Publishable

Toggle the published state of your Eloquent models easily.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require pawelmysior/laravel-publishable

Versions

For details about which version of this package to use with your Laravel version please see the table below:

Preparation

To start you need to add a published_at nullable timestamp column to your table.

Put this in your table migration:

$table->timestamp('published_at')->nullable();

Now use the trait on the model

<?php
 
namespace App;
  
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use PawelMysior\Publishable\Publishable;
 
class Post extends Model
{
    use Publishable;
}

Add Fillable Attribute

In Version 1.x, the published() function handles the update in a way where Laravel expects that the published_at field is fillable. As of Version 2.x, we not use fill functionality so the fillable attribute is no longer required.

Usage

You can now use those features:

// Get only published posts
Post::published()->get();
 
// Get only unpublished posts
Post::unpublished()->get();
 
// Check if the post is published
$post->isPublished();
 
// Check if the post is unpublished
$post->isUnpublished();
 
// Publish the post
$post->publish();
 
// Unpublish the post
$post->unpublish();

// Publish the post without firing model events
$post->publishQuietly();
 
// Unpublish the post without firing model events
$post->unpublishQuietly();

A post is considered published when the published_at is not null and in the past.

A post is considered unpublished when the published_at is null or in the future.
