Orders ​

Overview ​

As you'd expect, orders on an online system show what users have purchased. Orders are linked to Carts and although you would generally only have one Order per cart, the system will support multiple if your store requires it.

Lunar\Models\Order

Create an order ​

You can either create an order directly, or the recommended way is via a Cart model.

$order = \Lunar\Models\Order::create([/** .. */]);

// Recommended way
$order = Cart::first()->createOrder(
    allowMultiple: false,
    draftOrderId: null,
);

• allowMultiple - Generally carts will only have one draft order associated, however if you want to allow carts to have multiple, you can pass true here.
• draftOrderId - If you want to be sure you're going to get the existing/correct order back, you can pass an ID of a draft order here to use, note it does have to relate to this cart already.

The underlying class for creating an order is Lunar\Actions\Carts\CreateOrder, you are free to override this in the config file config/cart.php

return [
    //  ...
    'actions' => [
        // ...
        'order_create' => CustomCreateOrder::class
    ]
]

At minimum your class should look like the following:

final class CreateOrder extends Lunar\Actions\AbstractAction
{
    /**
     * Execute the action.
     */
    public function execute(
        Cart $cart,
        bool $allowMultipleOrders = false,
        int $orderIdToUpdate = null
    ): self {
        return $this;
    }
}

Validating a cart before creation. ​

If you also want to check before you attempt this if the cart is ready to create an order, you can call the helper method:

$cart->canCreateOrder();

Under the hood this will use the ValidateCartForOrderCreation class which lunar provides and throw any validation exceptions with helpful messages if the cart isn't ready to create an order.

You can specific you're own class to handle this in config/cart.php.

return [
    // ...
    'validators' => [
        'order_create' => MyCustomValidator::class,
    ]
]

Which may look something like:

<?php

//...

class MyCustomValidator extends \Lunar\Validation\BaseValidator
{
    public function validate(): bool
    {
        $cart = $this->parameters['cart'];
        
        if ($somethingWentWrong) {
            return $this->fail('There was an issue');
        }
        
        return $this->pass();
    }
}

Order Reference Generating ​

By default Lunar will generate a new order reference for you when you create an order from a cart. The format for this is:

{year}-{month}-{0..0}{orderId}

{0..0} indicates the order id will be padded with up to four 0's for example:

2022-01-0001
2022-01-0011
2022-01-0111
2022-01-1111

Custom Generators ​

If your store has a specific requirement for how references are generated, you can easily swap out the Lunar one for your own:

config/lunar/orders.php

return [
    'reference_generator' => App\Generators\MyCustomGenerator::class,
];

Or, if you don't want references at all (not recommended) you can simply set it to null

Here's the underlying class for the custom generator:

namespace App\Generators;

use Lunar\Models\Order;

class MyCustomGenerator implements OrderReferenceGeneratorInterface
{
    /**
     * {@inheritDoc}
     */
    public function generate(Order $order): string
    {
        // ...
        return 'my-custom-reference';
    }
}

Modifying Orders ​

If you need to programmatically change the Order values or add in new behaviour, you will want to extend the Order system.

You can find out more in the Extending Lunar section for Order Modifiers.

Order Lines ​

Lunar\Models\OrderLine

Create an order line ​

\Lunar\Models\OrderLine::create([
    // ...
]);

Or via the relationship

$order->lines()->create([
    // ...
]);

Order Addresses ​

An order can have many addresses, typically you would just have one for billing and one for shipping.

\Lunar\Models\OrderAddress::create([
    'order_id' => 1,
    'country_id' => 1,
    'title' => null,
    'first_name' => 'Jacob',
    'last_name' => null,
    'company_name' => null,
    'line_one' => '123 Foo Street',
    'line_two' => null,
    'line_three' => null,
    'city' => 'London',
    'state' => null,
    'postcode' => 'NW1 1WN',
    'delivery_instructions' => null,
    'contact_email' => null,
    'contact_phone' => null,
    'type' => 'shipping', // billing/shipping
    'shipping_option' => null, // A unique code for you to identify shipping
]);

// Or via the relationship.
$order->addresses()->create([
    // ...
]);

You can then use some relationship helpers to fetch the address you need:

$order->shippingAddress;
$order->billingAddress;

Shipping Options ​

To add Shipping Options you will need to extend Lunar to add in your own logic.

Then in your checkout, or where ever you want, you can fetch these options:

\Lunar\Facades\ShippingManifest::getOptions(\Lunar\Models\Cart $cart);

This will return a collection of Lunar\DataTypes\ShippingOption objects.

Adding the shipping option to the cart ​

Once the user has selected the shipping option they want, you will need to add this to the cart so it can calculate the new totals.

$cart->setShippingOption(\Lunar\DataTypes\ShippingOption $option);

Transactions ​

Lunar\Models\Transaction

Create a transaction ​

Most stores will likely want to store a transaction against the order, this helps determining how much has been paid, how it was paid and give a clue on the best way to issue a refund if needed.

\Lunar\Models\Transaction::create([
    //...
]);

// Or via the order
$order->transactions()->create([
    //..
]);

These can then be returned via the relationship.

$order->transactions; // Get all transactions.

$order->charges; // Get all transactions that are charges.

$order->refunds; // Get all transactions that are refunds.

Payments ​

We will be looking to add support for the most popular payment providers, so keep an eye out here as we will list them all out.

In the meantime, you can absolutely still get a storefront working, at the end of the day Lunar doesn't really mind if you what payment provider you use or plan to use.

In terms of an order, all it's worried about is whether or not the placed_at column is populated on the orders table, the rest is completely up to you how you want to handle that. We have some helper utilities to make such things easier for you as laid out above.

And as always, if you have any questions you can reach out on our Discord!

Order Status ​

The placed_at field determines whether an Order is considered draft or placed. The Order model has two helper methods to determine the status of an Order.

$order->isDraft();
$order->isPlaced();

Order Notifications ​

Lunar allows you to specify what Laravel mailers/notifications should be available for sending when you update an order's status. These are configured in the lunar/orders config file and are defined like so:

'statuses'     => [
    'awaiting-payment' => [
        'label' => 'Awaiting Payment',
        'color' => '#848a8c',
        'mailers' => [
            App\Mail\MyMailer::class,
            App\Mail\MyOtherMailer::class,
        ],
        'notifications' => [],
    ],
    // ...
],

Now when you update an order's status in the hub, you will have these mailers available if the new status is awaiting-payment. You can then choose the email addresses which the email should be sent to and also add an additional email address if required.

Once updated, Lunar will keep a render of the email sent out in the activity log so you have a clear history of what's been sent out.

Mailer template ​

When building out the template for your mailer, you should assume you have access to the $order model. When the status is updated this is passed through to the view data for the mailer, along with any additional content entered. Since you may not always have additional content when sending out the mailer, you should check the existence first.

Here's an example of what the template could look like:

<h1>It's on the way!</h1>

<p>Your order with reference {{ $order->reference }} has been dispatched!</p>

<p>{{ $order->total->formatted() }}</p>

@if($content ?? null)
    <h2>Additional notes</h2>
    <p>{{ $content }}</p>
@endif

@foreach($order->lines as $line)
    <!--  -->
@endforeach

Order Invoice PDF ​

By default when you click "Download PDF" in the hub when viewing an order, you will get a basic PDF generated for you to download. You can publish the view that powers this to create your own PDF template.

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=lunar.hub.views

This will create a view called resources/vendor/adminhub/pdf/order.blade.php, where you will be able to freely customise the PDF you want displayed on download.
