README

Handles any model to became publishable.

Requirements

  • "neon/model-uuid": "^1.0"

Install

Easily install the composer package:

composer require neon/model-publishable

Usage

Database

In the database, Publishable needs two datetime fields:

  • published_at to store from when we should show.
    $table->timestamp('published_at')
      ->nullable()
      ->default(null);
    
  • expired_at to store when the record will be expired.
    $table->timestamp('expired_at')
      ->nullable()
      ->default(null);
    

Both of them nullable with the default value NULL.

Model

In the model we just should apply Publishable Trait like this:

use Neon\Model\Traits\Publishable;

class AwesomeModel extends Model
{
    use Publishable;
}

Then you can use some common method, like:

  • To publish a model, there is $model->publish() method.
  • If you have to publish in a certain time, you can use $model->publishedAt($timestamp) method.
  • To make it expire you can use $model->expire() and $model->expiredAt($timestamp) method.

The Published scope automatically being applied to the model. If you would like to get all the models, you can query with ->withNotPublished() method then the scope will not applied.

Events

This trait add some new Eloquent Model event:

  • publishing will be called after publish() or publishedAt() method called but before save.
  • After save will be published event fired.
  • For expiring there are expiring and expired methods.
