mrnewport/laravel-priceable

mrnewport/laravel-priceable is a Laravel package that provides quantity-based, multi-scope pricing for any Eloquent model. It allows you to define tiered pricing, attach custom price lists to specific users, and apply additional “scopes” (like region or channel) without the need for external dependencies.

Introduction

MrNewport/LaravelPriceable offers a complete and robust solution for dynamic pricing in your Laravel application. By simply adding a trait to any Eloquent model, you can define:

• Tiered prices based on quantity ranges.
• Multiple price lists for different groups (e.g., corporate, VIP, or partner).
• Scopes for region-, channel-, or any other custom-based pricing.
• Optional fallback to a default price if no specialized pricing is found.
• Date-range validations for time-limited pricing or promotions.

Everything is self-contained, including the test suite, which uses an in-memory SQLite database and does not rely on your host application’s models or migrations.

Key Features

• Tiered / Quantity-Based Pricing: Price changes automatically when buyers hit certain quantity thresholds.
• Multi-Tenant Support: Assign price lists to specific users or entire groups.
• Scopes: Add region, channel, or any additional dimension to fine-tune pricing.
• Date-Based Validity: Start and end dates for promotional or seasonal pricing.
• Fallback & Exceptions: Gracefully handle missing specialized prices.
• Polymorphic: Attach pricing to any Eloquent model with a single trait.
• Self-Contained Tests: No external references; everything is tested from within the package.

Requirements

• PHP: ^8.0
• Laravel: ^9.0 or ^10.0
• Database: Any supported by Laravel (tested primarily on MySQL & SQLite).

Installation

1. Require via Composer:

2. Optional: Publish the package config and migrations into your Laravel app (if you want to customize them in your project):

3. Run Migrations (if you published them or are auto-loading them):

4. Configure (Optional): If you want the package to auto-load its migrations instead of publishing them, set auto_load_migrations to true in config/priceable.php.

Configuration

The package ships with a configuration file located at:

When published, it appears in your Laravel app’s config/priceable.php. Key settings include:

• auto_load_migrations: If true, migrations inside src/database/migrations will be auto-loaded by the package.
• fallback_to_default_price: When a user’s price list doesn’t match, fallback to the “default” price (where price_list_id is null).
• throw_exception_if_no_price_found: If no price is found (even after fallback), throw a PriceNotFoundException instead of returning null.
• default_currency: The default currency used in your price records.

Migrations

All migration files reside in:

If auto_load_migrations is set to false (default), you should publish and run them from your main Laravel application. Alternatively, set auto_load_migrations to true to have them loaded directly from this package.

These migrations create:

1. price_lists: Names and descriptions for your custom or default price lists (e.g., “VIP”, “Corporate”).
2. price_list_user: A pivot table linking users to price lists.
3. prices: Stores tier-based pricing, including quantity ranges, currency, and optional date ranges.
4. price_scopes: Key-value pairs (e.g., region=US, channel=B2B) for more granular pricing logic.

Usage

Attaching the Priceable Trait

Any Eloquent model you wish to have dynamic pricing must use the Priceable trait:

This adds a polymorphic relationship to the prices table, letting you define multiple tiered prices for each product (or any other model).

Defining Tiered Pricing

You can define multiple quantity ranges by creating records in the prices relationship:

If someone purchases 5 units, the price is $100; for 15 units, $80.

Price Lists & User-Specific Pricing

If you want specialized pricing for certain users:

1. Create a Price List:

2. Attach a user to that list:

3. Add special prices under that price list:

When you call $product->priceFor(5, $user), the package checks the user’s VIP price list first, and if found, uses $60.

Scopes (Region, Channel, etc.)

You can attach key-value scopes to any price. For instance, define a region=US or channel=B2B scope:

When retrieving the price, pass scopes as an associative array:

Only prices containing all matching scopes (region=US) will be considered. If none match, it falls back as configured.

Retrieving a Price

To get a final price, call priceFor($quantity, $user, $scopes = []):

Alternatively, you can use:

1. Facade:

2. Helper:

Fallback Logic & Exception Handling

If a user has no custom price (or no matching scope), the system can fallback to a default price (price_list_id = null). You can control this behavior via config:

• fallback_to_default_price: true or false.
• throw_exception_if_no_price_found: If set to true, throws a PriceNotFoundException if no price is found after fallback.

This ensures you never end up with an undefined or zero price unless you explicitly allow it.

Advanced: Date-Range Pricing

Each price record can optionally have valid_from and valid_to fields:

If the current date/time is outside that range, the system ignores this price.

Testing

The tests are completely self-contained and use in-memory SQLite. No external references to your application’s models or factories.

To run tests:

How It Works

• The package includes its own tests directory, with a TestCase that sets up a test database in memory.
• Minimal “test models” (ProductTestModel, UserTestModel) are defined, along with tables for them.
• All package migrations (src/database/migrations) are loaded to test every feature.

This ensures the package is thoroughly verified in isolation.
