Some additional features on top of Spatie's Eloquent Sortable

This package is an extension of Spatie's excellent Eloquent Sortable. It adds the following additional features:

• New methods
  • $model->moveBefore(int|Sortable $target): void
  • $model->moveAfter(int|Sortable $target): void
  • $model->moveBetween(int|Sortable $before = null, Sortable $after = null): void
  • $model->moveTo(int|Sortable $newPosition): void

Note: The move methods rebuild the entire sequence so this package is not recommended for very large datasets.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require oddvalue/eloquent-sortable

Usage

Implement the interface and use the trait.

class MyModel extends Model implements \Oddvalue\EloquentSortable\Sortable
{
    use \Oddvalue\EloquentSortable\SortableTrait;
}

# New model automatically sorted to the end of the list upon creation
$model = MyModel::create(['title' => 'foo']);

# Move the model before the 5th item in the list
$model->moveBefore(MyModel::where('order_column', 5)->first());
// OR
$model->moveBefore(5);

# Move the model after the 5th item in the list
$model->moveAfter(MyModel::where('order_column', 5)->first());
// OR
$model->moveAfter(5);

# Move the model between the 5th and 6th item in the list
$model->moveBetween(
    MyModel::where('order_column', 5)->first(), 
    MyModel::where('order_column', 6)->first()
);
// OR
$model->moveBetween(5, 6);
# This is useful when using a javacript library that provides the node before
# and after the location an item is dropped

# Move the model to the 5th item in the list
$model->moveTo(MyModel::where('order_column', 5)->first());
// OR
$model->moveTo(5);
