Easy AdminLTE integration with Laravel

This package provides an easy way to quickly set up AdminLTE v3 with Laravel 6 or higher. It has no requirements and dependencies besides Laravel, so you can start building your admin panel immediately. The package just provides a Blade template that you can extend and advanced menu configuration possibilities. A replacement for the make:auth Artisan command that uses AdminLTE styled views instead of the default Laravel ones is also included.

If you want use the older versions, please use the following versions:

Version 1.x or branch laravel5-adminlte2: This version supports Laravel 5 and included AdminLTE v2
Version 2.x or branch laravel6-adminlte2: This version supports Laravel 6 and higher and included AdminLTE v2

1. Requirements

Laravel >= 6.x
PHP >= 7.2

2. Installation

Require the package using composer:

composer require jeroennoten/laravel-adminlte

(Laravel 7+ only) Require the laravel/ui package using composer:
```
composer require laravel/ui
php artisan ui:controllers
```
Install the package using the next command (for fresh laravel installations):
```
php artisan adminlte:install
```
You can use --force option to overwrite any existing file

You can use --interactive option to be guided through the process and choose what you want to install

3. Updating

To update this package, first update the composer package:
```
composer update jeroennoten/laravel-adminlte
```
Then, update the AdminLTE assets

Note: If you using AdminLTE for Laravel 5.x and are upgrading to Laravel 6 version, delete the folder adminlte inside your public/vendor folder.

Use next command to publish the new assets:
```
php artisan adminlte:update
```
If you have published and modified the default master, page or other view, you will need to update them too. Please, note there could be huge updates on these views, so it is highly recommended to backup your changes.
- Make a copy (or backup) of the views you have modified, those inside the folder resources/views/vendor/adminlte.
- Publish the views again, using --force to overwrite any existing files.
```
php artisan adminlte:install --only=main_views --force
```
- Compare with your backup files and redo the modifications you previously did to those views.
From time to time, new configuration options are added or default values are changed, so it is a recommendation to also update the package config file.
- Make a copy (or backup) of your current package configuration, the config/adminlte.php file.
- Now, publish the new package configuration and accept the overwrite warning (or use --force option).
```
php artisan adminlte:install --only=config
```
- Compare with your backup config file and redo the modifications you previously made.

4. Usage

To use the template, create a new blade file and extend the layout with @extends('adminlte::page'). This template yields the following main sections:

title: for the <title> tag.
content_header: title of the page, above the content.
content: all of the page's content.
footer: content of the page footer.
right-sidebar: content of the right sidebar.
css: extra stylesheets (located in <head>).
js: extra javascript (just before </body>).

All sections are in fact optional. As an example, your most common blade template could look like the following:

@extends('adminlte::page')

@section('title', 'Dashboard')

@section('content_header')
    <h1>Dashboard</h1>
@stop

@section('content')
    <p>Welcome to this beautiful admin panel.</p>
@stop

@section('css')
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/admin_custom.css">
@stop

@section('js')
    <script> console.log('Hi!'); </script>
@stop

You now just return this view from your controller, as usual. Check out AdminLTE to find out how to build beautiful content for your admin panel.

5. Artisan Console Commands

5.1 The `adminlte:install` Command

You can install all the required and some additional resources using the adminlte:install command.

Without any option it will install the AdminLTE package assets, the configuration file and translations. You can also install the package Authentication Views adding --type=enhanced option, or additional to the Authentication Views also the package Basic Views and Routes adding the --type=full option to the adminlte:install command.

5.1.1 Options

--force: To force the overwrite of any existing files by default.
--type=: The installation type, the available types are: basic (default value), enhanced or full.
--only=*: To install only specific resources, the available resources are: assets, config, translations, auth_views, basic_views, basic_routes or main_views. This option can not be used with the --with option. Also you can use this option multiple times, for example:
```
php artisan adminlte:install --only=config --only=main_views
```
--with=*: To install with additional resources, the available resources are: main_views, auth_views, basic_views or basic_routes. This option can be used multiple times, examples:
```

php artisan adminlte:install --type=full --with=main_views
```
--interactive : To enable the installation guide you through the process.

5.2 The `adminlte:plugins` Command

If you won't use cdn for the plugins, you can manage the optional plugins with the adminlte:plugins command. You can list, install or remove all available plugins or specific plugins. Here are some examples for the command:

List the status of all available plugins:
```
php artisan adminlte:plugins
```

List the status of the specified plugins:

php artisan adminlte:plugins --plugin=datatables --plugin=select2

Install all the available plugins:
```
php artisan adminlte:plugins install
```

Install only Pace Progress & Select2 plugins:

php artisan adminlte:plugins install --plugin=paceProgress --plugin=select2

Remove all the available plugins:
```
php artisan adminlte:plugins remove
```

Remove only Select2 plugin:

php artisan adminlte:plugins remove --plugin=select2

5.2.1 Options

operation: The type of operation: list (default), install or remove.
--plugin=: To apply the operation only over the specified plugins, the value should be a plugin key.
--force: To force the overwrite of existing files.
--interactive: The installation will guide you through the process.

5.3 The `adminlte:update` Command

This command is only a shortcut for php artisan adminlte:install --force --only=assets.

Note this command will only update the AdminLTE assets located on the public/vendor folder. It will not update any other package resources, refers to section Updating to check how to make a complete update.

5.4 The `adminlte:status` Command

This command is very useful to check the package resources installation status, to run it execute the command:

php artisan adminlte:status

Once complete, it will display a table with all the available package resources and they installation status. The status can be one of the nexts:

Installed: This means that the resource is installed and matches with the package resource.
Mismatch: This means that the installed resource mismatch the package resource. This can happen due to an update available or when you have made some modifications on the installed resource.
Not Installed: This means that package resource is not installed.

The table also shows a column which tells what resources are required for the package to work correctly. So, for these packages you should read Installed or Mismatch on the status column, otherwise the package won't work.

5.5 Authentication Views

Note: this is only available for Laravel 5.2 or higher versions.

This package ships the following command to replace the authentication views with AdminLTE style views.

php artisan adminlte:install --only=auth_views

By default, the login form contains a link to the registration and password reset forms. If you don't want a registration or password reset form, set the register_url or password_reset_url setting to null and the respective link will not be displayed.

5.5.1 Using the Authentication Views Manually

If you want to use the included authentication views manually, you can create the following files and only add one line to each one of these files:

resources/views/auth/login.blade.php:
```
@extends('adminlte::auth.login')
```
resources/views/auth/register.blade.php
```
@extends('adminlte::auth.register')
```
resources/views/auth/verify.blade.php
```
@extends('adminlte::auth.verify')
```
resources/views/auth/passwords/confirm.blade.php
```
@extends('adminlte::auth.passwords.confirm')
```
resources/views/auth/passwords/email.blade.php
```
@extends('adminlte::auth.passwords.email')
```
resources/views/auth/passwords/reset.blade.php
```
@extends('adminlte::auth.passwords.reset')
```

6. Configuration

First, publish the configuration file (if you don't see the adminlte.php file inside the config folder):

php artisan adminlte:install --only=config

Now, edit config/adminlte.php to configure the title, layout, menu, URLs etc. All configuration options are explained in the comments. However, we going to give a fast review here.

6.10 Laravel Mix

If you want to use Laravel Mix instead of publishing the assets in your /public/vendor folder, start by installing the following NPM packages:

npm i @fortawesome/fontawesome-free
npm i icheck-bootstrap
npm i overlayscrollbars

Now, add the following to your bootstrap.js file after window.$ = window.jQuery = require('jquery');:

require('overlayscrollbars');
require('../../vendor/almasaeed2010/adminlte/dist/js/adminlte');

Also, replace your app.scss content by the following:

// Fonts
@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Source+Sans+Pro:300,400,600,700,300italic,400italic,600italic');
@import '~@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/css/all.css';
// OverlayScrollbars
@import '~overlayscrollbars/css/OverlayScrollbars.css';
// iCheck
@import '~icheck-bootstrap/icheck-bootstrap.css';
// AdminLTE
@import '../../vendor/almasaeed2010/adminlte/dist/css/adminlte.css';
// Bootstrap
// Already imported by AdminLTE
//@import '~bootstrap/scss/bootstrap';

After preparing the Laravel Mix vendor files, set enabled_laravel_mix to true to enable the load of app.css & app.js files.

enabled_laravel_mix

Enables Laravel Mix specific css/js load in master layout.

Also, you can change the paths used to lookup for the compiled JS and CSS files using the next configuration options.

laravel_mix_css_path

Path (including file name) to the compiled CSS file. This path should be relative to the public folder. Default value is css/app.css
laravel_mix_js_path

Path (including file name) to the compiled JS file. This path should be relative to the public folder. Default value is js/app.js

6.11 Menu

You can specify the menu items to display in the left sidebar. Each menu item should have a text and an URL (or Route). You can also specify an icon from Font Awesome. A string instead of an array represents a header in the sidebar. The can option is a filter on Laravel's built in Gate functionality.

Here is a basic example of a menu configuration:

'menu' => [
    'MAIN NAVIGATION',
    [
        'text' => 'Blog',
        'url' => 'admin/blog',
    ],
    [
        'text' => 'Pages',
        'url' => 'admin/pages',
        'icon' => 'fas fa-fw fa-file',
    ],
    [
        'text' => 'Show my website',
        'url' => '/',
        'target' => '_blank',
    ],
    'ACCOUNT SETTINGS',
    [
        'text' => 'Profile',
        'route' => 'admin.profile',
        'icon' => 'fas fa-fw fa-user',
    ],
    [
        'text' => 'Change Password',
        'route' => 'admin.password',
        'icon' => 'fas fa-fw fa-lock',
    ],
],

With a single string, you specify a menu header item to separate the items. With an array, you specify a menu item, text and url or route are required attributes. The icon attribute is optional, you get an open circle if you leave it out. The available icons that you can use are those from Font Awesome. Just specify the name of the icon and it will appear in front of your menu item.

It's also possible to add menu items to the top navigation while the sidebar is enabled, you just need to set the topnav attribute to true. You can also set topnav_right for put the item on the right side of the topnav or topnav_user to place it in the user menu (above the user-body). When the top navigation layout is enabled, all menu items will appear in the top navigation.

To place an item dynamically you can use the key attribute, with this option you set an unique identifier. You can use this identifier later to add new items before or after the item represented by this key identifier.

To add data-attributes to your menu links, your can simply add an associative array called data. Here is a basic example:

[
    [
        'header' => 'BLOG',
        'url' => 'admin/blog',
        'data' => [
            'test' => 'content',
        ],
    ],
    [
        'text' => 'Add new post',
        'url' => 'admin/blog/new',
        'data' => [
            'test-one' => 'content-one',
            'test-two' => 'content-two',
        ],
    ],
]

Use the can attribute if you want to conditionally show the menu item. This integrates with the Laravel's Gate functionality. If you need to conditionally show headers as well, you need to wrap it in an array like other menu items, using the header attribute. You can also use multiples can entries with an array, see the second example:

[
    [
        'header' => 'BLOG',
        'url' => 'admin/blog',
        'can' => 'manage-blog',
    ],
    [
        'text' => 'Add new post',
        'url' => 'admin/blog/new',
        'can' => ['add-blog-post', 'other-right'],
    ],
]

6.11.1 Adding a Search Input

It's possible to add a search input in your menu, using a menu item with the following configuration:

[
    'search' => true,
    'url' => 'test',                     // the form action
    'method' => 'POST',                  // the form method
    'input_name' => 'menu-search-input', // the input name
    'text' => 'Search',                  // the input placeholder
],

6.11.2 Custom Menu Filters

If you need to use custom filters, you can easily add your own menu filters to this package. This can be useful when you are using a third-party package for authorization (instead of Laravel's Gate functionality).

For example, with Laratrust:

<?php

namespace MyApp;

use JeroenNoten\LaravelAdminLte\Menu\Filters\FilterInterface;
use Laratrust\Laratrust;

class MyMenuFilter implements FilterInterface
{
    public function transform($item)
    {
        if (isset($item['permission']) && ! Laratrust::isAbleTo($item['permission'])) {
            $item['restricted'] = true;
        }

        return $item;
    }
}

And then add configuration to the config/adminlte.php file:

'filters' => [
    JeroenNoten\LaravelAdminLte\Menu\Filters\ActiveFilter::class,
    JeroenNoten\LaravelAdminLte\Menu\Filters\HrefFilter::class,
    JeroenNoten\LaravelAdminLte\Menu\Filters\ClassesFilter::class,
    // Comment next line out.
    //JeroenNoten\LaravelAdminLte\Menu\Filters\GateFilter::class,
    MyApp\MyMenuFilter::class,
]

6.11.3 Menu Configuration at Runtime

It is also possible to configure the menu at runtime, e.g. in the boot of any service provider or from a controller. You can add new menu items at end of the menu, before or after a specific menu item and also inside a menu item as a submenu item. Use this if your menu is not static, for example when it depends on your database or the locale. It is also possible to combine both approaches. The menu will be simply concatenated and the order of the service providers will determine the order in the menu.

The available Menu Builder methods are:

add(...$newItems)

Adds one or multiple menu items to the sidebar menu or topnav menus (right, left or usermenu).
addAfter($itemKey, ...$newItems)

Adds one or multiple menu items after a specific menu item to the sidebar menu or topnav menus (right, left or usermenu).
addBefore($itemKey, ...$newItems)

Adds one or multiple menu items before a specific menu item to the sidebar menu or topnav menus (right, left or usermenu).
addIn($itemKey, ...$newItems)

Adds one or multiple menu items inside a specific menu item as sub menu item to the sidebar menu or topnav menus (right, left or usermenu).
remove($itemKey)

Removes one specific menu item.
itemKeyExists($itemKey)

Checks if a specific menu item exists, searched by the key attribute.

To configure the menu at runtime, just register a handler or callback for the MenuBuilding event, for example, in the boot() method of a service provider:

use Illuminate\Contracts\Events\Dispatcher;
use JeroenNoten\LaravelAdminLte\Events\BuildingMenu;

class AppServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    public function boot(Dispatcher $events)
    {
        $events->listen(BuildingMenu::class, function (BuildingMenu $event) {
            $event->menu->add('MAIN NAVIGATION');
            $event->menu->add([
                'text' => 'Blog',
                'url' => 'admin/blog',
            ]);
        });
    }
}

The configuration options for a menu item are the same explained previously.

Here is a more practical example that uses translations and the database:

public function boot(Dispatcher $events)
{
    $events->listen(BuildingMenu::class, function (BuildingMenu $event) {
        $event->menu->add(trans('menu.pages'));

        $items = Page::all()->map(function (Page $page) {
            return [
                'text' => $page['title'],
                'url' => route('admin.pages.edit', $page)
            ];
        });

        $event->menu->add(...$items);
    });
}

This event-based approach is used to make sure that the code that builds the menu runs only when the admin panel is actually displayed and not on every request.

Basic AddAfter, AddBefore & AddIn Examples:

In this example we add a key attribute to the pages menu item.

[
    'key'         => 'pages',
    'text'        => 'pages',
    'url'         => 'admin/pages',
    'icon'        => 'far fa-fw fa-file',
    'label'       => 4,
    'label_color' => 'success',
],

Now we going to add the next menu items.

Account Settings after Pages
Notifications inside Account Settings
Profile before Notifications

For this, we use the next code:

$events->listen(BuildingMenu::class, function (BuildingMenu $event) {

    $event->menu->addAfter('pages', [
        'key' => 'account_settings',
        'header' => 'Account Settings',
    ]);

    $event->menu->addIn('account_settings', [
        'key' => 'account_settings_notifications',
        'text' => 'Notifications',
        'url' => 'account/edit/notifications',
    ]);

    $event->menu->addBefore('account_settings_notifications', [
        'key' => 'account_settings_profile',
        'text' => 'Profile',
        'url' => 'account/edit/profile',
    ]);
});

6.11.4 Active Menu Items

By default, a menu item is considered active if any of the following conditions holds:

The current path matches the url parameter
The current path is a sub-path of the url parameter
If it has a submenu containing an active menu item

To override this behavior, you can specify an active parameter with an array of active URLs, asterisks and regular expressions are supported.

To utilize a regex, simply prefix your pattern with regex: and it will get evaluated automatically. The pattern will attempt to match the path of the URL, returned by request()->path(), which returns the current URL without the domain name. Example:

[
    'text' => 'Pages',
    'url' => 'pages',
    'active' => ['pages', 'content', 'content/*', 'regex:@^content/[0-9]+$@']
]

6.12 Menu Filters

We can set the filters you want to include for rendering the menu. You can add your own filters to this array after you've created them. You can comment out the GateFilter if you don't want to use Laravel's built in Gate functionality.

filters: An array of menu filters.

The default set of menu filters is:

'filters' => [
    JeroenNoten\LaravelAdminLte\Menu\Filters\HrefFilter::class,
    JeroenNoten\LaravelAdminLte\Menu\Filters\SearchFilter::class,
    JeroenNoten\LaravelAdminLte\Menu\Filters\ActiveFilter::class,
    JeroenNoten\LaravelAdminLte\Menu\Filters\ClassesFilter::class,
    JeroenNoten\LaravelAdminLte\Menu\Filters\GateFilter::class,
    JeroenNoten\LaravelAdminLte\Menu\Filters\LangFilter::class,
    JeroenNoten\LaravelAdminLte\Menu\Filters\DataFilter::class,
],

6.13 Plugins

Lets you configure which JavaScript plugins should be included. At this moment, DataTables, Select2, Chartjs and SweetAlert are added out-of-the-box, including the Javascript and CSS files from a CDN via <script> and <link> tags. The plugin active status and the files array (even empty) are all required attributes. The files, when added, need to have a type attribute (js or css), an asset attribute (true or false) and a location (string). When asset is set to true, the location will be output using the Laravel's asset() function.

By default the DataTables, Select2, ChartJS, Pace and SweetAlert2 plugins are supported but not active. You can activate them with changing the config file to load it on every page, or add a section in specific blade files, this will automatically inject their CDN files.

To inject a plugin using a blade section use the following code example:

@section('plugins.Datatables', true)

By default, you can use the next plugins:

Datatables
Select2
Chartjs
Sweetalert2
Pace

Also, you can add and configure new plugins modifying the plugin variable, using the example structure below:

'plugins' => [
    'Plugin Name' => [
        'active' => true,
        'files' => [
            [
                'type' => 'js',
                'asset' => false,
                'location' => '//cdn.plugin.net/plugin.min.js',
            ],
            [
                'type' => 'css',
                'asset' => true,
                'location' => 'css/plugin.min.css',
            ],
        ],
    ],
]

With the name string you specify the plugin name, and the active value will enable/disable the plugin injection. Each plugin have a files array, that contain arrays with file type (js or css), and a location. If the asset value is true, the injection will use the asset() function.

6.13.1 Pace Plugin Configuration

You can change the Pace plugin theme, modifying the css file location when using the CDN injection.

'location' => '//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/pace/1.0.2/themes/{{color}}/pace-theme-{{theme}}.min.css',

Available colors are: black, blue (default), green, orange, pink, purple, red, silver, white & yellow
Available themes are: barber-shop, big-counter, bounce, center-atom, center-circle, center-radar (default), center-simple, corner-indicator, fill-left, flash, flat-top, loading-bar, mac-osx, minimal

7. Translations

At the moment, English, German, French, Dutch, Portuguese, Spanish and Turkish translations are available out of the box. Just specify the language in config/app.php. If you need to modify the texts or add other languages, you can publish the language files:

php artisan adminlte:install --only=translations

Now, you are able to edit translations or add languages in the resources/lang/vendor/adminlte folder.

7.1 Menu Translations

The menu translations are enabled by default and allows you to use lang files for menu items translation.

Configure Menu Item for Translation:

First, we need to configure the menu. We add translation keys to the text and header attributes. These are the currently supported menu attributes for translations. This is an example of configuration:

[
    'header' => 'account_settings_trans'
],
[
    'text' => 'profile_trans',
    'url'  => 'admin/settings',
    'icon' => 'user',
],

Lang Files

All the translation strings must be added in the menu.php file of each language needed. You need to declare a key for each one of the menu items translations. The translations files are located at the resources/lang/vendor/adminlte/ folder

This is an example of the resources/lang/vendor/adminlte/en/menu.php lang file for the previous sample of configuration:

return [
    'account_settings_trans'  => 'ACCOUNT SETTINGS',
    'profile_trans'           => 'Profile',
];

8. Customize Views

If you need full control over the provided views, you can publish them:

php artisan adminlte:install --only=main_views

Now, you can edit the views in the resources/views/vendor/adminlte folder.
