📋 Requirements

PHP ^8.1
Laravel ^10.0|^11.0|^12.0
OpenProject instance with API access
OpenProject API key

📦 Installation

Install the package via Composer:

composer require haevol/laravel-openproject-feedback

Publish Configuration

Publish the configuration file:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=openproject-feedback-config

This will create config/openproject-feedback.php. Configure your OpenProject settings:

'openproject' => [
    'url' => env('OPENPROJECT_URL'),
    'api_key' => env('OPENPROJECT_API_KEY'),
    'project_id' => env('OPENPROJECT_PROJECT_ID'),
    'type_name' => env('OPENPROJECT_TYPE_NAME', 'Bug'),
    'status_name' => env('OPENPROJECT_STATUS_NAME', 'New'),
],

Environment Variables

Add to your .env file:

OPENPROJECT_URL=http://your-openproject-instance.com
OPENPROJECT_API_KEY=your-api-key
OPENPROJECT_PROJECT_ID=1
OPENPROJECT_TYPE_NAME=Bug
OPENPROJECT_STATUS_NAME=New

Publish Assets

Publish the JavaScript widget:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=openproject-feedback-assets

This copies the widget to resources/js/vendor/openproject-feedback/.

Include in Your Layout

Add the widget component to your main layout (e.g., resources/views/layouts/app.blade.php):

<x-openproject-feedback::feedback-widget />

Note: The widget uses @vite() for asset loading. Make sure your layout has a @stack('scripts') directive where scripts are loaded.

Compile Assets

Add to your vite.config.js:

import { defineConfig } from 'vite';
import laravel from 'laravel-vite-plugin';

export default defineConfig({
    plugins: [
        laravel({
            input: [
                'resources/js/app.js',
                'resources/js/vendor/openproject-feedback/feedback-widget.js', // Add this
            ],
        }),
    ],
});

Then compile:

npm run build

Or for development:

npm run dev

🎨 Configuration

Widget Appearance

Customize the widget in config/openproject-feedback.php:

'widget' => [
    'enabled' => true,
    'position' => 'bottom-left', // top-left, top-right, bottom-left, bottom-right
    'offset' => [
        'bottom' => 64,  // pixels from bottom
        'top' => 16,     // pixels from top
        'left' => 0,     // pixels from left
        'right' => 16,   // pixels from right
    ],
    'z_index' => 50,
    'color' => [
        'primary' => '#3b82f6',   // Tailwind blue-500
        'hover' => '#2563eb',     // Tailwind blue-600
    ],
    'text' => 'FEEDBACK',
    'show_only_authenticated' => true,
],

Routes Configuration

Customize the feedback submission route:

'routes' => [
    'enabled' => true,
    'prefix' => 'api',
    'middleware' => ['web', 'auth'],
],

Form Configuration

Configure form fields and validation:

'form' => [
    'subject' => [
        'required' => true,
        'max_length' => 255,
    ],
    'description' => [
        'required' => true,
        'max_length' => 5000,
    ],
    'screenshot' => [
        'enabled' => true,
        'max_size' => 5120, // KB
    ],
],

🚀 Usage

Once installed and configured, the widget will automatically appear on your pages (if show_only_authenticated is enabled, only for authenticated users).

How It Works

User clicks the feedback button - A beautiful modal opens
User fills the form - Title, description, and optional screenshot
Form submission - Feedback is sent to your Laravel application
OpenProject integration - A work package is automatically created in OpenProject
User confirmation - User sees a success message

Customizing the Widget

You can customize the widget appearance by editing the published view:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=openproject-feedback-views

This will publish the view to resources/views/vendor/openproject-feedback/components/feedback-widget.blade.php.

🔧 Advanced Usage

Programmatic Feedback Submission

You can also submit feedback programmatically:

use Haevol\OpenProjectFeedback\Services\OpenProjectService;

$service = app(OpenProjectService::class);

$result = $service->createWorkPackage([
    'subject' => 'Bug Report',
    'description' => 'Detailed description...',
    'project_id' => 1,
    'type_name' => 'Bug',
    'status_name' => 'New',
    'user' => [
        'id' => auth()->id(),
        'name' => auth()->user()->name,
        'email' => auth()->user()->email,
    ],
]);
