Items Management
All three types of users have access to a tags management table page.
Item Management is the most advanced example included in the PRO theme because every item has a picture, has a category and has multiple tags.
The item management can be accessed by clicking Items Management from the
Laravel Examples section of the sidebar or adding /laravel-items-management
in the url. The authenticated user as an Admin or Creator is able to add, edit and delete items.
For adding a new item you can press the + New Item button or add in the url /laravel-new-item.
If you would like to edit or delete a tag you can click on the Action column. It is also possible to sort the fields
or to search in the fields.
On the page for adding a new item you will find a form which allows you to add an image of the item, to fill the name, excerpt, description of the item, a dropdown to choose the category and a multiselect for the tags.
The App\Http\Controllers\ItemsController.php handles data validation when adding a new item and the item creation(see snippet below):
public function store(Request $request)
{
if(!empty($request->file('item_img'))) {
$uniqueFileName = uniqid().$request->file('item_img')->getClientOriginalName();
$request->file('item_img')->move(public_path('/assets/img/items/'),$uniqueFileName);
}
else{
$uniqueFileName = 'default.jpg';
}
$attributes = request()->validate([
'name' => ['required', 'max:50'],
'excerpt' => ['max:150'],
'category_id' => ['required'],
'tag_id' => ['required'],
'description' => ['max:200'],
]);
$request->all();
$optionList = $request->input('option');
$tags = $request->input('tag_id');
$items = new Item();
$items->name = $attributes['name'];
$items->file = $uniqueFileName;
$items->excerpt = $attributes['excerpt'];
$items->description = $request->get('description');
$items->category_id = $attributes['category_id'];
$items->status = $request->get('status');
$items->show_homepage = $request->get('show_homepage');
$items->options = $request->get('option');
$items->date = $request->get('date');
$items->created_at = now();
$items->updated_at = now();
$items->options = json_encode($optionList);
$items->save();
$items->tags()->attach($tags);
return redirect('/laravel-items-management');
}
For deleting an item is necessary to remove the association between item and tags. The App\Http\Controllers\ItemsController.php
handles the deletion of an item:
public function destroy($id)
{
DB::table('items_management')->where('id', $id)->delete();
return redirect('/laravel-items-management');
}
