Customization

Environment Variables

To enable submission notifications and set a deadline, add the following variables to your .env file:

NOTIFICATION_EMAIL=      # Email address to receive submission notifications  
SUBMISSION_DEADLINE=     # Submission deadline in ISO 8601 format (e.g., "YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS")

Routes

The package publishes its routes to routes/submit.php. You can customize these routes to:

Change view paths.
Add middleware for additional security or access control.

Views

All customizable views are published to your project for easy modification:

Submission Page: resources/views/submissions.blade.php
Email Template: resources/views/emails/submissions_email.blade.php

CSS and JavaScript

dependency-free assets for styling and interactivity in vanilla CSS and JavaScript:

CSS File: resources/css/submit.css
JavaScript File: resources/js/submit.js

Database

The package provides database migrations and a sample seeder to kickstart your setup:

Migrations: Automatically created tables for submission data.
Seeder: database/Seeders/StudentsTableSeeder.php populates the database with example records.

Troubleshooting

Vite Configuration

The package automatically adds resources/css/submit.css and resources/js/submit.js to vite.config.js. If this step fails, manually update your vite.config.js file:

export default defineConfig({
    input: [
        'resources/css/app.css',
        'resources/js/app.js',
        'resources/css/submit.css',
        'resources/js/submit.js'
    ],
    // other Vite configuration
});

Build Issues

If you encounter build issues, ensure Node.js and npm are properly installed. Then rerun:

npm install
npm run build

Uninstallation

Step 1: Remove all traces of the Submit package:

php artisan submit:uninstall

Step 2: remove the package:

composer remove al-rimi/submit

Requirements

PHP 8.0 or higher
Laravel 10.x or 11.x
