# Addresses

Free-form addresses manager for Laravel Enso

This package works exclusively within the Enso ecosystem.

There is a front end implementation for this this api in the accessories package.

For live examples and demos, you may visit laravel-enso.com

# Installation

Comes pre-installed in Enso.

# Features

• can be used to attach addresses to any entity, via a polymorphic relationship
• allows saving of multiple addresses for an addresable entity
• features an easy flow for setting the default address
• comes with an additional table for Countries, with all the countries pre-populated
• brings its own free-form form for the edit and creation of addresses
• has a publishable configuration file where you can customize the module to your liking
• includes an Addressable trait, for defining relationships and attributes
• the package as whole is designed to be extendable, so you could create custom versions for specific countries

# Usage

1. you may publish the configuration and customize the options as needed
2. use the package's Addresable trait for the models you want to make addressable
3. insert the Addreses vue component where required in your pages/components, see the front end implementation docs for the available options

# Configuration

Inside the config/enso/addresses.php file, you'll find several customization options:

• onDelete, string, option that manages the case when the commentable entity is deleted and it has attached discussions. Valid options are cascade, restrict | default is cascade

  With the cascade option, when a discussable model is deleted, the discussions attached to it are also deleted. With the restrict option, when attempting to delete a discussable model with attached discussions, an exception is thrown.

• loggableMorph, the list of entities using the addressable functionality, each mapped to its respective loggable attribute. For example:

  'addressable' => [
      Company::class => 'name',
  ],
  

• streetTypes, the list of street types shown in the form's street type select

• buildingTypes, same as above, for buildings

• label, label configuration options:

  • separator, the separator used when composing labels, default -
  • attributes, the list of attributes used for the label, default: 'localityName', 'street', 'number'

# Extending the addresses

In your project you may have the need to alter and or extend the addresses structure by adding/removing table columns. To achieve this, you'd need to:

• add migration(s) to your local project, making the necessary changes. Note that if using sqlite for testing, some of the migration commands may not be available
• create a local model which extends the package model and set the proper $fillable attribute, define relations, etc.
• create a local template and set the path in addresses configuration, under the enso.addresses.formTemplate key. Also, you may mark any form fields as custom and then customize them in your page, using slots (like for the VueForm).
• create a new form builder, extend the one in the package (AddressForm), and specify the TemplatePath to your previously created template.
• create a new request validation and extend the one in the package (ValidateAddressRequest)
• bind your local implementations of the model, request and the form builder to their package counterparts in your local AppServiceProvider

class AppServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    public $bindings = [
        ValidateAddressRequest::class => MyValidateddressRequest::class,
        AddressForm::class => MyForm::class,
        Address::class => MyAddress::class,
    ]; 

    ...
}
