Global Components

In the plugins/<VendorName\>/<PluginName>/resources/js/GlobalComponents add your vue component file with ext of lowercase .vue

e.g NewComponent.vue then you can call it on your vue template as <VendorNamePluginNameGlobalComponentsNewComponent />

If you add a vue file into sub-directories e.g plugins/<VendorName>/<PluginName>/resources/js/GlobalComponents/Blog/Post/Comments.vue then you can call it in your template as <VendorNamePluginNameGlobalComponentsBlogPostComments />

All global components are ready and available in all Vue templates.

Note: run php artisan oliv:plugins-update every time a new Global Component file is added or removed

Event/Listeners

• On your plugin create a directory EventListeners e.g. plugins/<VendorName>/<PluginName>/EventListeners

• Inside EventListeners create a file EventList.php

• Create event listener class in plugins/<VendorName>/<PluginName>/EventListeners/<MyEventListener.php>

  • Common event names
  • db_<TableName>_save_before This event is triggered only for specific database tables before the save.
  • db_<TableName>_save_after This event is triggered only for specific database tables after the save but not yet committed, therefore, when an event handler throws an exception it will rollback.
  • db_<TableName>_save_commit_after This event is triggered only for specific database tables after the save, therefore, when an event handler throws an exception it will not rollback.
  • db_model_commit_after This event is triggered on model save regardless of the table name.
  • Plugins_Opoink_Liv_Lib_Facades_Event_Login_authUser This event is dispatched during the login method, allowing you to override and customize the login process according to your specific requirements..
  • Plugins_Opoink_Liv_Http_Middleware_AdminAuthenticated_handle_before This event is triggered to check whether the user is logged in. The listener can override the default authentication check, allowing for custom login validation logic.

Note: We are not using the default Laravel event listeners and dispatchers; instead, we are using custom events.

Theme

All VueJS components, SCSS styles, and images can be customized by creating a theme. To create a theme, simply create a new directory at theme/theme_name from the root of your Laravel installation.

The theme_name can be configured via your .env file at VITE_OLIV_THEME the default theme name is default

To override a specific file, follow the same file path structure as the original plugin. For example, if you want to change the content of the login page, copy the file from root_rirectory/plugins/Opoink/Liv/resources/js/Pages/Admin/Users/Login.vue to root_rirectory/theme/default/Opoink/Liv/resources/js/Pages/Admin/Users/Login.vue

Admin auth

By default, OLIV comes with built-in admin authentication using Laravel's admin guard. However, if your application requires a different authentication method, you can override the default behavior.

To override the default authentication:

1. Create an event listener to intercept the login authentication process.

2. In your event listener, implement your custom logic for validating the user.

   3. If the primary key of your model is not id, you will need to update the VueJS components that reference id to use your model’s actual primary key.
   4. In your .env file, set the OLIV_AUTH_ADMIN_USER_MODEL variable: OLIV_AUTH_ADMIN_USER_MODEL="Plugins_<VendorName>_<PluginName>_Models_MyModelAuthenticatable" Note: the backslashes in the model class path should be replaced with underscores. For example: Plugins\<VendorName>\<PluginName>\Models\MyModelAuthenticatable should be written as Plugins_<VendorName>_<PluginName>_Models_MyModelAuthenticatable
   5. Add the following entry to your database admin table if it does not already exist.
      • admin_type
      • admin_user_role_id
      • forgot_password_code
      • forgot_password_code_expire
      • firstname
      • lastname
      • email
3. Finally, if your table already contains admin users, choose one and set its admin_type value to super_admin.
