Laravel Voyager overwrite BREAD controller - php

Question

I've started to use Voyager and I've problems with a controller.
I've create a new table in database called Progress, voyager by default create a BREAD form to browse read delete and add items .
I like to put a default value into a field when the user go to add a new item. The default value that I like to put is authentication user_id
How can I do that?
Thanks.

Answer 1

You can do that completely outside of Voyager.
First exclude the authentication_user_id from the Add form (in Voyager's database interface). If the field doesn't take a null value you can set some temporary default, or modify your migrations - whichever is most convenient.
Next create a model observer and then utilise the created() function. For example:
<?php
namespace App\Observers;
use App\Models\Project;
class ProgressObserver
{
/**
* Listen to the Progress created event.
*
* #param Progress $progress
* #return void
*/
public function created(Progress $progress)
{
$progress->authentication_user_id = WHATEVER_YOU_DO_HERE;
$progress->save();
}
}

Answer 2

You can do that by creating a model for your bread, as shown in image
after you have done creating a model for your bread you can create a function named save
<?php
namespace App\Models;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use TCG\Voyager\Traits\Translatable;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\DB;
use Carbon\Carbon;
use Auth;
class MyViewModel extends Model
{
//
protected $table = "my_view";
public function save(array $options = [])
{
$this->user_id = \Auth::user()->id;
parent::save();
}
}
now whenever you save any record in administration of voyager, you will see current login user id is getting saved in your database table.

Answer 3

I think you can create a migration to write a default value for that field

Answer 4

You have to add following code into the model like this,
//assign created_by loggedin user
public function __construct(array $attributes = [])
{
$this->creating([$this, 'onCreating']);
parent::__construct($attributes);
}
public function onCreating($row)
{
// Placeholder for catching any exceptions
if (!\Auth::user()->id) {
return false;
}
$row->setAttribute('created_by', \Auth::user()->id);
$row->setAttribute('assign_to', \Auth::user()->id);
}
i have adding this because of my project need this. you can also add your field in onCreating() function.
