README

Add functionality to save/get in session recently viewed entities

You can track any number of entities. Each list will be saved separately.

Session storage (without persist)

For example:

"recently_viewed" => array:2 [
  "App\Models\Product" => array:2 [
    0 => 'a3cda131-e599-4802-84ea-a3dddc19fa8c'
    1 => '4413b636-9752-43b3-8361-3ef38c27acf9'
  ]
  "App\Domain\Property" => array:3 [
    0 => 133
    1 => 134
    2 => 653
  ]
]

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require think.studio/laravel-recently-viewed

You can publish the config file with:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="RecentlyViewed\ServiceProvider" --tag="config"

Configuration in .env

# Optional
RECENTLY_VIEWED_SESSION_PREFIX=recently_viewed

Usage example

<?php
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use RecentlyViewed\Models\Contracts\Viewable;
use RecentlyViewed\Models\Traits\CanBeViewed;

class Product extends Model implements Viewable
{
    // implement interface
    use CanBeViewed;
}

<?php
class ProductController extends Controller
 {
     public function show(Product $product)
     {
         \RecentlyViewed\Facades\RecentlyViewed::add($product);
 
         return view('my-view');
     }
 }

<?php
class ProductsViewComposer
{
    public function compose(View $view)
    {
        $view->with([
            'recentlyViewedProducts' => \RecentlyViewed\Facades\RecentlyViewed::get(Product::class),
            // or
            'recentlyViewedProductsWithoutLast' => \RecentlyViewed\Facades\RecentlyViewed::get(Product::class)->slice(1),
        ]);
        // or
        $view->with([
            'recentlyViewedProductsFiltered' => \RecentlyViewed\Facades\RecentlyViewed::getQuery(Product::class)
            ?->where('not_display_in_recently_list', false)->get()
            ??collect([]),
        ]);
    }
}

Add persist storage

You can enable migration and run the migrations with adding this to register() in AppServiceProvider or any other service provider:

\RecentlyViewed\PersistManager::enableMigrations();

php artisan migrate

Configuration in .env

RECENTLY_VIEWED_PERSIST_ENABLED=true

use RecentlyViewed\Models\Contracts\Viewer;
use RecentlyViewed\Models\Traits\CanView;

class User extends Authenticatable implements Viewer
{
    use CanView;

    // ...
}

Add "merge" method after login (if you want merge saved data before login and already stored data)

class LoginController extends Controller
{
    // ...

    protected function authenticated(Request $request, $user)
    {
        \RecentlyViewed::mergePersistToCurrentSession();
    }
}
