Simple Referrals system for Laravel

Latest Version on Packagist Software License Total Downloads

A simple system of referrals with the ability to assign different programs for different users.

This package was created based on the lesson author is Damir Miladinov, with some minor changes, for which I express my gratitude to him.

Installation

Add dependency

Via Composer

$ composer require pdazcom/laravel-referrals

Then in config/app.php add service-provider and facade alias:

'providers' => [
    ...
    Pdazcom\Referrals\Providers\ReferralsServiceProvider::class,
    ...
];

Configuration

First of all you need to run:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=referrals-config

to make referrals.php file in your config folder.

Migrations

OPTIONAL: If you want to make changes to the migration files, you also need to run:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=referrals-migrations

Then change new migrations.

Run php artisan migrate to make tables in database.

Middleware

Add middleware to your web group in Http/Kernel.php:

'web' => [
    ...
    \Pdazcom\Referrals\Http\Middleware\StoreReferralCode::class,
],

Add Pdazcom\Referrals\Traits\ReferralsMember trait to your Users model:

    class User extends Authenticatable {
        use ReferralsMember;
        ...
    }

Usage

Add new referrer event

Then in Http/Controllers/Auth/RegisterController.php add event dispatcher:

...
use Pdazcom\Referrals\Events\UserReferred;

...
// overwrite registered function
public function registered(Request $request)
{
    // dispatch user referred event here
    UserReferred::dispatch(request()->cookie('ref'), $user);
}

From this point all referral links would be attached new users as referrals to users owners of these links.

Create referral program

And then you need to create a referral program in database and attach it to users by referral_program_id field:

    php artisan tinker
    
    Pdazcom\Referrals\Models\ReferralProgram::create(['name'=>'example', 'title' => 'Example Program', 'description' => 'Laravel Referrals made easy thanks to laravel-referrals package based on an article by Damir Miladinov,', 'uri' => 'register']);

add association to config referrals.programs:

    ...
    'example' => App\ReferralPrograms\ExampleProgram.php

and create the reward class App\ReferralPrograms\ExampleProgram.php for referral program:

<?php

namespace App\ReferralPrograms;

use Pdazcom\Referrals\Programs\AbstractProgram;

class ExampleProgram extends AbstractProgram {

    const ROYALTY_PERCENT = 30;

    /**
    *   It can be anything that will allow you to calculate the reward.   
    * 
    *   @param $rewardObject
    */
    public function reward($rewardObject)
    {
        $this->recruitUser->balance = $this->recruitUser->balance + $rewardObject * (self::ROYALTY_PERCENT/100);
        $this->recruitUser->save();
    }

}

create referral link:

php artisan tinker

Pdazcom\Referrals\Models\ReferralLink::create(['user_id' => 1, 'referral_program_id' => 1]);

and finally dispatch reward event in any place of your code:

use Pdazcom\Referrals\Events\ReferralCase;
...

ReferralCase::dispatch('example', $referralUser, $rewardObject);

From this point all referrals action you need would be reward recruit users by code logic in your reward classes.

Create many programs and their reward classes. Enjoy!
