## Requirements
The installation requirements are the same as Strapi itself and can be found in the documentation on the [Quick Start](https://strapi.io/documentation/developer-docs/latest/getting-started/quick-start.html) page in the Prerequisites info card.
### Supported Strapi versions
- v4.x.x
**NOTE**: While this plugin may work with the older Strapi versions, they are not supported, it is always recommended to use the latest version of Strapi.
## Installation
```sh
npm install strapi-plugin-publisher
```
**or**
```sh
yarn add strapi-plugin-publisher
```
## Configuration
### Enable the plugin
The plugin configuration is stored in a config file located at ./config/plugins.js. If this file doesn't exists, you will need to create it.
A sample configuration
```javascript
module.exports = ({ env }) => ({
// ..
'publisher': {
enabled: true,
config: {
hooks: {
beforePublish: async ({ strapi, uid, entity }) => {
console.log('beforePublish');
},
afterPublish: async ({ strapi, uid, entity }) => {
console.log('afterPublish');
},
beforeUnpublish: async ({ strapi, uid, entity }) => {
console.log('beforeUnpublish');
},
afterUnpublish: async ({ strapi, uid, entity }) => {
console.log('afterUnpublish');
},
},
},
},
// ..
});
```
### The Complete Plugin Configuration Object
| Property | Description | Type | Default | Required |
|----------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------|----------| ------- | -------- |
| actions | Settings associated with any actions. | Object | {} | No |
| actions.syncFrequency | The frequency to check for actions to run. It is a cron expression | String | '*/1 * * * *' | No |
| components | Settings associated with any of the plugins components | Object | {} | No |
| components.dateTimePicker | Settings associated with the DateTimePicker component used to set action times | Object | {} | No |

| hooks.beforePublish | An async function that runs before a content type is published | Function | () => {} | No |
| hooks.afterPublish | An async function that runs after a content type is published | Function | () => {} | No |
| hooks.beforeUnpublish | An async function that runs before a content type is un-published | Function | () => {} | No |
| hooks.afterUnpublish | An async function that runs after a content type is un-published | Function | () => {} | No |

### Enable server cron
The `cron.enabled` configuration option needs to be set to true in [Server Configuration](https://docs.strapi.io/developer-docs/latest/setup-deployment-guides/configurations/required/server.html#server-configuration) for the plugin to work.
## Usage
Once the plugin has been installed, configured and enabled a `Publisher` section will be added to the `informations` section of the edit view for all content types (single + collection) that have `draftAndPublish` enabled. The `Publisher` section will provide the ability to schedule publishing and unpublishing of the content type. The content type publication status is checked every minute.
> If the Publisher section does not appear in the admin after the plugin is enabled then a clean rebuild of the admin is required. This can be done by deleting the generated `.cache` and `build` folders and then re-running the `develop` command.
### Single Content Type
### Collection Content Type
### Adding a (un)publish date
Navigate to the entity record that should be (un)published, under the `informations` section click the `Add a (un)publish date` button. Enter in the date and click save, the entity record will then be (un)published at the specified time.
### Editing a (un)publish date
Navigate to the entity record that requires its date changed, under the `informations` section click the `Edit (un)publish date` button. Enter in the new date and click save.
### Deleting a (un)publish date
Navigate to the entity record that contains the date that should be removed, under the `informations` section click the `Delete (un)publish date` button.
