Laravel TodoBar

TodoBar creates an overlay right sidebar to ease your Laravel projects task management.

• It stores the tasks in a JSON file which is located in /resources/todobar folder, which is shared among your code in your repository, so you can get the tasks on every platform that you are developing your project.

• It supports multiple groups, which you can use to track different aspects of your project in a single file, and you can easily switch between groups with a single dropdown.

• It uses Bootstrap components as the frontend library, and for the "Edit Task" modal.
  
  

Preview

Classic Mode

Dark Mode (Will be available in next versions)

Installation

You can install the package via composer with:

composer require tpaksu/laravel-todobar --dev

The sidebar will be enabled by default, but you can disable it by adding

TODOBAR_ENABLED=false

to your environment variables and run php artisan config:cache to update the configuration cache.

Package Contents

This package publishes the views used in the package and a configuration file which consists of three settings:

• enabled: Enables the sidebar by setting the environment variable (TODOBAR_ENABLED) in your .env file, or by changing the default value when the environment value is missing.

• start_visible: Defines the visibility on page load, if you set it to true, the sidebar will be shown on page load.

• overlay: Defines if the sidebar will cover some part of the web page (overlay), or shrink the page and display the whole page besides itself.

• dark_mode: Defines if the interface will use the dark theme. (Not yet implemented)

• storage: Defines the used storage class to store the tasks. Currently supports one JSONStorage driver. Can be extended. See Extending below.

Extending

The package contains a Storage folder which contains an interface DataStorageInterface defining the data storage provider repository, and an example JSONStorage class which handles the data persisting in JSON file. If you want to use something different than a JSON file to store your tasks, you can create a class implementing DataStorageInterface and make the package use that instead by changing the configuration like this:

    "storage" => [
        "engine" => \App\TodoBar\CustomStorage::class,
        "params" => [
            "param" => "[ Passed to your class ]",
        ],
    ],
