Installation

Laravel 5.6 with standard Authentication

composer require jozwikp/flexcms

Add basic authentication

php artisan make:auth

Add the ServiceProvider to the providers array in config/app.php

Jozwikp\Flexcms\FlexcmsServiceProvider::class,

Add this line to the end of your routes/web.php

Route::any('{path}', '\Jozwikp\Flexcms\controllers\PathController@resolve')->where('path', '(.*)');

Run migrations

php artisan migrate

Add admin user with:

$ php artisan flexcms:makeadmin

Flexcms use images to lists and pages so you should create a symbolic link from "public/storage" to "storage/app/public" with:

$ php artisan storage:link

Login to your app and go to /flexcms

Next steps

Share the lists with the views in your AppServiceProvider.php boot() method

$lists = Cache::rememberForever('lists', function() {
          return Liist::with('siblings')->whereNull('parent_id')->get();
        });
view()->share('lists', $lists);

Include partials in your template (parent lists)

@include('flexcms::_lists')

or (parents with siblings)

@include('flexcms::_lists-siblings')

Customize the default views

Publish the views

php artisan vendor:publish

list-default.blade.php page-default.blade.php

If you need other type of views you can copy default views and change default into other name. Use your new name while editing lists or pages.
