Laravel Publisher

Publisher is a Laravel package that provides a complete content publishing workflow, allowing you to maintain both published and draft versions of your content simultaneously. Editors can work on changes without affecting the live published version until changes are explicitly published.

Installation

1. Install the package via composer:

   composer require plank/publisher
   

2. Add the Publishable interface and IsPublishable trait to your models:

   <?php
   
   namespace App\Models;
   
   use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
   use Plank\Publisher\Concerns\IsPublishable;
   use Plank\Publisher\Contracts\Publishable;
   
   class Post extends Model implements Publishable
   {
       use IsPublishable;
   }
   

3. Run the install command:

   php artisan publisher:install
   

4. Add the publisher columns to your model if you did not generate them automatically:

   <?php
   
   use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
   use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
   use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
   
   return new class extends SnapshotMigration
   {
       public function up()
       {
           Schema::table('posts', function (Blueprint $table) {
               $table->string('status');
               $table->boolean('has_been_published');
               $table->boolean('should_delete');
               $table->json('draft')->nullable();
           });
       }
   }
   

5. Run migrations:

   php artisan migrate
