Labrodev Contactable

A configurable Livewire contact form for Laravel with optional model persistence and pluggable notify channels (mail, log, webhook).

Requirements

• PHP 8.2+
• Laravel 12+
• Livewire 4+

Installation

Install via Composer:

composer require labrodev/contactable

Then run composer update labrodev/contactable.

Configuration

Publish the config file:

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

Edit config/contactable.php:

Key	Description
fields	Array of field definitions: key, type, label, placeholder, rules, messages. Use translation keys (e.g. contactable::fields.name.label) or your own keys; the view passes them through __() at render time.
model	Optional Eloquent model FQCN to store submissions (e.g. App\Models\ContactRequest). Set to null to skip persistence.
notify	Channel (mail, log, or webhook) and channel-specific options (mail to address, webhook URL, log path).
success_message	Flash message after a successful submit (translation key or literal string).
submit_button_text / submit_loading_text	Button labels (translation key or literal string).
redirect_route	Named route to redirect to after submit (e.g. 'contact'). Omit or null to stay on the current page.

Usage

In your layout, include Livewire scripts and styles (@livewireScripts, @livewireStyles, or the Livewire stack). Then drop in the form with the Blade component:

<x-contactable />

Or use the Livewire component directly:

<livewire:contactable::contactable />

View customization

Publish the views to match your design system:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=contactable-views

Edit:

• resources/views/vendor/contactable/livewire/contactable.blade.php – Form markup and styling.
• resources/views/vendor/contactable/components/contactable.blade.php – Wrapper (e.g. card, grid).

Published views override the package defaults.

Translations

All user-facing text (labels, placeholders, validation messages, success message, button text) is translated via Laravel’s __() helper at render time. Config holds translation keys (or literal strings); the view and component pass them through __() so the current locale is used.

Package lang (default)

The package ships with English in resources/lang/en.php under the contactable:: namespace. The default config uses keys such as:

• contactable::fields.name.label, contactable::fields.name.placeholder, contactable::fields.name.required, contactable::fields.name.max
• contactable::fields.email.*, contactable::fields.message.*
• contactable::success_message, contactable::submit_button_text, contactable::submit_loading_text

Adding or overriding translations

Option 1 – Publish and edit package lang

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=contactable-lang

This copies the package lang to lang/vendor/contactable/. Edit en.php or add a new locale (e.g. ua.php, de.php) with the same structure. Laravel will use the correct file based on config('app.locale') (and fallback locale).

Option 2 – Use your own keys

In config/contactable.php (after publishing config), set labels, messages, and button text to your own translation keys (e.g. 'label' => 'contact.form.name', 'success_message' => 'contact.form.success_message'). The view and component still call __() on these values, so your app’s lang files (e.g. lang/en.json, lang/ua.json) are used. No need to publish the package lang if you rely entirely on your own keys.

Optional model persistence

If you set contactable.model to an Eloquent model class, the package will create a record on each submission. Your model should have fillable (or guarded) attributes matching the field keys (e.g. name, email, message). Create your own migration for the table; the package does not ship one.

Notify channels

Built-in channels:

• mail – Sends an email to contactable.notify.mail.to (env: CONTACTABLE_MAIL_TO or falls back to MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS).
• log – Appends a line to a log file (default storage/logs/contact-submissions.log; path configurable).
• webhook – POSTs the submission JSON to contactable.notify.webhook.url (env: CONTACTABLE_WEBHOOK_URL). Timeout is configurable.

Custom channels

Implement Labrodev\Contactable\Contracts\NotifierChannel (single method: send(ContactableData $data): void), then register it in config:

// config/contactable.php
'notify' => [
    'channel' => 'postmark',
    'channels' => [
        'postmark' => \App\ContactChannels\PostmarkChannel::class,
    ],
    // ... mail, log, webhook options as needed
],

Your class is resolved from the container (you can inject dependencies). The package merges your channels with the built-in ones, so you can override or add channels (e.g. postmark, telegram).

Development

From the package root (e.g. after cloning or in a path repo):

composer install
composer test
composer pint
composer stan
