THanks

Widget class must extend Arrilot\Widgets\AbstractWidget class

I was having trouble getting Widgets work on Laravel 5.1. My app runs throw ErrorException, this is it:

ErrorException in AbstractWidgetFactory.php line 122:
Widget class must extend Arrilot\Widgets\AbstractWidget class (View: /home/vagrant/Code/Laravel/resources/views/welcome.blade.php)

My Widget Class was created with artisan command 'artisan make:widget Input'
and it extends AbstractWidget from Arrilot\Widgets\AbstractWidget. So here is class:

<?php namespace App\Widgets;

use Arrilot\Widgets\AbstractWidget;

class Input extends AbstractWidget {
    protected $config = [
        'type' => 'text'
    ];
    public function run()
    {
        return view("widgets.input", [
            'config' => $this->config,
        ]);
    }
}

What can it be?
Thanks!

Base Url

I have problem.
my app is installed in folder (http://site.com/folder/) and when called Asynchronous request is send to http://site.com/arrilot/load-widget
Thanks

How can I get all existing widgets list ?

I have created 3 widgets for now, and I want to know dynamically (in controller) all the names of existing widgets,so that i can display their name. What is the possibility to do so ?

Broken with latest BladeCompiler changes

With latest changes, createMatcher() is removed from Blade

FatalErrorException in ServiceProvider.php line 89:
Call to undefined method Illuminate\View\Compilers\BladeCompiler::createMatcher()

Widget group not being collected on main widget factory instance.

When creating a group widget using the main factory, the groups are not being collected because the factory is using bind which always creates a new instance when using app('arrilot.widget'). To fix this, I suggest to update the provider to use singleton.

        $this->app->singleton('arrilot.widget', function () {
            return new WidgetFactory(new LaravelApplicationWrapper());
        });

Example snippet to replicate the issue:

        Widget::all()->groupBy('position')->each(function (Collection $group) {
            $group->each(function ($widget) {
                $factory = app('arrilot.widget');
                $factory->group($widget->position)
                        ->addWidget('widgetManager', [], $widget);
            });
        });

To display:

@widgetGroup('left')
@widgetGroup('right')

How to call asyncwidget

If I add AsyncWidget::widgetexample(); it is loaded on boot.
But how can I call it again without refreshing the page?

[Enhancement] add a path for stubs

Is it possible to add stubs to config file ?

for example

<?php
return [
    //'default_namespace' => 'App\Widgets',
    'stubs' => [
         'widget' => app_path() . '/vendor/arrilot/laravel-widgets/src/Console/stubs/widget.stub',
         'widget_plain' => app_path() . '/vendor/arrilot/laravel-widgets/src/Console/stubs/widget_plain.stub',
    ],
    'use_jquery_for_ajax_calls' => false,
];

it will allow us to customize easily stubs

Send variable parameter(input)?

How could I send a variable parameter (input) for the widget , such as:
@widget('recentNews', ['count' = > 10] , 'date' , $("#InputOrder"))

It is possible?

Thank you.

Question - Push new data to widget

This is a brilliant library, I was wondering if there is anyway to make the Re-loadable widget query a data set for changes before reloading?

Publish 2 widgets

I created 2 widgets, and when I try to display them, I got only one, for example:

{{ Widget::widgetOne() }}
{{ Widget::widgetTwo() }}

It shows only widgetOne , And when I delete the widgetOne I can see widgetTwo

Why ?

Reloadable Widgets - Jquery is undefined

When the widget reloads it output an error in the console
(content in the widget is just a table so no jquery stuff is used here)

Question - Howto set reload interval from config

How can i assign a config var to reloadTimeout ?

i tried to set config('app.reload') to reloadTimeout, however this gives me the error.

FatalErrorException in RecentTasks.php line 25:
Constant expression contains invalid operations

How use it from wysiwyg editor?

I try use widget in wysiwyg, but it doesn't work. I use this code {!!Widget::Menu(['type' => 'top'])!!}
Sorry for my English )

How to parse custom data.

Hi, My english is a bit poor. I am sorry for this.
I do not have any problems viewing the parsing inside the blade file. But custom created variables not working.

MainNavigation Widget:

`<?php

namespace App\Widgets;

use Arrilot\Widgets\AbstractWidget;
use App\Module;

class MainNavigation extends AbstractWidget
{
/**
* The configuration array.
*
* @var array
*/
protected $config = [];

/**
 * Treat this method as a controller action.
 * Return view() or other content to display.
 */
public function run()
{
    $modules = Module::get();
    
    return view("widgets.main_navigation", [
        'navigation' => $modules,
    ]);
}

}`

Widget::run('mainNavigation', $navigation)

main_navigation.blade.php

dd($navigation)

result

Undefined variable: navigation.

How can I solve this problem? Where am I doing wrong?

My laravel version: 5.3

Thanks.

Determine if a widget group has anything set

Is there a way to determine if the widget group has anything set to be displayed? This is a awesome package but it would be nice if you could determine easily if anything is inside the widget group so that maybe something else could be set along with it. I wanted to setup the side bar column widths (using bootstraps col css) if something is inside of the Widget::group('sidebar'). if not than the content area width would be full width.

Call to undefined method Illuminate\Foundation\Application::config()

Hello

I have following error when running 'php artisan make:widget RecentNews' in Laravel 5.2

[Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\FatalErrorException]
Call to undefined method Illuminate\Foundation\Application::config()

How to use it in Laravel 4

How to use it in Laravel 4

I tried Docs code but it return as plain text

Widget begin & end

In addition to a Widget::run() which outputs a chunk of html to the view, a Widget::begin() & Widget::end() would be handy for encapsulating existing view logic, without the need to store that resulting logic into a variable.

For example:

{{ Widget::begin('Panel', ['title' => 'Foo', 'actions' => []]) }}
<h1>Content Title</h1>
{{ Widget::end() }}

Additionally you can wrap begin & end widgets recursively if needed.

I use this extensively in my own work and find it quite useful. Happy to submit a pull request.

PHP Fatal error: Maximum function nesting level of '256' reached, aborting!

I am getting a PHP Fatal Error exception when running php artisan make:widget RecentNews, after going through the installation steps as described here.

PHP Fatal error: Maximum function nesting level of '256' reached, aborting! in .../vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Container/Container.php on line 698
PHP Fatal error: Maximum function nesting level of '256' reached, aborting! in .../vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Foundation/Bootstrap/HandleExceptions.php on line 115
Full command output can be found as an attachment to this post.

Increase the value of xdebug.max_nesting_level in the php.ini (to 500, f.e.) did not help. It then told me it reached maximum function nesting level '500'.

php artisan make:model test runs without any issues.

I am running php 7.0.8-2+deb.sury.org~xenial+1 and using laravel 5.3.

What am I doing wrong? Or how can I solve this?

Last release matcher is broken

I was using the following widget configuration, and it has been broken on the last release:
@widget('VideosWidget', ['type' => 'important', 'user' => auth()->user(), 'title' => 'Fontos videók az elmúlt 30 napból:)', 'days' => 30])
after fixing the :)' part, everything was working fine, guess the matcher is not working so well, or I do not know. Fixed code
@widget('VideosWidget', ['type' => 'important', 'user' => auth()->user(), 'title' => 'Fontos videók az elmúlt 30 napból', 'days' => 30])

contributing?

Whats your process for contributing new features/bugfixes? I've created my own AbstractWidget to resolve a couple of niggling issues I've dealt with which may be beneficial to the base package.

Are you happy to accept issues + approve + pull requests?

[Enhancement] choose a custom path when creating a widget with make:widget command

it would be great if we could change the widgets directory, I think that right now you are using the name space to define in which directory you create a widget, but in my use case the default_namespace doesn't reflect the directory

Example :

my app is separated into two levels, the core of the application and the custom part

to simplify I have this architecture :

./core (which contain laravel project)
  ./app : namespace AppName\
  ./storage 
  ./ ...
./widgets : namespace AppName\Widgets

composer helps me to maintain all this things ok, so if I create manually a widget into ./widgets I can use it without problem, but I can't use the make:widgetcommand because it will create a ./core/app/Widgets/RecentNews.phpinstead of ./widgets/RecentNews.php

So the idea is to have the possiblity to choose the path in which we create our widgets.

<?php

return [
    'default_namespace' => 'App\Widgets',
    /* ... */
    'default_path' => custom_path('widgets'),
];

How can I call Widget from controller action ?

Calling widget from view for e.g. {!! Widget::recentNews() !!} was successful, but calling Widget::recentNews() gives an error

<<
Class 'App\Http\Controllers\Widget' not found

Please suggest.

How to work with the model?

You can demonstrate how to work with the model? To display data from a MySQL database?

Question: Is there a way to load a widget content from database?

I'm trying to make a dynamic widget were view contents would be coming from the database. Is this possible? Thanks in advance.

Laravel 5.4 support

Hello!
Are you going to release a new version which supports laravel 5.4?

CacheKey

In the docs, it mentions that there is a cache key used that is based "on a widget name and each widget parameter" and digging in the code, it is not exactly clear what it is set to by default.

Is there a way to get an example for the RecentNews widget used throughout the docs?

Like if we want to clear the cache, do we do something like Cache::forget('recentNews')? Or is there something more it is based on?

Cache::forget('arrilot.widgets.recentNews')?

** Update...so digging in further, cause this is really interesting to me. You would have to do something like this:

Cache::forget('arrilot.widgets.'serialize(['recentNews', ['count' => 5]])

That seems to work (well, not 100% that, but something similar) for me in this project I am working on. Would be nice if we could set some simpler cache things that we could easily clear out cache for a widget. But there is a consideration of multiple templates using the widget in different ways, which is why you are serializing all the params instead of just the name.

Like in one layout, you have ['count' => 5] and another one you have ['count' => 10']. These are different caches, and you wouldn't necessarily want to clear out both.

What about something like

@widget('recentNews', ['count' => 5, 'cacheKey' => 'myUniqueKey']

Then in AbstractWidget.php

public function cacheKey(array $params = [])
    {
        // untested psuedo-code
        if(array_key_exists('cacheKey', $params[1])) {
                    return 'arrilot.widgets.'$params[1]['cacheKey']';
        }
        return 'arrilot.widgets.'.serialize($params);
    }

This (should) set the Cache key to arrilot.widgets.myUniqueKey that you could access anywhere.

I'm open to some discussion on this, and would be willing to work on it, let me know your thoughts.

Inheritance config problem

I'm creating a lot of widgets that extend from abstract widgets that i've created. The problem with this is because the config of a widget is stored under a single property protected $config = [], my concrete classes don't have an easy ability to set a base line config that inherits from the parent.

As a work around, i have to do something like this (crude example):

class MyListWidget extends BaseListWidget
{
    // can't declare property $config here otherwise it completely wipes out the base config

    public function __construct(array $config = [])
    {
        $defaults = [
          'classes' => 'base-list my-base-list'
        ];
        $this->config = array_merge($this->config, $defaults);
        parent::__construct($config);
    }
}

abstract class BaseListWidget extends Arrilot\Widgets\AbstractWidget 
{
    protected $config = [
      'data' => [],
      'classes' => 'base-list', 
    ];

    public function run()
    {
    }
}

This creates a lot of bootstrap to extend from the base config, and can create more problems with bigger inheritance chains (especially if you get the order of the merge mixed up..).

It would be better if each config option was a seperate public property. During the constructor, it would be quite easy to detect public properties and make those the key for the config.

Because this would be fundamentally changing how the widgets set their config, you could prioritise public properties over the config property, thus maintaining backwards compatibility.

Additionally a convenience getter/setter makes the location of the config irrelevant.

Happy do submit a pull request if you think this is suitable.

Autoloading wot working for me

Hi,
I liked the widget you provide, and I want to use it, very simple and useful, my only problem is the autoloading, I'm working with Laravel 4.2 and laravel-widgets version ~1.0.

I created a widget using php artisan make:widget StatsDash, I added to composer.json I have

...
"app/database/
"app/tests/TestCase.php"
"app/Widgets/StatsDash.php"

I works well, but I want to add the Widgets folder to my project, so I dont need to add each time my new widget, so I used PSR-0

"psr-0":{
    "Widgets": "app/",
}

after that I used : composer dumpautoload I got : 'Class 'App\Widgets\StatsDash' not found'

Thank you for helping

JS reload widget.

Hi there. Can I reload any widget via JS or jQuery?

which version for laravel 5.0

2 or more AsyncWidget in one place.

Hi! I wonder, why it's happens. If I set in blade smth like that:
{{ AsyncWidget::News() }}
{{ AsyncWidget::trendingNow() }}

Render return me in some case only one widget, in some case return me in both widget the same content. Can you help me with it?! Thanks.

FYI: I've set this config: "use_jquery_for_ajax_calls" to true, in this file "vendor/arrilot/laravel-widgets/src/config/config.php" and all works fine now.

Can't do dependency injection

I try to do dependency injection

private $categoriesMenuRenderer;

    public function __construct(CategoriesMenuRenderer $categoriesMenuRenderer)
    {
        parent::__construct();
        $this->categoriesMenuRenderer = $categoriesMenuRenderer;
    }

but I get an error

Type error: Argument 1 passed to Modules\Articles\Http\Controllers\CategoriesMenu::__construct() must be an instance of Modules\Articles\Services\CategoriesMenuRenderer, array given

I can't realise what am I doing wrong? In PublicController dependency injection works

question about config array

the example in readme.md says

class RecentNews extends AbstractWidget {
    ...
    protected $config = [
        'count' => 5,
        'foo'   => 'bar'
    ];

    ...
}

@widget('recentNews', ['count' => 10]) // $this->config('foo') is still 'bar'

however I found some problem.

1. there is no method config in AbstractWidget. so maybe the last comment should be // $this->config['foo'] is still 'bar'
2. I found the example didn't work, so I read the code in WidgetFactory and AbstractWidget. The params pased to the construct function were set as properties instead of values of confi array. so is the doc out of date or I made some mistake?

Assync container not incrementing the id

When I set a reloadTimeout on my widget it only gets updated once and then I got this error on the js console:

Cannot set property 'innerHTML' of null

When I inspect the javascript I can see its looking for an element with an id of 'arrilot-widget-container-3' but my widget wrapper is still on 'arrilot-widget-container-2'.

Edit:
I think I was doing something I was not supposed. I had one widget rendering another, that was the source of the error.
The assync one was the 'parent'.

Problem with @section

I have widget with:
...
return view("widgets.user_list");

user_list.blade.php extends another blade file(widget.blade.php) which has @yield('content') in it.
The point is to make HTML wrapper for the widget. The HTML in widget.blade.php does not appear, I see only the actual widget file user_list.blade.php.

<span> container

Package adds wrapping span tags like <span id="arrilot-widget-container-7" class="arrilot-widget-container"> around widget content.
If inside this tags will be placed <div> tags, the page becomes invalid for w3c validator.

Maybe it's better use another tags for it?

Question - How to clear cache ?

Hi,

I want to use cache : https://github.com/arrilot/laravel-widgets#caching, and when I make some changes in DB I want to clear cache, is it possible ?

Thanks

Rework config array in 3.0

1. Current implementation:

class RecentNews extends AbstractWidget 
{
    protected $count = 5;
    protected $foo;

    public function run($sort_by, $sort_order) { return $this->count;}
}
...
@widget('recentNews', [
       'count' => 10,
       'foo'     => 'bar'
], 'date', 'asc')

2. Proposal №1: Remove config array completely because now it's possible to pass parameters directly to run function

3. Proposal №2: Store config in a single property.

class RecentNews extends AbstractWidget 
{
    protected $config = [
          'count' => 10, 
    ];

    public function run($sort_by, $sort_order) { return $this->config['count'];}
}
...
@widget('recentNews', [
       'count' => 10,
       'foo'     => 'bar'
], 'date', 'asc')

Any feedback appreciated.

Static widgets

Is it possible to add static widgets without class create?

Rendering widgets without generated container

Hello, I have a problem with the widgets while rendering. On this stage a container is placed, inside of which the view output is rendered. This container, however, sometimes breaks the layout, for example in lists used with dropdown menus.

Is it possible to control this behavior of the widget?

PS: I assume this is used with reload feature and async widgets, but could it be ignored for static widgets?

Blade stack / push

Hi,
i have a problem with stack and push directives.
I have a page with header and directive @stack('css') in it. When i put a widget with @Push('css') ... @endpush on a page nothing is reflected in @stack inside header. If @stack directive is put on a page after @widget directive, @Push is reflected as supposed to.
So, if stack is before widget, nothing happens, if stack is after widget works as expected.
What can i do to to solve the problem?

Thanks

Allow sub-namespaces

In my application, I have a clear separation of frontend and backend code. Thus, I want to separate widgets designed for frontend from those designed for backend.

For this, I've tried to move generated widget class into sub-folder called "Frontend" and changing it's namespace.

But this does not work, and I receive Widget class must extend Arrilot\Widgets\AbstractWidget class exception.

Once I move widget to root "Widgets" directory it is working again.

Real-time widgets

Is it possible to have real-time(ish) widgets that update every x ms? If not, this would be really cool to add, as it is exactly what I need.

Great package nonetheless, very clean code.

feature request calling other methods other than run of widget

Hi, right package widget is calling run method of widget class, can you improve it to call other public method of the same widget, like news widget run is main method which is getting latest news, if we want to get popular news you need to create new widget for popular news, i think no need to create a new widget when news widget is already there just add method popularNews

{{ Widget::run('recentNews:popularNews') }}
or
{{ Widget::recentNews(['method'=>'popularNews']) }}
or
@widget('recentNews:popularNews')
