1. Installation and Setup

Installation via Composer

Install the package using Composer:

composer require icodestuff/laravel-notes

Setup for Laravel

Note: This package will automatically register itself for Laravel >= 5.5.

For earlier versions, manually register the service provider in config/app.php:

'providers' => [
    // Other service providers...
    Icodestuff\LaravelNotes\LaravelNotesServiceProvider::class,
],

Publish the configuration file:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Icodestuff\LaravelNotes\LaravelNotesServiceProvider"

2. Configuration

Customize the package by editing config/notes.php:

return [
    'database' => [
        'connection' => env('DB_CONNECTION', 'mysql'),
        'prefix'     => null,
    ],
    'authors' => [
        'table' => 'users',
        'model' => App\User::class,
    ],
    'notes' => [
        'table' => 'notes',
        'model' => Icodestuff\LaravelNotes\Models\Note::class,
    ],
];

3. Usage

Adding Notes to Models

Use the HasManyNotes trait in your model:

use Icodestuff\LaravelNotes\Traits\HasManyNotes;

class Post extends Model {
    use HasManyNotes;
}

Add a note:

$post = App\Post::first();
$note = $post->createNote('This is a note!');

Add a note with an author:

$user = App\User::first();
$note = $post->createNote('Note with author', $user);

Retrieve notes:

$notes = $post->notes;

Using the HasOneNote Trait

For managing a single note on a model, use the HasOneNote trait:

use Icodestuff\LaravelNotes\Traits\HasOneNote;

class Post extends Model {
    use HasOneNote;
}

Access the note:

$note = $post->note;

Retrieve Author's Notes

Add the AuthoredNotes trait to your User model to retrieve all notes authored by a user:

use Icodestuff\LaravelNotes\Traits\AuthoredNotes;

class User extends Model {
    use AuthoredNotes;
}

Retrieve the author's notes:

$user = App\User::first();
$notes = $user->authoredNotes;

Find a Specific Note by ID

To find a note by its ID:

$post = App\Post::first();
$note = $post->findNote(1);

Note: The findNote method is only available in the HasManyNotes trait.
