After creating your new Laravel application you can include the marketplace package with the following command:
composer require sectheater/marketplace:dev-master
2. Add the DB Credentials & APP_URL
Next make sure to create a new database and add your database credentials to your .env file:
DB_HOST=localhost
DB_DATABASE=homestead
DB_USERNAME=homestead
DB_PASSWORD=secret
You will also want to update your website URL inside of the APP_URL
variable inside the .env file:
APP_URL=http://localhost:8000
3. Getting Your Environment Ready.
Just Run The following command.
php artisan sectheater-market:install
Command Interpretation
- The command just publishes the marketplace's config, migrations,helpers and seeder.
Notice : You may need to run the autoload composer command to reload the changes.
composer dump-autoload -o
Another Notice : Don't forget to delete the default users table migration, as marketplace ships with a default one as well.
4. Sample Usage
4.1 Creating a Product with Variation.
Product::generate([
'user_id' => auth()->id(),
'name' => 'laptop',
'description' => 'Fancy laptop',
'price' => 15000,
'category' => 'electronics',
'type' => ['name' => 'MacBook Pro', 'stock' => 20],
'details' => ['color' => 'Silver', 'dummy-feature' => 'dummy-text']
);
4.2 Filter products by criteria.
Product::fetchByVariations(['locations' => 'U.K', 'variations' => ['size' => 'XL', 'color' => 'red'], 'categories' => 'clothes']);
- Add custom Criterion and use it while searching.
4.3 get Cart total/subtotal.
Out of the blue, you may use a couple of methods to retrieve the total/subtotal
Cart::subtotal();
Cart::total(); // returns total after applying tax.
Cart::total($coupons); // Collection of coupons passed, returns total after applying tax and coupons.
Cart::subtotalAfterCoupon($coupons);
Suprisingly every single method you can use for a cart, you can use for a wishlist ( since we can consider it as a virtual cart )
4.4 get Cart item .
Cart::item(1); // get the item with id of 1
Cart::item(1, ['color' => 'blue', 'size' => 'L']); // get the item with the id of 1 and should have these attributes.
Cart::item(null, ['color' => 'blue','size' => 'L']); // get the current authenticated user's cart which has these attributes assuming that these attributes identical to the database record.
Cart::item(null, ['color' => 'blue','size' => 'L'] , 'or'); // get the current authenticated user's cart which has any of these attributes.
4.4 Generate Coupons.
Coupon::generate([
'user_id' => auth()->id(),
'active' => true,
'percentage' => 10.5,
'expires_at' => Carbon::now()->addWeeks(3)->format('Y-m-d H:i:s')
]);
4.5 Validate Coupons.
$coupon = Coupon::first(); // valid one
Coupon::validate($coupon); // returns true
4.6 Deactivate Coupons.
$coupon = Coupon::first();
Coupon::deactivate($coupon->id);
4.7 Purchas Coupons.
$coupon = Coupon::first();
Coupon::purchase($coupon); // Purchase the coupon for the current authenticated user.
Coupon::purchase($coupon, $anotherUser); // Purchase the coupon for the passed user.
4.7 Purchased Coupons.
- It releases the invalid purchased coupons automatically.
Coupon::purchased(); // returns the only valid purchased coupons.
4.8 Apply Specific Coupons.
- Assuming the user has a couple of coupons, he can designate which of them that can be applied on a specific product.
Coupon::appliedCoupons($coupons); // returns a query builder.
