Laravel Publishable

Introduction

A package for making Laravel Eloquent models "publishable" using 4 states : draft, published, unpublished and scheduled. Manage an additional published_first_at date for order by and display.

Requirements

• Laravel >= 10.0
• PHP >= 8.2

NOTE: These instructions are for Laravel >= 10.0 and PHP >= 8.2 If you are using prior version, please see the previous version's docs.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require novius/laravel-publishable

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Novius\Publishable\LaravelPublishableServiceProvider" --tag=lang

Usage

Migrations

Schema::create('posts', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->id();
    $table->string('title');
    $table->text('text');
    $table->timestamps();
    $table->publishable(); // Macro provided by the package
});

Eloquent Model Trait

namespace App\Models;

use \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use \Novius\LaravelPublishable\Publishable;

class Post extends Model {
    use Publishable;
    ...
}

Extensions

The extensions shipped with this trait include; notPublished, published, onlyDrafted, onlyExpired, onlyWillBePublished and can be used accordingly:

$post = Post::first();
$post->isPublished();

$postsPublished = Post::all();
$postsPublished = Post::query()->published();
$onlyNotPublishedPosts = Post::query()->notPublished();
$onlyDraftedPosts = Post::query()->onlyDrafted();
$onlyExpiredPosts = Post::query()->onlyExpired();
$onlyWillBePublishedPosts = Post::query()->onlyWillBePublished();

When not specifing any additional scopes, all not published models are excluded from the query by default to prevent leaks of not published data.
