OI Laravel Publish

Recursive CMS pages with ordered blocks, code-defined templates, spatie/laravel-data typed props, and oi-lab/oi-laravel-attachments media.

The package ships the data layer only — models, data, form requests, migrations, config and a template registry. It does not ship controllers, routes or views; your application wires the UI.

Requirements

• PHP 8.2+
• Laravel 11, 12, or 13
• oi-lab/oi-laravel-attachments (media collections)
• spatie/laravel-data

Installation

composer require oi-lab/oi-laravel-publish

Publish and run the migrations:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=oi-laravel-publish-migrations
php artisan migrate

Optionally publish the configuration (to customise templates, models, renderers):

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=oi-laravel-publish-config

If your application exposes a key/value Setting model, seed the renderer settings:

php artisan publish:install-settings

Concepts

Usage

use OiLab\OiLaravelPublish\Models\PublishPage;
use OiLab\OiLaravelPublish\Models\PublishBlock;

$home = PublishPage::create([
    'template_key' => 'landing',
    'name'         => 'Home',
    'slug'         => 'home',
]);

$about = PublishPage::create([
    'parent_id'    => $home->id,
    'template_key' => 'default',
    'name'         => 'About',
    'slug'         => 'about',   // unique per parent
]);

$hero = PublishBlock::create([
    'publish_page_id' => $home->id,
    'template_key'    => 'hero',
    'name'            => 'Hero',
    'key'             => 'hero',
    'props'           => ['heading' => 'Welcome', 'alignment' => 'center'],
]);

$home->blocks;            // ordered by `sort`
$hero->props->heading;    // 'Welcome' (typed HeroData)
$hero->template();        // PublishTemplateData

Attachments

$home->attachFile($file, 'cover');
$hero->syncAttachments([$slideA, $slideB], 'slides');

Resolving collaborators

Always go through the static resolver so config overrides apply:

use OiLab\OiLaravelPublish\OiLaravelPublish;

OiLaravelPublish::pageModel();
OiLaravelPublish::template('hero');
OiLaravelPublish::blockTemplates();

Customizing models & templates

Override the models and templates config entries, or register templates at runtime from a service provider:

use OiLab\OiLaravelPublish\Data\PublishTemplateData;
use OiLab\OiLaravelPublish\Enums\PublishTemplateType;
use OiLab\OiLaravelPublish\OiLaravelPublish;

OiLaravelPublish::registry()->register(new PublishTemplateData(
    key: 'pricing',
    name: 'Pricing table',
    type: PublishTemplateType::Block,
    propsClass: \App\Publish\PricingData::class,
));
