Introduction

This package can handle online meetings with Eloquent models. It provides a simple, fluent API to work with and by default uses Zoom as provider.

use Nncodes\Meeting\Models\Meeting;
use Nncodes\Meeting\Models\MeetingRoom;
use App\Models\Event;
use App\Models\Teacher;

$meeting = Meeting::schedule()
  	->withTopic('English class: verb to be')
  	->startingAt(now()->addMinutes(30))
  	->during(40) //in Minutes
  	->scheduledBy(Event::find(1))
  	->presentedBy(Teacher::find(1))
  	->hostedBy(MeetingRoom::find(1))
  	->save();

Requirements

This package requires PHP 7.3+ and Laravel 6+.

This package uses nncodes/meta-attributes to attach meta attributes to the models.

Installation & setup

You can install the package via composer:

composer require nncodes/laravel-meeting

The package will automatically register itself.

You can use the meeting:install command to publish the migrations and use --config if you also want to publish the config file.

php artisan meeting:install --config

Or you can publish by the traditional way:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Nncodes\Meeting\MeetingServiceProvider" --tag="migrations"
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Nncodes\MetaAttributes\MetaAttributesServiceProvider" --tag="migrations"

After the migration has been published you can create the tables by running the migrations:

php artisan migrate

You can publish the config file with:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Nncodes\Meeting\MeetingServiceProvider" --tag="config"

This is the contents of the published config file:

/**
 * Default Meeting Provider
 * 
 * Here you can specify which meeting provider the package should use by 
 * default. Of course you may use many providers at once using the package.
 */
'default' => env('MEETING_PROVIDER', 'zoom'),

Preparing your models

Scheduler

Responsible for scheduling the meeting, the model must implement the following interface and trait:

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Nncodes\Meeting\Concerns\SchedulesMeetings;
use Nncodes\Meeting\Contracts\Scheduler;

class Event extends Model implements Scheduler
{
    use SchedulesMeetings;
}

Presenter

Responsible for present the meeting, the model must implement the following interface and trait:

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Nncodes\Meeting\Concerns\PresentsMeetings;
use Nncodes\Meeting\Contracts\Presenter;

class Teacher extends User implements Presenter
{
    use PresentsMeetings;
}

Host

Responsible for hosting the meeting, the model must implement the following interface and trait:

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Nncodes\Meeting\Concerns\HostsMeetings;
use Nncodes\Meeting\Contracts\Host;

class Room extends Model implements Host
{
    use HostsMeetings;
}

Participant

Allowed to join a meeting, the model must implement the following interface, trait and the getEmailAddress, getFirstName and getLastName methods:

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Nncodes\Meeting\Concerns\JoinsMeetings;
use Nncodes\Meeting\Contracts\Participant;

class Student extends User implements Participant
{
    use JoinsMeetings;

    /**
     * Email Address of the participant
     *
     * @return string
     */
    public function getParticipantEmailAddress(): string
    {
        return $this->email;
    }

    /**
     * First name of the participant
     *
     * @return string
     */
    public function getParticipantFirstName(): string
    {
        return $this->first_name;
    }

    /**
     * Last name of the participant
     *
     * @return string
     */
    public function getParticipantLastName(): string
    {
        return $this->last_name;
    }
}

Scheduling a meeting

To schedule a meeting you need to use the methods below to properly fill the meeting data:

use Nncodes\Meeting\Models\Meeting;
use App\Models\Event;
use App\Models\Teacher;
use App\Models\Room;

$event = Event::find(1);
$teacher = Teacher::find(1);
$room = Room::find(1);

$meeting = Meeting::schedule()
  	->withTopic('English class: verb to be')
  	->startingAt(now()->addMinutes(30))
  	->during(40) //minutes
  	->scheduledBy($event)
  	->presentedBy($teacher)
  	->hostedBy($room)
  	->save();

Or you can also schedule by the scheduler model:

use Nncodes\Meeting\Models\Meeting;
use App\Models\Event;
use App\Models\Teacher;
use App\Models\Room;

$event->scheduleMeeting()
  	->withTopic('English class: verb to be')
  	->startingAt(now()->addMinutes(30))
  	->during(40) //minutes
  	->presentedBy($teacher)
  	->hostedBy($room)
  	->save()

Of course if needed, you can update the meeting:

use Nncodes\Meeting\Models\Meeting;
use App\Models\Event;
use App\Models\Teacher;
use App\Models\Room;

$meeting = Meeting::find(1);

$meeting->updateTopic('English class: Introducing Yourself')
    ->updateDuration(60)
    ->updateStartTime(now())
    ->updateScheduler(Event::find(1))
    ->updatePresenter(Teacher::find(5))
    ->updateHost(Room::find(1))
    ->save();

Then you can add a participant:

use Nncodes\Meeting\Models\Meeting;
use App\Models\Student;

$meeting = Meeting::find(1);
$student = Student::find(1);

//By the meeting model
$meeting->addParticipant($student);

//Or by the participant model 
$student->bookMeeting($meeting);

To provide the access to the presenter use:

use Nncodes\Meeting\Models\Meeting;

Meeting::find(1)->getPresenterAccess();

And for the participant use:

use Nncodes\Meeting\Models\Meeting;
use App\Models\Student;

$student = Student::find(1);

Meeting::find(1)>getParticipantAccess($student);

More: handling a scheduled meeting.

Retrieving meetings

You can just call from the meeting model:

Scoping meetings by Nncodes\Meeting\Models\Meeting.

$query = Meeting::query();

or call meetings() from any actor:

Scoping meetings from scheduler model, e.g. App\Models\Event with id:1.

$query = Event::find(1)->meetings();

Scoping meetings from presenter model, e.g. App\Models\Teacher with id:1.

$query = Teacher::find(1)->meetings();

Scoping meetings from host model, e.g. App\Models\Room with id:1.

$query = Room::find(1)->meetings();

Scoping meetings from participant model, e.g. App\Models\Student with id:1.

$query = Student::find(1)->meetings();

Eloquent scopes

General scopes

scoping by uuid, e.g b33cac3a-c8da-4b33-a296-30a6acff5af6.

$query->byUuid('b33cac3a-c8da-4b33-a296-30a6acff5af6');

scoping by id, e.g 1.

$query->byId(1);

scoping by provider, e.g. zoom.

$query->provider('zoom');

Scopes for start_time, started_at and ended_at

scoping by start time from, e.g. 15 days ago.

$query->startsFrom(Carbon::now()->sub('15 days'));

scoping by start time until, e.g. 15 days from now.

$query->startsUntil(Carbon::now()->add('15 days'));

Or scoping by start time within a period, e.g. from 15 days ago and 15 days from now.

$query->startsBetween(
    Carbon::now()->sub('15 days'),
    Carbon::now()->add('15 days')
);

scoping by status live, the started but not ended meetings.

$query->live();

scoping by status past, the started and ended meetings.

$query->past();

scoping by status scheduled, the not started meetings.

$query->scheduled();

scoping by scheduled status and where start_time is past. Queries the late to start meetings.

$query->late();

scoping by live status and where started_at + duration is past. Queries the meetings that had exceeded the scheduled duration.

$query->exceeded();

scoping by scheduled status ordering by start_time asc. Queries the next neetings

$query->next();

scoping by last status ordering by ended_at desc queries the last meetings

$query->last();

Scopes for actors

scoping by scheduler, e.g. App\Models\Event with id:1.

$query->scheduler(Event::find(1));

scoping by host, e.g. App\Models\Room with id:1.

$query->host(Room::find(1));

scoping by participant, e.g. App\Models\Student with id:1.

$query->participant(Student::find(1));

scoping by presenter, e.g. App\Models\Teacher with id:1.

$query->presenter(Teacher::find(1));

Finally to retrieve the data you can call any eloquent retriever method, e.g. count, first, get, paginate and etc.

Handling a scheduled meeting

Meeting

When using zoom provider, you can set share_rooms to true, then you don't need to inform a host when scheduling a meeting. The package handles the allocation of rooms.

In this case you can schedule using:

use Nncodes\Meeting\Models\Meeting;
use App\Models\Event;
use App\Models\Teacher;

$meeting = Meeting::schedule()
  	->withTopic('English class: verb to be')
  	->startingAt(now()->addMinutes(30))
  	->during(40) //minutes
  	->scheduledBy(Event::find(1))
  	->presentedBy(Teacher::find(1))
  	->save();

If no rooms is available the expcetion \Nncodes\Meeting\Exceptions\NoZoomRoomAvailable is thrown.

use Nncodes\Meeting\Models\Meeting;

Starting a meeting.

Meeting::find(1)->start();

Ending a meeting.

Meeting::find(1)->end();

Canceling a meeting.

Meeting::find(1)->cancel();

Participants

Add a participant

Adding a participant by Nncodes\Meeting\Models\Meeting

$student = Student::find(1);
Meeting::find(1)->addParticipant($student);

Adding a participant by participant model App\Models\Student

$meeting = Meeting::find(1);
Student::find(1)->bookMeeting($meeting);

Cancel a participation

Canceling a participation by Nncodes\Meeting\Models\Meeting

$student = Student::find(1);
Meeting::find(1)->cancelParticipation($student);

Adding a participant by participant model App\Models\Student

$meeting = Meeting::find(1);
Student::find(1)->cancelMeetingParticipation($meeting);

Join meeting

Joining by Nncodes\Meeting\Models\Meeting

$student = Student::find(1);
Meeting::find(1)->joinParticipant($student);

Joining by participant model App\Models\Student

$meeting = Meeting::find(1);
Student::find(1)->joinMeeting($meeting);

Leave meeting

Leaving by Nncodes\Meeting\Models\Meeting

$student = Student::find(1);
Meeting::find(1)->leaveParticipant($student);

Leaving by participant model App\Models\Student

$meeting = Meeting::find(1);
Student::find(1)->leaveMeeting($meeting);

Getting participants

Getting a participant

$student = Student::find(1);
$participant = Meeting::find(1)->participant($student);

Checking if a meeting has a participant:

$student = Student::find(1);
$bool = Meeting::find(1)->hasParticipant($student);

Getting a list of participants using the morphMany relationship:

//Must inform the participant model type
$participants = Meeting::find(1)->participants(App\Models\Student::class)->get();

Or using the participantsPivot relation.

//Doesn't need to inform participant model type, it gets all types. 
$participants = Meeting::find(1)->participantsPivot;

Getting the first participant ordering by created_at desc, it allows to use a meeting as queue mode service.

$participant = Meeting::find(1)->getNextParticipant();

Hosts

Scoping and verification methods

Given the code:

use Nncodes\Meeting\Models\MeetingRoom;

$startTime = Carbon::now()->addMinutes(30);
$duration = 40;
$endTime = (clone $startTime)->addMinutes($duration);

Scoping an available host:

MeetingRoom::availableBetween($startTime, $endTime);

Scoping a busy host:

MeetingRoom::busyBetween($startTime, $endTime);

Scoping busy and available hosts except for a meeting

use Nncodes\Meeting\Models\Meeting;

$except = Meeting::find(1);

MeetingRoom::availableBetween($startTime, $endTime, $except);
MeetingRoom::busyBetween($startTime, $endTime, $except);

Then you can call any eloquent retriever method, e.g. count, first, get, paginate and etc.

You can also check if a room instance is busy or available:

use Nncodes\Meeting\Models\MeetingRoom;

MeetingRoom::find(1)->isAvailableBetween($startTime, $endTime);
MeetingRoom::find(1)->isBusyBetween($startTime, $endTime);

As the scope methods, you can also specify meeting to exclude from the query:

use Nncodes\Meeting\Models\MeetingRoom;
use Nncodes\Meeting\Models\Meeting;

$except = Meeting::find(1);

MeetingRoom::find(1)->isAvailableBetween($startTime, $endTime, $except);
MeetingRoom::find(1)->isBusyBetween($startTime, $endTime, $except);
