## Snowfire App

This packages makes it possible to connect your Laravel app to Snowfire.

## Install the package

Add this to your composer.json

"snowfire/snowfire-app": "dev-master"

Add this to your service providers in `config/app.php`

'Snowfire\App\SnowfireServiceProvider'

Add this to your route middlewares in `app/Http/Kernel.php`

'snowfire' => 'Snowfire\App\Middleware\SnowfireMiddleware',
'snowfireAdmin' => 'Snowfire\App\Middleware\SnowfireAdminMiddleware',

Publish the config file

$ php artisan vendor:publish

Create the database table for snowfire installations

$ php artisan migrate

## Seed data

Add this to your `DatabaseSeeder.php`

$this->call('\Snowfire\App\Storage\Seeder');

## CSRF protection

If you have CSRF middleware activated in `app/Http/Kernel.php` open `app/Http/Middleware/VerifyCsrfToken.php` and add the following to the handle method:

```php
if ($request->header('User-Agent') == 'Snowfire')
{
return $next($request);
}
```

## Integration possibilities

There are two different ways to connect your app to Snowfire. As a link in the admin area and as a public action.

### Example

Lets say you have a list of events. A public action will be something like `http://your-app.com/events/all` which will render an HTML `

    ` list. Then you will have an admin link from Snowfire to `http://your-app.com/admin` which will let users add/edit/remove events.

    Start by adding your actions to `config/snowfire_app.php`

    ```php
    return [
    'id' => 'demo_app',
    'name' => 'Demo app',
    'tab' => 'admin',
    'actions' => [
    'events' => 'action.events.index',
    'event' => 'action.events.show',
    ]
    ];
    ```

    This config adds the admin link as a named route called `snowfire.tab` and a route for all events. Both tab and actions are optional (but you need one of them, right?)

    #### Your `routes.php`

    ```php

    // Admin routes
    Route::group(['prefix' => 'admin/{snowfireAppId}', 'before' => 'snowfireAppAuth', 'namespace' => 'Admin'], function()
    {
    Route::get('/', ['as' => 'admin.index', function($appId)
    {
    return 'Admin for appId: ' . $appId;
    }]);

    });

    // Action routes
    Route::group(['namespace' => 'Action'], function()
    {
    Route::get('events', ['uses' => 'EventsController@index', 'as' => 'action.events.index']);
    Route::get('events/{id}', ['uses' => 'EventsController@event', 'as' => 'action.events.show']);
    });
    ```

    This creates an admin route and the public action. The admin route is behind a snowfireAppAuth filter which makes sure the user is logged in and trusted.

    ### Your Snowfire snippet to the public event list

    Login to Snowfire and install the app (System -> Apps)

    http://your-hosted-app.com/snowfire/install

    Create a new snippet with this code:

    ```javascript

    All events

    ```

    **Warning:** Adding applications to the root / (i.e the home page) is currently not supported. Please create a sub page to add your app.

    Now just add the snippet to a page and it will show you a list of events.

    ## Links

    When you are working in an action that will be rendered within Snowfire, you need to use:

    ```html
    A linked route
    ```

    This will make sure the links works from within Snowfire.
