Laravel JS Store

Latest Version on Packagist Build Status Quality Score Total Downloads

Easily pass data to your view to create an initial state for your frontend. This package lets you easily create and register global data providers (for each page), which for example is useful for user data. You can also manually push data on the fly, for example in a controller.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require hihaho/laravel-js-store:^5.0

Next you should render the js data on your page, there are a few different ways to do this:

Blade directive

Add the @frontend_store directive to your view:

<html>
    <head>
        
    </head>
    <body>
        @frontend_store
    </body>
</html>

Overwrite the default view

Publish the current one using php artisan vendor:publish --tag=laravel-js-store-views or create a new view: resources/views/vendor/js-store/script.blade.php

Output the data the way you want and then include it using the blade directive (@frontend_store).

Usage

There are two methods of pushing data to the store, through data-providers or pushing manually.

Pushing manually

At any point in your application you can push data to the store using the helper, facade or through the laravel container.

You can push pretty much any type of data, as long as it can be cast to a string.

// Using the helper
frontend_store()->put('user', Auth::user());

// Using the facade
\HiHaHo\LaravelJsStore\StoreFacade::put('user', Auth::user());

// Using the laravel container
app()->make(\HiHaHo\LaravelJsStore\Store::class)->put('user', Auth::user());
app()->make('js-store')->put('user', Auth::user());

// Using the view or response macro
class Controller
{
    public function index()
    {
        return view('index')
            ->js('foo', 'bar');
    }

    public function create()
    {
        return response()
            ->view('create')
            ->js([
                'foo' => 'Fred',
                'bar' => 'Waldo',
            ]);
    }
}

Data-providers

Data-providers are classes that can be used to globally define data that should be send to your frontend. It's also a convenient way to store more logic related to the data, or define a rule if the data needs to be rendered.

The data-providers are defined in your config, so first you'll have to publish the config file.

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=laravel-js-store-config

This should create config/js-store.php.

Create a data provider using the artisan make command:

php artisan make:frontend-data-provider SomeName

This creates a data-provider which extends HiHaHo\LaravelJsStore\AbstractFrontendDataProvider.

An example of a data-provider might look like this:

<?php

namespace App\Http\FrontendDataProviders;

use HiHaHo\LaravelJsStore\AbstractFrontendDataProvider;

class User extends AbstractFrontendDataProvider
{
    /**
     * The data that will be JSON encoded
     *
     * @return mixed
     */
    public function data()
    {
        return Auth::user();
    }
    
    public function hasData(): bool
    {
        // Only push the data when the user is signed in
        return Auth::check();
    }
}

Next, register you data-provider in config/js-store.php:

'data-providers' => [
    \App\Http\FrontendDataProviders\User::class,
],

Your data will now automatically be rendered in blade views (in this case only when the user is signed in).

Usage with Laravel Octane

This package registers a singleton to manage all data that's sent to the JS Store. Laravel Octane will register one instance per request, but only when the singleton is not accessed inside a service provider. For this reason it's not possible to push data to the store within a service provider.

Generally it won't be necessary to flush all data between requests, but if you need this behaviour you can flush the data between requests. Any data that is pushed within a service provider won't be available in requests. To flush the data between requests you should add the PrepareStoreForNextOperation::class listener to the following Octane events in config/octane.php:

  • RequestReceived::class
  • TaskReceived::clas
  • TickReceived::class
use HiHaHo\LaravelJsStore\Octane\PrepareStoreForNextOperation;

return [
    // ...

    'listeners' => [
        RequestReceived::class => [
            // ...
            PrepareStoreForNextOperation::class,
        ],
        TaskReceived::class => [
            // ...
            PrepareStoreForNextOperation::class,
        ],
        TickReceived::class => [
            // ...
            PrepareStoreForNextOperation::class,
        ],
    ]
];
