Laravel Notes

Easily add notes to your Eloquent models.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require rumspeed/laravel-notes

You can publish and run the migrations with:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="notes-migrations"
php artisan migrate

You can publish the config file with:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="notes-config"

This is the contents of the published config file:

return [

    /* -----------------------------------------------------------------
     |  Models
     | -----------------------------------------------------------------
     */

    'authors' => [
        'table' => 'users',
        'model' => App\Models\User::class,
    ],

    'notes' => [
        'table' => 'notes',
        'model' => Rumspeed\LaravelNotes\Models\Note::class,
    ],
];

Usage

First things first, edit your eloquent model by using the Rumspeed\LaravelNotes\Traits\HasManyNotes trait.

<?php namespace App;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Rumspeed\LaravelNotes\Traits\HasManyNotes;

class Post extends Model {
    use HasManyNotes;

    // Other stuff ...
}

You can also use the Rumspeed\LaravelNotes\Traits\HasOneNote trait if you want to manage one note for your model.

Add a note to a model.

You can call the createNote() method on your Eloquent model like below:

$post = App\Post::first();
$note = $post->createNote('Hello world #1');

Add With a Author/ User

$user = App\User::first();
$post = App\Post::first();
$note = $post->createNote('Hello world #1', $user);

You can also specify how you want to add the author id by using the getCurrentAuthorId():

<?php namespace App;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Rumspeed\LaravelNotes\Traits\HasManyNotes;

class Post extends Model {
    use HasManyNotes;

    // Other stuff ...

    /**
     * Get the current author's id.
     *
     * @return int|null
     */
     protected function getCurrentAuthorId()
     {
         return auth()->id();
     }
}

Getting Notes

$post  = App\Post::first();
$notes = $post->notes;

NOTE : $post->notes relation property is only available in the HasManyNotes trait. If you're using HasOneNote trait, use $post->note instead.

Getting the author's notes

You can also retrieve all the author's notes by using the Rumspeed\LaravelNotes\Traits\AuthoredNotes Trait in your User model (for example).

$user = App\User::first();
$post = App\Post::first();
$post->createNote('Hello world #1', $user);

$notes = $user->authoredNotes;

Finding a note with a specific ID

$post = App\Post::first();
$note = $post->findNote(1);

NOTE : The findNote() method is only available in the HasManyNotes trait.
