Setup instructions

1. Add the package to yuor composer.json file

"jameron/invitations" : "*"

NOTE: Laravel 5.5 users can skip steps 2 and 3

2. Add to your providers:

        Jameron\Invitations\InvitationsServiceProvider::class,

        'Invitations' => Jameron\Invitations\Facades\InvitationsFacade::class,

4. Publish the migrations and config

   php artisan vendor:publish

5. Run migrations

6. If you want to tie related model data to your invitations you can set that in your config/invitations.php config file.

Make sure to add the Invitable Trait to the model you are relating to your invitations:

use Jameron/Invitations/Models/Traits/Invitable;

then in the class add that Trait

use Invitable;

If for example say you are inviting an user to manage a page you created for them. You have a table called pages, with foreign_key user_id currently set to null. You want the page user_id (nullable) set to the invited user once they claim their invite.

Your config would look like this:

    'related' => [
        'active' => false,
        'model' => \App\Page::class,
        'resource_route' => 'pages',
        'title' => 'Pages',
        'id_column' => 'id',
        'value_column' => 'title',
        'user_foreign_key' => 'user_id',
        'owner_foreign_key' => null
	],

When the invitation is claimed the page associated to the invitation will be updated with the users id.
