Methods

You can generate Promotional codes using generate method.

The only parameter is amount of codes to generate.

Promocodes::generate(5); // $amount = 1

• $amount int - number of promotional codes to be generated

This method will return array of codes with 5 element

You can generate and save codes instantly in your database using:

Promocodes::generateAndSave(5, 10.50); // $amount = 1, $reward = null

• $amount int - number of promotional codes to be generated
• $reward double - amount of reward of each promocodes

This will generate 5 codes and insert in your DB.

You can generate and save codes with the exact name in your database using:

Example:

Promocodes::generateCodeName("OFF20%", 0.2); // $reward = null (percentage discount)
Promocodes::generateCodeName("5SGDOFF", 5); // $reward = null (dollar discount)

• $code string - exact promotional code name to be generated
• $reward double - amount of reward of each promocodes

This will return false if code name already existed

Check code using method check.

Method returns boolean.

$valid = Promocodes::check('TEST-CODE'); // $promocode

• $promocode string - promotional code wich will be checked if issets

Laslty use code using method apply.

Method returns boolean.

$applied = Promocodes::apply('TEST-CODE', true); // $promocode, $hard_check = false

• $promocode string - promotional code wich will be checked if issets, and applied to current user
• $hard_check boolean - if false or null, you will get only boolean value of checked promocode. If true you will get amount of reward as double or false.

If method returns false, code was already used or it wasn't valid

php artisan vendor:publish
