Usage

The Basic Usage of this package, is to create a ticket, then associate the labels and the categories to it.

You can associate as many as categories/labels into a single ticket.

Here is an example

use Coderflex\LaravelTicket\Models\Ticket;
use Coderflex\LaravelTicket\Models\Category;
use Coderflex\LaravelTicket\Models\Label;

...
public function store(Request $request)
{
    /** @var User */
    $user = Auth::user();

    $ticket = $user->tickets()
                    ->create($request->validated());

    $categories = Category::first();
    $labels = Label::first();

    $ticket->attachCategories($categories);
    $ticket->attachLabels($labels);
    
    // or you can create the categories & the tickets directly by:
    // $ticket->categories()->create(...);
    // $ticket->labels()->create(...);

    return redirect(route('tickets.show', $ticket->uuid))
            ->with('success', __('Your Ticket Was created successfully.'));
}

public function createLabel()
{
    // If you create a label seperated from the ticket and wants to
    // associate it to a ticket, you may do the following.
    $label = Label::create(...);

    $label->tickets()->attach($ticket);

    // or maybe 
    $label->tickets()->detach($ticket);
}

public function createCategory()
{
    // If you create a category/categories seperated from the ticket and wants to
    // associate it to a ticket, you may do the following.
    $category = Category::create(...);

    $category->tickets()->attach($ticket);

    // or maybe 
    $category->tickets()->detach($ticket);
}
...

Handling File Upload

This package doesn't come with file upload feature (yet) Instead you can use laravel-medialibrary by Spatie, to handle file functionality.

The steps are pretty straight forward, all what you need to do is the following.

Extends the Ticket model, by creating a new model file in your application by

php artisan make:model Ticket

Then extend the base Ticket Model, then use InteractWithMedia trait by spatie package, and the interface HasMedia:

namespace App\Models\Ticket;
use Spatie\MediaLibrary\HasMedia;
use Spatie\MediaLibrary\InteractsWithMedia;

class Ticket extends \Coderflex\LaravelTicket\Models\Ticket implements HasMedia
{
    use InteractsWithMedia;
}

The rest of the implementation, head to the docs of spatie package to know more.
