Bookmarkable for Laravel

Instagram-style saving for Eloquent: one tap saves an item to the owner's private default folder, and the owner can also file it into folders of their own. Any model can own folders, any model can be saved, and one item can sit in several folders at once.

Requirements

Installation

composer require x-laravel/bookmarkable
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=bookmarkable-migrations
php artisan migrate

Publish the config to change the defaults:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=bookmarkable-config

Preparing the Models

Implement CanBookmark and use Bookmarker on the model that saves. Implement HasBookmarks and use Bookmarkable on every model that can be saved; only those models are accepted:

use XLaravel\Bookmarkable\Concerns\Bookmarkable;
use XLaravel\Bookmarkable\Concerns\Bookmarker;
use XLaravel\Bookmarkable\Contracts\CanBookmark;
use XLaravel\Bookmarkable\Contracts\HasBookmarks;

class User extends Authenticatable implements CanBookmark
{
    use Bookmarker;
}

class Event extends Model implements HasBookmarks
{
    use Bookmarkable;
}

The owner_id and bookmarkable_id columns follow Laravel's morph key type, so set Schema::defaultMorphKeyType('uuid') or 'ulid' before migrating if your models use them.

Configuration

Saving

$user->bookmark($event);                  // into the default folder
$user->bookmark($event, $folder);         // into one of the owner's folders
$user->unbookmark($event);                // out of every folder
$user->unbookmark($event, $folder);       // out of one folder
$user->hasBookmarked($event);             // in any folder
$user->hasBookmarked($event, $folder);    // in that folder

Saving an item twice into the same folder keeps a single bookmark; the returned bookmark's wasRecentlyCreated tells which call created it. A folder of another owner is refused with InvalidArgumentException.

Folders

$user->defaultBookmarkFolder();
$folder = $user->createBookmarkFolder('Concerts');
$shared = $user->createBookmarkFolder('Weekend', private: false);

$user->bookmarkFolders()->ordered()->withCount('bookmarks')->get();
$user->reorderBookmarkFolders([$shared->id, $folder->id]);

$folder->add($event);
$folder->remove($event);
$folder->contains($event);
$folder->bookmarks()->with('bookmarkable')->latest()->paginate();

Folder keys are ULIDs, so they can appear in URLs without revealing how many folders exist. Folders are private unless created otherwise; the package only stores the flag, and who may see a shared folder is up to your application.

The default folder is created on the owner's first bookmark, or by defaultBookmarkFolder(). Each owner has exactly one, enforced by a unique index. It is always private, and renaming, sharing or deleting it throws DefaultFolderException.

ordered() lists the default folder first, then folders that were never given a position by their last activity, then the rest by the position reorderBookmarkFolders() gave them. Adding an item counts as activity.

Showing the Saved State

Load whether each item of a list is saved by the current user in one query:

$events = Event::query()->withBookmarkedBy($request->user())->paginate();

$events->first()->is_bookmarked;

A null owner, such as a guest, gets false for every item. For a single model, use $event->isBookmarkedBy($user).

Deleting and Pruning

When an owner is deleted, its folders and bookmarks are deleted with it; when a saved item is deleted, it is removed from every folder. Soft-deleted models keep their bookmarks until they are force deleted.

Deletes that skip model events, such as bulk queries, database cascades or raw SQL, leave folders and bookmarks behind. The package schedules model:prune for its two models, daily by default, to remove folders whose owner and bookmarks whose item or folder no longer exist. Run it by hand with:

php artisan model:prune --model="XLaravel\Bookmarkable\Models\BookmarkFolder" --model="XLaravel\Bookmarkable\Models\Bookmark"

Pruning skips types that no longer resolve to a model and models on another connection, and dispatches no Unbookmarked events.

Reacting to Bookmarks

XLaravel\Bookmarkable\Events\Bookmarked and Unbookmarked carry the Bookmark and are dispatched after the surrounding transaction commits. Saving an item that is already in the folder dispatches nothing.

Customising the Messages

The exceptions and the default folder name come with Turkish and English messages:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=bookmarkable-translations
