Version Compatibility

Installation

To install through composer, simply put the following in your composer.json file:, _(*4)

{
    "require": {
        "orchestra/resources": "~3.0"
    }
}

And then run composer install from the terminal., _(*5)

Quick Installation

Above installation can also be simplify by using the following command:, _(*6)

composer require "orchestra/resources=~3.0"

Configuration

Add Orchestra\Resources\ResourcesServiceProvider service provider in config/app.php., _(*7)

'providers' => [

    // ...

    Orchestra\Resources\ResourcesServiceProvider::class,
],

Aliases

You might want to add Orchestra\Support\Facades\Resources to class aliases in config/app.php:, _(*8)

'aliases' => [

    // ...

    'Resources' => Orchestra\Resources\Facade::class,
],

Usage

Adding a Resource

Normally we would identify an extension to a resource for ease of use, however Orchestra Platform still allow a single extension to register multiple resources if such requirement is needed., _(*9)

use Orchestra\Support\Facades\Foundation;

Event::listen('orchestra.started: admin', function () {
    $robots = Resources::make('robotix', [
        'name'    => 'Robots.txt',
        'uses'    => 'Robotix\ApiController',
        'visible' => function () {
            return (Foundation::acl()->can('manage orchestra'));
        },
    ]);
});

Orchestra Platform Administrator Interface now would display a new tab next to Extension, and you can now navigate to available resources., _(*10)

Adding a Child Resource

A single resource might require multiple actions (or controllers), we allow such feature to be used by assigning child resources., _(*11)

$robots->route('pages', 'resource:Robotix\PagesController');

Nested resource controller is also supported:, _(*12)

$robots['pages.comments'] = 'resource:Robotix\Pages\CommentController';

Returning Response from a Resource

Controllers mapped as Orchestra Platform Resources is no different from any other controller except the layout is using Orchestra Platform Administrator Interface. You can use View, Response and Redirect normally as you would without Orchestra Platform integration., _(*13)
