How it works

Flatpack helps you to quickly create Forms and Table (Lists) components that are mapped to an Eloquent model instance. It identifies the current model based on the {entity} route parameter.

Example

The route /backend/posts/ (parametrized as /backend/{entity}/) will show a Table component that automatically generates queries using the App\Models\Post model query builder (using rappasoft's Livewire Tables under the hood).

The route /backend/posts/42 (parametrized as /backend/{entity}/{id}) will automatically map the current entity to an instance of App\Models\Post with the id 42.

YAML files define how a Form (or Table) component should look like, by mapping each form field (or table column) to a model's attribute.

# /flatpack/posts/form.yaml

fields:
  title:
    type: text
    label: Title
    placeholder: Enter a title

The field title above is rendered as a text input, which is binded to the title attribute of the current instance of Post (e.g. $post->title).
