Laravel specific settings
If you would like to publish the configuration of the package, you can run the following command:
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="ForestAdmin\LaravelForestAdmin\ForestServiceProvider" --tag=config
When you want to deploy your forest admin to production (or other branch different of your local environment), you must run the following command:
php artisan forest:send-apimap
This command must be run each time you deploy your application on production.
But you can avoid it and activate the mode "apimap send auto" with the environment variable
FOREST_SEND_APIMAP_AUTOMATIC
.You have 2 solutions:
- add
FOREST_SEND_APIMAP_AUTOMATIC
to your .env file and set to true - publish your configuration and set to true the
send_apimap_automatic
intoconfig/forest.php
However, beware that if you activate this configuration, you must refresh your forest dashboard after you deploy on production.
Depending on your configuration, refreshing the whole application may take a few seconds after your deployment. Using the environment variable is recommended for small projects, whereas the php artisan command is better suited when dealing with bigger projects.
When using Laravel Valet, you must configure to SSL.
valet secure YOUR_PROJECT_NAME
Then declare the corresponding url in your .env file into the APP_URL variable.
Don't forget the S of https
APP_URL=https://YOUR_PROJECT_NAME.test
With Laravel Valet the apimap is not updated automatically. We recommend that you set your environment variable FOREST_SEND_APIMAP_AUTOMATIC to true. More information in the previous chapter Send apimap on deploy
The agent fetches the models into the directory specified by the
models_directory
configuration.All class files that doesn't extends the Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model are ignored.
By default, the value is the main models directory of Laravel 'app/Models', but you can change this configuration and add one or more models directories.
Example
'models_directory' => ['app/StripeModels', 'app/CustomerModels'],
You don't have to specify all the subdirectories, the agent will retrieve them for you. For example, imagine with the directory structure :
app/StripeModels/Billing
& app/StripeModels/Orders
, you have just to specify the main directory app/StripeModels
