contacts\Models\Contact;

$contact = Contact::first();
$company = Company::first();

$company->assignContact($contact);

Update an existing contact

$company = Company::first();
$contact = $company->getPrimaryContact();

$company->updateContact($contact, ['middle_name' => 'In The Middle']);

Remove a contact from a model

$company = Company::first();
$contact = $post->contacts()->first();

$company->removeContact($contact);

Remove all contacts from a model and replace with given contacts (sync)

use Chuckcms\Contacts\Models\Contact;

$contacts = Contact::isPublic();
$company = Company::first();

$company->syncContacts($contacts);
// OR
$contacts = Contact::isPrimary()->pluck('id')->toArray();
$company->syncContacts($contacts);
// OR
$contact = Contact::isPrimary()->first();
$company->syncContacts($contact->id);

Delete a contact from any model it's linked to

$company = Company::first();
$contact = $company->contacts()->first();

$company->deleteContact($contact);

Determine if a model has any contacts

$company = Company::first();

if ($company->hasContacts()) {
	//do something
}

Determine if a model has (one of) the given contact(s).

use Chuckcms\Contacts\Models\Contact;

$company = Company::find();
$contact = Contact::first();

if ($company->hasContact($contact)) {
	//do something
}

//OR
if ($company->hasContact($contact->id)) {
	//do something
}

//OR
$contacts = Contact::where('first_name', 'John')->get();
if ($company->hasContact($contacts)) {
	//do something
}

//OR
$contacts = Contact::where('last_name', 'Doe')->pluck('id')->toArray();
if ($company->hasContact($contacts)) {
	//do something
}

This will return true when one of the given contacts belongs to the model.

Getters

You can use the following methods to retrieve contacts and certain attributes.

Get the public contact of the model.

$company = Company::first();

$publicContact = $company->getPublicContact();

Get the primary contact of the model.

$company = Company::first();

$primaryContact = $company->getPrimaryContact();

Get the first names of all contacts of the model.

$company = Company::first();

$first_names = $company->getContactFirstNames();
