General Upgrade Instructions ​

Update the package

sh
composer update lunarphp/lunar

Run any migrations

sh
php artisan migrate

Support Policy ​

Lunar currently provides bug fixes and security updates for only the latest minor release, e.g. 0.7.

1.0 ​

High Impact ​

Media Conversions ​

The lunar.media.conversions configuration has been removed, in favour of registering custom media definitionss instead. Media definition classes allow you to register media collections, conversions and much more. See Media Collections for further information.

0.7 ​

High Impact ​

TaxBreakdown casting has been refactored ​

Database columns which have tax_breakdown casting will now actually cast back into the TaxBreakdown object. This means you will need to update any storefront views or API transformers to accommodate this.

Before:

php
@foreach ($order->tax_breakdown as $tax)
    {{ $tax->total->formatted }}
@endforeach
php
@foreach ($order->tax_breakdown->amounts as $tax)
    {{ $tax->price->formatted }}
@endforeach

When migrations are run, a state update routine will trigger to convert all existing tax_breakdown column. Please ensure you take a backup of your database beforehand and avoid running in production until you are satisfied the data is correct.

Medium Impact ​

Discount updates ​

Limitations and exclusions on discounts have had a revamp, please double-check all discounts you have in Lunar to ensure they are all correct. Generally speaking the integrity should be unaffected, but it's better to be sure.

Calculate lines pipeline update ​

If you are using unit quantities greater than 1, there was an issue in the calculate lines pipeline which resulted in the unit quantity being applied twice, so if the price was 10 with a unit quantity of 100 it would show the unit price as 0.001 instead of 0.01. This should be resolved going forward to show correctly.

Low Impact ​

Click & Collect parameter added to ShippingOption ​

The Lunar\DataTypes\ShippingOption class now has an additional collect parameter. This can be used to determine whether the shipping option is considered "collect in store". This defaults to false so there are no additional steps if your store doesn't offer click and collect.

php
ShippingManifest::addOption(
    new ShippingOption(
        name: 'Pick up in store',
        description: 'Pick your order up in store',
        identifier: 'PICKUP',
        price: new Price(/** .. */),
        taxClass: $taxClass,
        collect: true
    )
);

0.6 ​

High Impact ​

Search indexing refactor ​

Search indexing has been completely re-written to be more extendable and performant. You will need to migrate any Observer classes that use the indexer event to the new indexer class implementation.

The following methods have also been removed from the Searchable trait and should be migrated.

  • addFilterableAttributes
  • addSearchableAttributes
  • addSortableAttributes
  • getObservableEvents

If you still wish to use these methods you will need to re-implement them yourself, however this is highly discouraged.

See the Search Extending guide for more information about what indexer classes are and how to use them.

Licensing Manager has been removed ​

You will need ro re-run the addons discover command to update the manifest. No additional steps are required for addons.

shell
$ php artisan lunar:addons:discover

0.5 ​

High Impact ​

meta field cast with Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Casts\AsArrayObject ​

All models with meta attribute are now cast with Laravel's AsArrayObject::class. Change your code to get the value with $model->meta['key'] ?? 'default' instead of $model->meta->key, and without the need of is_object/is_array type checking.

0.4 ​

High Impact ​

Changed Lunar Hub authorization to use spatie/laravel-permission ​

Existing assigned staff permissions are migrated, this should not impact your project. If you have custom authorization checking using Staff->authorize('permission'), change it to Staff->hasPermissionTo('permission')

ShippingManifestInterface ​

Added addOptions, getOptionUsing, getOption, getShippingOption to ShippingManifestInterface

MySQL 8.x Requirement ​

With MySQL 5.7 EOL coming in October 2023 and Lunar's heavy use of JSON fields, Lunar now only supports MySQL 8.x. You may find your project continues to work fine in MySQL 5.7, but we advise upgrading.

Carts ​

  • The shippingTotal property now includes the tax in the amount, use shippingSubTotal instead.
  • A new shippingBreakdown property has been added which will include all shipping costs and be available to pipelines.

If you are modifying the shipping cost outside of your own shipping options in the shipping manifest, you should create a custom cart pipeline and use the shipping breakdown property as this is where the shipping total will be calculated from.

php
use Lunar\Base\ValueObjects\Cart\ShippingBreakdown;
use Lunar\Base\ValueObjects\Cart\ShippingBreakdownItem;

$shippingBreakdown = $cart->shippingBreakdown ?: new ShippingBreakdown;

$shippingBreakdown->items->put('ADDSHIP',
    new ShippingBreakdownItem(
        name: 'Additional Shipping Cost',
        identifier: 'ADDSHIP',
        price: new Price(123, $currency, 1),
    )
);

Cart/Order Relationship ​

The relationship between a cart and an order has been changed, previously the carts table had an order_id column, this has been changed so the cart_id is now on the orders table.

You should update any code that sets the order_id on a cart to cart_id on the order.

We've also introduced the concept of draft and complete orders for carts, so you should update any code that references an order from a cart to the following methods:

php
// Old
$cart->order

// New

/* The order which doesn't have a `placed_at` value */
$cart->draftOrder

/* Any orders which have a `placed_at` value */
$cart->completedOrder

Changes to CreateOrder action ​

The Lunar\Actions\Cart\CreateOrder action has been refactored to run through pipelines, much like how carts are currently calculated. If you are currently using your own CreateOrder action, you should refactor the logic into pipelines and ues the provided action.

DANGER

The CreateOrder class is now final, so if you are extending this action you will need to refactor your implementation.

See Extending Orders

Low impact ​

Add the new fingerprint class reference to config/lunar/carts.php if you have published the config.

php
'fingerprint_generator' => Lunar\Actions\Carts\GenerateFingerprint::class,

0.3 ​

High Impact ​

Support for Laravel 8 removed ​

To install Lunar 0.3 you will need to be on at least Laravel 9. 0.3 introduces support for Laravel 10.

Low Impact ​

Changed Auth guard to use Laravel's default driver. ​

This should not impact your project unless you have customised the admin hub authentication.

Updated db_date function to return just the formmatted string. ​

If you were using db_date helper function, you will now need to wrap it with DB:RAW().

0.2.5 ​

Low Impact ​

If you have a custom DiscountType, you should update the save method to expect the recently saved discount id to be passed.

php
// Before
public function save();

// After
public function save($discountId);

0.2 ​

High Impact ​

Removal of the Cart Manager and Cart Modifiers ​

This release moves away from Cart Modifiers and the Cart Manager.

You can still extend the Cart in the form of pipelines. See Cart Extending.

You need to replace any instances of $cart->getManager() and just reference the cart itself i.e.

php
// Old
$cart->getManager()->setShippingOption();

// New
$cart->setShippingOption();

For calculating the cart totals you should change the following:

php
// Old
$cart->getManager()->getCart();

// New
$cart->calculate();

0.1.0-rc.5 ​

Changed ​

Publishing changes ​

All publishing commands for Lunar now use . as a separator.

  • Rename lunar-hub-translations to lunar.hub.translations
  • Rename lunar-hub-views to lunar.hub.views
  • Rename lunar:hub:public to lunar.hub.public
  • Rename lunar-migrations to lunar.migrations

Brand requirement is now configurable. ​

Whether the product brand is required on your store is now configurable, the default behaviour is set to true. If you wish to change this, simply update config/lunar-hub/products.php.

php
'require_brand' => false,

Migrating from GetCandy to Lunar ​

The initial release of Lunar will be version 0.1.0. This allows for a rapid development cycle until we reach 1.0.0. Understandably, a complete name change is not small task, so we've outlined steps you need to take to bring your install up to the latest Lunar version and move away from GetCandy.

Update composer dependencies ​

json
"getcandy/admin": "^2.0-beta",
"getcandy/core": "^2.0-beta"
json
"lunarphp/lunar": "^0.1"

Any add-ons you are using will need their namespaces updated, the package name should remain the same, i.e.

json
"getcandy/stripe": "^1.0"
json
"lunarphp/stripe": "^0.1"

Once done, remember to run composer update to pull in the latest packages.

Update namespaces ​

If you are using any GetCandy classes, such as models, you will need to update their namespace:

Models ​

php
GetCandy\Models\Product;
php
Lunar\Models\Product;

A simple find and replace in your code should be sufficient, the strings you should search for are:

GetCandy
get-candy
getcandy

Config changes ​

  • Rename the config/getcandy folder to config/lunar
  • Rename the config/getcandy-hub folder to config/lunar-hub
  • Change the prefix in config/lunar/database.php from getcandy_ to lunar_

Also make sure any class references in your config files have been updated to the Lunar namespace.

Meilisearch users ​

Lunar no longer ships with Meilisearch by default. If you use Meilisearch and wish to carry on using it, you will need to require the new Lunar meilisearch package.

sh
composer require lunarphp/meilisearch

This will install the appropriate packages that Scout needs and also register the set up command so you can keep using it, you just need to update the signature.

sh
php artisan lunar:meilisearch:setup

If you were previously using the mysql Scout driver, you should change this to database_index. This populates the search_index table with the terms to be searched upon. You may need to run the scout import command:

sh
php artisan scout:import Lunar\Models\Product

Database migration ​

If you are using the getcandy_ prefix in your database, then you will likely want to update this to lunar_. We have created a command for this purpose to try make the switch as easy as possible.

sh
php artisan lunar:migrate:getcandy

What this command will do ​

  • Remove any previous GetCandy migrations from the migrations table.
  • Run the migrations again with the lunar_ prefix, creating new tables.
  • Copy across the data from the old getcandy_ tables into the new lunar_ tables.
  • Update any polymorphic GetCandy classes to the Lunar namespace.
  • Update field types in attribute_data to the Lunar namespace.

What this command will not do ​

  • Affect any custom tables that have been added outside the core packages.

The intention of this is to provide a non-destructive way to migrate the data. Once the command has been run your getcandy_ tables should remain intact, so you are free to check the data and remove when ready.
