Installation

composer require supaapps/supaapps-laravel-api-kit

Usage

Generate CRUD controller

To create crud controller, run the following command:

php artisan make:crud-controller

CRUD

To get advantage of CRUD boilerplate controller, extend BaseCrudController in your controller. Example:

use Supaapps\LaravelApiKit\Controllers\BaseCrudController;

class ExampleController extends BaseCrudController
{
    public string $model = \App\Models\Example::class; // replace with your model
}

Available CRUD properties

There are multiple properties you can use within your CRUD controller:

• The model for CRUD operations. (required)

public string $model = \App\Models\Example::class; // replace with your model

Properties used by CrudIndexTrait

• Paginate the response from index response or not.

public bool $shouldPaginate = false;

• Perform searches on single column using the search parameter from the request. If you want to search multiple columns use $searchSimilarFields, see next property.

public ?string $searchField = null; // replace with desired column

All of the upcoming properties should be array. If you want to add some logic head to CRUD controller override

• Perform a lookup for similar results in the specified columns using the LIKE operator with the search parameter from the request.

public array $searchSimilarFields = [];

In following example, it lockups for %supa% in either name or description

// user hit endpoint > /example?search=supa

public array $searchSimilarFields = [
    'name',
    'description',
];

• Perform a lookup for exact results in the specified columns using the = operator with the search parameter from the request.

public array $searchExactFields = [];

In following example, it lockups for 1 in id, price or category_id

// user hit endpoint > /example?search=1

public array $searchExactFields = [
    'id',
    'price',
    'category_id',
];

• Perform a lookup for results in the specified columns wrapping the search parameter from the request with DATE() mysql function.

public array $searchDateFields = [];

In following example, it lockups for 2023-09-26 in completed_at, created_at or updated_at

// user hit endpoint > /example?search=2023-09-26

public array $searchDateFields = [
    'completed_at',
    'created_at',
    'updated_at',
];

• Filter columns by exact given values. Ensure that the columns entered are in plural form.

public array $filters = [];

In the following example, it will apply the query WHERE id IN (1, 2) AND code IN ('ABC')

// user hit endpoint > /example?ids[]=1&ids[]=2&codes[]=ABC

public array $filters = [
    'ids',
    'codes',
];

• Filter date columns by min and max values

public array $dateFilters = [];

In the following example, it will search the records that have created_at larger than create_at_min and less than created_at_max and updated_at larger than updated_at_min

// user hit endpoint > /example?created_at_min=2023-09-01&created_at_max=2023-09-30&updated_at_min=2023-09-15

public array $dateFilters = [
    'created_at',
    'updated_at',
];

• Filter columns that are NULL or NOT NULL

public ?array $isEmptyFilters = [];

In the following example, user wants to get the completed and not cancelled rewards. These rewards have completed_at IS NOT NULL and cancelled_at IS NULL

// user hit endpoint > /example?is_empty[completed_at]=false&is_empty[cancelled_at]=true

public ?array $isEmptyFilters = [
    'completed_at',
    'cancelled_at',
];

• Define default order by column

public ?array $defaultOrderByColumns = null;

In the following example, there are 2 order by rules are defined in the controller. The results will be ordered by created_at descending and by id ascending.

public ?array $defaultOrderByColumns = [
    'created_at,desc',
    'id,asc'
];

But if the request has sort query parameter, then it will override the defaultOrderByColumns. Example:

/sort?sort[id]=desc&sort[name]=asc

This will sort the results first by id descending then by name ascending

Properties used by UpdateIndexTrait

• Disable updates on the model.

public bool $readOnly = false;

Properties used by DeleteIndexTrait

• Enable deletion for the model.

public bool $isDeletable = false;

CRUD Controller Override

If you want to add more logic to properties, you can override properties in your controller using getters. For example: you want to return different $searchExactFields depending on a condition:

private function getSearchExactFields(): array
{
    if (request('user_type') == 'admin') {
        return [
            'admin_id'
        ];
    }

    return [
        'user_id'
    ];
}

Override methods in CrudIndexTrait

• Override $searchSimilarFields

private function getSearchSimilarFields(): array;

• Override $searchExactFields

private function getSearchExactFields(): array;

• Override $searchDateFields

private function getSearchDateFields(): array;

• Override $filters

private function getFilters(): array;

• Override $dateFilters

private function getDateFilters(): array;

• Override $isEmptyFilters

private function getIsEmptyFilters(): array;

• Get allowed list that can be ordered by

// by default, it merges the values from:
//    $this->getSearchSimilarFields(),
//    $this->getSearchExactFields(),
//    $this->getSearchDateFields()
private function getOrderByColumns(): array;

• Override $defaultOrderByColumns

private function getDefaultOrderByColumns(): ?array;

User signature

You can keep track of created and updated user of your model in 3 steps:

1. Include required columns to your model schema

Schema::table('articles', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->auditIds();
});

Where auditIds accepts 2 parameters

• table: the related table name, default: users
• column: the related column name on related table, default id

1. Include custom columns to your model $fillable property

protected $fillable = [
    'created_by_id',
    'updated_by_id',
    ...
]

1. Add observer to your model

// in src/Providers/EventServiceProvider.php add the following line

protected $observers = [
    \App\Models\Article::class => [ // replace Article with your model
        \Supaapps\LaravelApiKit\Observers\UserSignatureObserver::class,
    ],
    ...
];
