Service Provider

• Laravel 5.5 and up Uses package auto discovery feature, no need to edit the config/app.php file.

• Laravel 5.4 and below Add the package to your application service providers in config/app.php file.

'providers' => [

    ...

    /**
     * Third Party Service Providers...
     */
    Exceptio\ApprovalPermission\ApprovalPermissionServiceProvider::class,

],

Config File

Publish the package config file to your application. Run these commands inside your terminal.

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Exceptio\ApprovalPermission\ApprovalPermissionServiceProvider" --tag="config"

you may set approvalpermission-enable to false to disable the feature. you may set do-migration to false in config file to disable the migration. Note: database must have all the necessary tables and columns if you disable migration.

View Files

Publish the view file to your application. Run these commands inside your terminal.

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Exceptio\ApprovalPermission\ApprovalPermissionServiceProvider" --tag="views"

Migration File

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Exceptio\ApprovalPermission\ApprovalPermissionServiceProvider" --tag="migration"

Notificaiton File

Approvable Trait

1. Include Approvable trait to a class for approval process. See example below.

Example Approvable Trait:

<?php

namespace App\Repositories;

use App\Models\User;
use App\Models\Member;

use Exceptio\ApprovalPermission\Approvable;

class MemberRepository
{
    use Approvable;

    const DRAFT_DATA = 0;   // Draft member
    const PENDING_DATA = 1;   // Pending member

    // rest of your code ...
}

Migrations and seeds

This uses the default users table which is in Laravel. You should already have the migration file for the users table available and migrated.

1. Setup the needed tables:

php artisan migrate

1. For seeder publish

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Exceptio\ApprovalPermission\ApprovalPermissionServiceProvider" --tag="seeder"

1. Seed an initial set of Approval sample data.

composer dump-autoload

php artisan db:seed --class="ApprovalSeeder"

And that's it!
