Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require tapp/filament-library

Database Setup

The package will automatically publish and run migrations. You'll need to add the LibraryUser trait to your User model:

// app/Models/User.php
use Tapp\FilamentLibrary\Traits\LibraryUser;

class User extends Authenticatable
{
    use LibraryUser;
    // ... other traits and methods
}

You can publish and run the migrations with:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="filament-library-migrations"
php artisan migrate

You can publish the config file with:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="filament-library-config"

Basic Usage

1. Add to Filament Panel

use Tapp\FilamentLibrary\FilamentLibraryPlugin;

public function panel(Panel $panel): Panel
{
    return $panel
        ->plugins([
            FilamentLibraryPlugin::make(),
        ]);
}

2. Configure Admin Access

// In your AppServiceProvider
use Tapp\FilamentLibrary\FilamentLibraryPlugin;

public function boot()
{
    // Option 1: Use different role name
    FilamentLibraryPlugin::setLibraryAdminCallback(function ($user) {
        return $user->hasRole('super-admin');
    });
    
    // Option 2: Custom logic
    FilamentLibraryPlugin::setLibraryAdminCallback(function ($user) {
        return $user->is_superuser || $user->hasRole('library-manager');
    });
}

3. Navigation

The plugin automatically adds navigation items:

• Library - Main library view
• Search All - Search across all accessible content
• My Documents - Personal documents and folders
• Shared with Me - Items shared by other users
• Created by Me - Items you created

The plugin features a sophisticated permissions system inspired by Google Drive. See Permissions Documentation for complete details.
