I am using Voyager for a basic BREAD admin to a small web application I am building for a small non-profit. Yearly they need to import 300-500 new semi-complex entries into the database from Excel, so I want to build an admin script that will store all the data in the right places automatically.

Is there a structured way to add a custom controller/view to Voyager?

(I have not found such documentation yet, maybe I am blind. So I have started manually extending existing bits of Voyager, but as I get deeper I want to make sure this is the best option for future growth.)

  • Does this help? https://docs.laravelvoyager.com/customization/overriding-files#using-custom-controllers – Orlando P. Jan 29 '19 at 21:40
  • Probably if I wanted to add an import on all tables in Voyager... Being these imports will touch most all my tables that doesn't feel quite right. I did use this to help see what to extend and how to format it. I didn't want to override existing functionality really though. – gokujou Jan 29 '19 at 21:49
  • Currently I am just mimicking Voyager's admin auth for my custom routes and its view templates, and then extending controllers to fit. I think the biggest issue may be access control if I needed it, but I don't so I may not dig into that. – gokujou Jan 29 '19 at 21:53

Yes, You can add custom controllers to voyager.

First let's make a controller: php artisan make:controller ExportController

//app/Http/Controllers/ExportController.php
class ExportController extends Controller{
   public function form(){
      return view('export.form');
   }
   public function submit(){
      // do export stuff 
   }
}

Add two routes as below:

//routes/web.php
Route::group(['prefix' => 'admin','as' => 'voyager.', 'middleware' => 'admin.user'], function()
{
    Route::get('export','ExportController@form')->name('export.form');
    Route::post('export','ExportController@submit')->name('export.submit');
});

then make the related view file at resources/views/export/form.blade.php just note you need to @extends('voyager::master')

make a new menu item using Voyager's menu builder
