Build Status

Install

composer require atayahmet/laravel-nestable

Then

Add to app.php the Service Provider file.

Nestable\NestableServiceProvider::class

Then add app.php Facade file again.

'Nestable' => Nestable\Facades\NestableService::class

Finally run the artisan command:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Nestable\NestableServiceProvider"

That's it!

Basic Usage with Eloquent

Suppose that the data came from a database as follows.

Category table:

id parent_id name slug
1 0 T-shirts t-shirts
2 1 Red T-shirts red-t-shirts
3 1 Black T-shirts black-t-shirts
4 0 Sweaters sweaters
5 4 Red Sweaters red-sweaters
6 4 Blue Sweaters blue-sweaters

Example 1:

<?php

use Nestable\NestableTrait;

class Category extends \Eloquent {

    use NestableTrait;

    protected $parent = 'parent_id';

}

Note: $parent variable refers to the parent category (Default parent_id)

<?php

$categories = Category::nested()->get();

Query result:

<?php

array:6 [
      0 => array:5 [
        "id" => 1
        "name" => "T-shirts"
        "slug" => "t-shirts"
        "child" => array:2 [
          0 => array:5 [
            "id" => 2
            "name" => "Red T-shirts"
            "slug" => "red-t-shirts"
            "child" => []
            "parent_id" => 1
          ]
          1 => array:5 [
            "id" => 3
            "name" => "Black T-shirts"
            "slug" => "black-t-shirts"
            "child" => []
            "parent_id" => 1
          ]
        ]
        "parent_id" => 0
      ]
      1 => array:5 [
        "id" => 4
        "name" => "Sweaters"
        "slug" => "sweaters"
        "child" => array:2 [
          0 => array:5 [
            "id" => 5
            "name" => "Red Sweaters"
            "slug" => "red-sweaters"
            "child" => []
            "parent_id" => 4
          ]
          1 => array:5 [
            "id" => 6
            "name" => "Blue Sweaters"
            "slug" => "blue-sweaters"
            "child" => []
            "parent_id" => 4
          ]
        ]
        "parent_id" => 0
    ]
]

For html tree output:

<?php

Category::renderAsHtml();

Output:

<ul>
    <li><a href="">T-shirts
        <ul>
            <li><a href="red-t-shirt">Red T-shirt</a></li>
            <li><a href="black-t-shirts">Black T-shirts</a></li>
        </ul>
    </li>

    <li><a href="">Sweaters
        <ul>
            <li><a href="red-sweaters">Red Sweaters</a></li>
            <li><a href="blue-sweaters">Blue Sweaters</a></li>
        </ul>
    </li>
</ul>

For dropdown output:

<?php

Category::attr(['name' => 'categories'])
    ->selected(2)
    ->renderAsDropdown();

Output:

<select name="categories">
    <option value="1">T-shirts</option>
    <option value="2" selected="selected">  Red T-shirts</option>
    <option value="3">  Black T-shirts</option>

    <option value="4">Sweaters</option>
    <option value="5">  Red Sweaters</option>
    <option value="6">  Blue Sweaters</option>
</select>

Selected for multiple list box:

->selected([1,2,3])

generate_url boolean Generate the url for html output
childNode string Child node name
body array Array output (default)

    'id',
    'category_name',
    'category_slug'
]

html

Using Independent Models

Include the Nestable facade.

<?php

use Nestable;

$result = Nestable::make([
    [
        'id' => 1,
        'parent_id' => 0,
        'name' => 'T-shirts',
        'slug' => 't-shirts'
    ],
    [
        'id' => 2,
        'parent_id' => 1,
        'name' => 'Red T-shirts',
        'slug' => 'red-t-shirts'
    ],
    [
        'id' => 3,
        'parent_id' => 1,
        'name' => 'Black T-shirts',
        'slug' => 'black-t-shirts'
    ]
    // and more...
]);

For array output:

$result->renderAsArray();

Validators

It controls the structure of the data. They also made the rendering process with a second parameter control after they.

name Parameters
isValidForArray boolean
isValidForJson boolean
isValidForHtml boolean
isValidForDropdown boolean
isValidForMultiple boolean

Example 1:

<?php

Menu::make($categories)->isValidForHtml();

// return true or false

Example 2:

<?php

Menu::make($categories)->isValidForHtml(true);

// return html string if data valid

Macros

<?php

Nestable::macro('helloWorld', function($nest, $categories) {

    return $nest->make($categories)->active('sweater')->route(['tests' => 'slug'])->renderAsHtml();

});

Call the above macro:

<?php

$categories = [

    [
        'id'        => 1,
        'parent_id' => 0,
        'name'      => 'T-shirt',

        'slug'      => 'sweater'
    ]

];

Nestable::helloWorld($categories);

Helper

<?php

nestable($data)->renderAsHtml();
<?php

nestable()->make($data)->renderAsHtml();
<?php

nestable()->macro('helloWorld', function() {
    return 'Hello Laravel';
});
