This is a pool of presentation and editing widgets (Grids and Forms) for laravel 4.
Nothing to "generate", just some classes to let you develop and maintain CRUD backends in few lines of code.

DataSet can paginate results starting from query, eloquent collection or multidimensional array.
It add the ability to order result and keep persistence of all params in query string.
i.e.:
/dataset/uri?page=2&ord=-name will get page 2 order by "name" descending
/dataset/uri?page=3&ord=name&other=xx will get page 3 order by "name" and keeping "other=xx"
in a controller
//using table name
$dataset = DataSet::source("tablename")->paginate(10)->getSet();
//or using query
$dataset = DataSet::source(DB::table('users')->select('name', 'email'))->paginate(10)->getSet();
//or using eloquent model or eloquent builder
$dataset = DataSet::source(new Article)->paginate(10)->getSet();
$dataset = DataSet::source(Article::with('author'))->paginate(10)->getSet();
//or using array
$dataset = DataSet::source($multidimensional_array)->paginate(10)->getSet();in a view you can use
<p>
//cycle
@foreach ($dataset->data as $item)
//field
{{ $item->title }}<br />
//field from relation
{{ $item->author->name }}<br />
@endforeach
//pagination links
{{ $dataset->links() }} <br />
//sort link
{{ $dataset->orderbyLink('title', 'asc') }} <br />
</p>DataGrid extend DataSet to make data-grid output with few lines of fluent code.
It build a bootstrap striped table, with pagination at bottom and order-by links on table header.
It support also blade syntax inline.
in a controller
$grid = DataGrid::source(Article::with('author')); //same source types of DataSet
$grid->add('title','Title', true); //field name, label, sortable
$grid->add('author.firstname','Body'); //relation.fieldname
$grid->add('{{ substr($body,0,20) }}...','Body'); //blade syntax with main field
$grid->add('{{ $author->firstname }}','Author'); //blade syntax with related field
$grid->edit('/dataedit/uri', 'Edit','modify|delete'); //shortcut to link DataEdit actions
$grid->orderBy('article_id','desc'); //default orderby
$grid->paginate(10); //pagination
View::make('articles', array('grid'=>$grid->getGrid()))
//since we use also __toString() you can do..
...
View::make('articles', compact('grid'))in a view you can just write
#articles.blade.php
{{ $grid }}styling a datagrid
...
$grid->add('title','Title', true)->style("width:100px"); //adding style to th
$grid->add('body','Body')->attributes(array("class"=>"custom_column")); //adding class to a th
...
//row and cell manipulation via closure
$grid->row(function ($row) {
if ($row->cells[0]->value > 15) {
$row->cells[0]->style("font-weight:bold");
$row->style("color:#f00");
}
});
...DataForm is a form builder, you can add fields, rules and buttons.
It will build a bootstrap form, on submit it will check rules and if validation pass it'll store new entity.
//start with empty form to create new Article
$form = DataForm::source(new Article);
//or find a record to update some value
$form = DataForm::source(Article::find(1));
//add fields to the form
$form->add('title','Title', 'text'); //field name, label, type
$form->add('body','Body', 'textarea')->rule('required'); //validation
//you can also use shorthand methods, add{Type}(...
$form->addText('title','Title'); //field name, label
$form->addTextarea('body','Body')->rule('required');
//then a submit button
$form->submit('Save');
//at the end you can use closure to add stuffs or redirect after save
$form->saved(function() use ($form)
{
$form->message("ok record saved");
$form->link("/another/url","Next Step");
});
View::make('article', compact('form')) #article.blade.php
{{ $form }}note: DataForm can also work without entity, just as Form builder, use DataForm::create() instead of DataForm::source in this case
DataEdit extends DataForm, it's a full CRUD application for given Entity.
It has status (create, modify, show) and actions (insert, update, delete)
It detect status by simple query string semantic:
/dataedit/uri empty form to CREATE new records
/dataedit/uri?show={record_id} filled output to READ record (without form)
/dataedit/uri?modify={record_id} filled form to UPDATE a record
/dataedit/uri?delete={record_id} perform record DELETE
...
//simple crud for Article entity
$edit = DataEdit::source(new Article);
$edit->add('title','Title', 'text')->rule('required');
$edit->add('body','Body','textarea')->rule('required');
$edit->add('photo','Photo', 'file')->rule('image')->move('uploads/');
return $edit->view('crud', compact('edit')); #crud.blade.php
{{ $edit }}note: we use $edit->view method instead View::make for a reason: DataEdit must manage redirects. With other widgets you should use View facade as default.
DataFilter extends DataForm, each field you add and each value you fill in that form is used to build a where clause (by default using 'like' operator).
It should be used in conjunction with a DataSet or DataGrid to filter results.
$filter = DataFilter::source(new Article);
$filter->add('title','Title', 'text');
$filter->submit('search');
$filter->reset('reset');
$grid = DataGrid::source($filter);
$grid->add('nome','Title', true);
$grid->add('{{ substr($body,0,20) }}...','Body');
$grid->paginate(10);
View::make('articles', compact('filter', 'grid')) # articles.blade
{{ $filter }}
{{ $grid }}To composer.json add:
"zofe/rapyd": "1.1.*" for 4.1 or
"zofe/rapyd": "1.2.*" for 4.2 or
"zofe/rapyd": "dev-master" for 4.1, with latest stuffs (may be unstable)
In app/config/app.php add:
'Zofe\Rapyd\RapydServiceProvider',
then run: $ composer update zofe/rapyd.
You need to publish the assets from this package.
$ php artisan asset:publish zofe/rapyd
Note: The public assets can change overtime (because of upstream changes), it is recommended to re-publish them after update.
Alternatively you can add the publish command in composer.json.
"post-update-cmd": [
"php artisan asset:publish zofe/rapyd"
],
You need also to add this to your views, to let rapyd add runtime assets:
<head>
...
<link rel="stylesheet" href="//netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.0.3/css/bootstrap.min.css">
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.1.min.js"></script>
<script src="//netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.0.3/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
{{ Rapyd::head() }}
</head>note: widget output is in standard with Boostrap 3+, and some widget need support of JQuery 1.9+ so be sure to include dependencies as above
Rapyd use a "widget" approach to make a crud, without "generation". (this approach is worst in terms of flexibility but fast/rapid in terms of development and maintenance):
You need to "show" and "edit" record from an entity?
Ok so you need a DataGrid and DataEdit.
You can build widgets where you want (even multiple widgets on same route).
An easy way to work with rapyd is:
- make a route to a controller for each entity you need to manage
- make the entity controller with one method for each widget (one for a datagrid and one for a dataedit)
- make an empty view, include bootstrap and display content that rapyd will build for you
Rapyd comes with demo (controller, models, views) to run it just add:
/app/routes.php
...
Route::controller('rapyd-demo', 'Zofe\\Rapyd\\Controllers\\DemoController');then go to:
/rapyd-demo
or use the one that is online:
