Activate & Deactivate

When your plugin is activated or deactivated you may need to carry out some tasks. This could be checking requirements or handling database tables.

Activate

Activate actions should be defined in app/activate.php. This is special type of flat file which any code is executed. You will also have access to all framework components like $http or $router.

<?php

/** @var  \Herbert\Framework\Application $container */
/** @var  \Herbert\Framework\Http $http */
/** @var  \Herbert\Framework\Router $router */
/** @var  \Herbert\Framework\Enqueue $enqueue */
/** @var  \Herbert\Framework\Panel $panel */
/** @var  \Herbert\Framework\Shortcode $shortcode */
/** @var  \Herbert\Framework\Widget $widget */

use Illuminate\Database\Capsule\Manager as Capsule;

Capsule::schema()->create('orders', function($table)
{
	$table->increments('id');
	$table->string('title');
});

Deactivate

Deactivate actions should be defined in app/deactivate.php.

<?php

/** @var  \Herbert\Framework\Application $container */
/** @var  \Herbert\Framework\Http $http */
/** @var  \Herbert\Framework\Router $router */
/** @var  \Herbert\Framework\Enqueue $enqueue */
/** @var  \Herbert\Framework\Panel $panel */
/** @var  \Herbert\Framework\Shortcode $shortcode */
/** @var  \Herbert\Framework\Widget $widget */

use Illuminate\Database\Capsule\Manager as Capsule;

Capsule::schema()->dropIfExists('orders');
