Brands CRUD

Create database table through database migration

In root folder of your project, run the following command in the terminal to create model and migration for `brands` database table.

php artisan make:model Brand -m

Add the following code to the up() function of the brands table migration file.

...

public function up()
{
    Schema::create('brands', function (Blueprint $table) {

        $table->id();
        $table->timestamps();

        // column to store image path
        $table->string('image')->nullable();

        // column to store brand name
        $table->string('name')->unique();

        // column to specify if brand is active or not
        $table->boolean('is_active')->default(true);

        // columns for storing created_by, updated_by, craeted_at 
        // and updated_at
        SpeedAdminHelpers::createdByUpdatedByMigrations($table);
    });
}
...

Run command php artisan migrate to create the "brands" database table.

Add CRUD functionality to Brand Model

Add the following code to Brand.php (model file). See comments in the following code for more information.

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

// This trait contains CRUD related functions
use MuhammadInaamMunir\SpeedAdmin\Traits\Crud;

// This class contains Grid (datatable) related functions
use MuhammadInaamMunir\SpeedAdmin\Misc\GridHelper;

class Brand extends Model
{
    use HasFactory, Crud;   // add Crud

    // Add text attribute to the model
    protected $appends = ['text'];
    public function getTextAttribute()
    {
        return $this->name;
    }

    // Add a constructor. 
    // We will initialize CRUD functionality in constructor
    public function __construct()
    {
        parent::__construct();

        $this->setSingularTitle('Brand');
        $this->setPluralTitle('Brands');

        // speed-admin will create model's (Add/Edit/Delete/List) permissions
        // based on this permissionId.
        // if we set permission id 'brand', then speed-admin will create following permissoins:
        // (brand-add, brand-edit, brand-delete, brand-list)
        $this->setPermissionId('brand');

        // call function to add Grid columns
        $this->addGridColumns();

        // call function to add Form fields
        $this->addFormFields();
    }

    // we can customize query to show Grid(datatable)
    public function getGridQuery()
    {
        return $this;
    }

    public function addGridColumns()
    {
        // we will add code of this function in next part of documentation
    }

    public function addFormFields()
    {
        // we will add code of this function in next part of documentation
    }
}

Add columns for Grid (datatable):

Add following code to function addGridColumns() . In the following code, we are adding three columns to be shown in the grid (datatable).

public function addGridColumns()
{
    $this->addGridColumn([
        'id' => 'image', 
        'title' => __('Image'), 
        'render_function' => function ($brand) {
            return GridHelper::renderImage($brand->image);
        }
    ]);
    $this->addGridColumn([
        'id' => 'name', 
        'title' => __('Name'), 
        'render_function' => function ($brand) {
            return $brand->name;
        }
    ]);
    $this->addGridColumn([
        'id' => 'is_active', 
        'title' => __('Active'), 
        'render_function' => function ($brand) {
            return GridHelper::renderBoolean($brand->is_active);
        }
    ]);
}

Add permissions for Brands (Add/Edit/Delete/List)

Add the following code in the boot() function in AppServiceProvider.php to add permissions related to the brand entity.

public function boot()
{
    ...

    // this function will add permissions
    // define this function below
    $this->addPermissions();
}

private function addPermissions()
{
    $permissions = $this->app->make('speed-admin-permissions');

    $permissions->addModelPermissions(
        'Orders Management',
        \App\Models\Brand::class,
        true,
        true,
        true,
        true
    );
}

Visit localhost:8000/admin/roles/create and you can see the permissions:

Add BrandController

Run the following command in the terminal to create BrandController

php artisan make:controller BrandController

Update BrandController.php file as shown below:

BrandController.php

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

// base controller, it handles all CRUD functionality
use MuhammadInaamMunir\SpeedAdmin\Http\Controllers\SpeedAdminBaseController;

// Brand model
use App\Models\Brand;

class BrandController extends SpeedAdminBaseController
{
    protected $model = Brand::class;
    protected $index_url = 'admin/brands';
}

Add the following code in the boot() function in AppServiceProvider.php to add menu:

public function boot()
{
    ...
    ...
    ...

    $this->setMenu();
}

private function setMenu()
{
    $menu = $this->app->make('speed-admin-menu');

    // add parent menu
    $menu->addMenu('side-bar', [
        'id' => 'orders-management',
        'parent_id' => null,
        'before_id' => null,
        'title' => __('Orders management'),
        'icon' => 'cil-speedometer',
        'permission' => null 
    ]);

    // add brand menu
    $menu->addMenu('side-bar', [
        'id' => 'brands-list',
        'parent_id' => 'orders-management',
        'before_id' => null,
        'title' => __('Brands'),
        'icon' => 'cil-speedometer',
        'permission' => null,
        'href' => url(config('speed-admin.admin_url')) . '/brands',
    ]);
}

Add route for brands

Add route in web.php (routes\web.php).

routes\web.php

use App\Http\Controllers\BrandController;

...
...


// Route Group
Route::middleware(['web', 'admin_auth', 'language'])
->prefix(config('speed-admin.admin_url'))
->name('admin.')
->group(function () {

    // Brand Routes    
    Route::resource('brands', BrandController::class);
    Route::get('brands-data', [BrandController::class, 'getData']);

});

Now you can click on "Brands" menu to see Grid for Brand entity:

Add Brand Form fields

Add the following code to addFormFields() function in Brand.php (model). All following code is easy to understand.

public function addFormFields()
{
    // bootstrap row (optional)
    $this->addFormItem([
        'id' => 'main-row',
        'type' => 'div',
        'class' => 'row'
    ]);

    // bootstrap column (optional)
    // this column will be shown on left side and
    // it will show image field
    $this->addFormItem([
        'id' => 'left-col',
        'parent_id' => 'main-row',
        'type' => 'div',
        'class' => 'col-md-4'
    ]);

    // bootstrap column (optional)
    // this column will be shown on right side and
    // it will show fields other than image
    $this->addFormItem([
        'id' => 'right-col',
        'parent_id' => 'main-row',
        'type' => 'div',
        'class' => 'col-md-8'
    ]);

    // image field
    $this->addFormItem([
        'id' => 'image',
        'parent_id' => 'left-col',
        'type' => 'image',
        'label' => __('Image'),
        'name' => 'image',
        'upload_path' => 'brands',
        'validation_rules' => ['image' => 'required|image|max:2048'],
    ]);

    // name field
    $this->addFormItem([
        'id' => 'name',
        'parent_id' => 'right-col',
        'type' => 'text',

        // Please note
        // for complext validation rules, you can use function which
        // returns validations rules array
        'validation_rules' => function($params) {
            if (isset($params['id']) && $params['id'] != null) {
                // ignore id when editing
                return ['name' => 'required|unique:brands,name,' . $params['id']];
            } else {
                return ['name' => 'required|unique:brands,name'];
            }
        },


        'label' => __('Name'),
        'name' => 'name'
    ]);

    // is_active field
    $this->addFormItem([
        'id' => 'is_active',
        'parent_id' => 'right-col',
        'type' => 'checkbox',
        'label' => __('Active'),
        'name' => 'is_active',
    ]);
}

Now click on "Add New" button in brands page or visit localhost:8000/admin/brands/create. You can see the following form:
