# Helpdesk Module Install

## 1. Copy the module

Copy `Modules/Helpdesk` into your Laravel 13 project.

## 2. Register the provider

If your module loader reads `module.json`, no manual provider entry is needed. Otherwise add this provider to `bootstrap/providers.php`:

```php
Modules\Helpdesk\Providers\HelpdeskServiceProvider::class,
```

## 3. Add the helpdesk disk

Add this to `config/filesystems.php` disks:

```php
'helpdesk' => [
    'driver' => 'local',
    'root' => storage_path('app/public/helpdesk'),
    'url' => env('APP_URL') . '/storage/helpdesk',
    'visibility' => 'public',
],
```

Then run:

```bash
php artisan storage:link
```

## 4. Add relations to `App\Models\User`

```php
use Modules\Helpdesk\Concerns\HasHelpdeskTickets;

class User extends Authenticatable
{
    use HasHelpdeskTickets;
}
```

Add casts if you want strict booleans:

```php
protected function casts(): array
{
    return [
        'email_verified_at' => 'datetime',
        'password' => 'hashed',
        'helpdesk_agent' => 'boolean',
        'helpdesk_admin' => 'boolean',
    ];
}
```

## 5. Run migrations and seeders

```bash
php artisan migrate
php artisan db:seed --class="Modules\\Helpdesk\\database\\seeders\\HelpdeskDatabaseSeeder"
```

## 6. Add dashboard widget

Place this where you want it on your dashboard:

```blade
@include('helpdesk::dashboard.card')
```

or directly:

```blade
<livewire:helpdesk.dashboard-widget />
```

## 7. Navigation link

```blade
<flux:navlist.item icon="lifebuoy" :href="route('helpdesk.tickets.index')" :current="request()->routeIs('helpdesk.*')" wire:navigate>
    Helpdesk
</flux:navlist.item>
```

## 8. Tests

```bash
php artisan test Modules/Helpdesk/tests/Feature
php artisan dusk Modules/Helpdesk/tests/Browser
```
