Guest Submit + Special Parameters ? about laravel-survey

[matt-daneshvar]

Hi @m7mdcc, thanks for using the package.

I haven't explored these before, but here are a few ideas on how you may be able to achieve them in your project:

Passing additional parameters

One way to do this may be to override the views that come with the package. To start, I would first publish those views:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="MattDaneshvar\Survey\SurveyServiceProvider" --tag="views"

Then update resources/views/vendor/survey/standard.blade.php to include a welcome message:

<div class="card">
    <div class="card-header bg-white p-4">
        <h1>Welcome, {{ $firstName }}</h1>
        <h2 class="mb-0">{{ $survey->name }}</h2>
...

And finally, update my parent view (the one that includes the survey::standard view) to pass in additional parameters:

@include('survey::standard', ['survey' => $survey, 'firstName' => auth()->user()->name])

Changing limit-per-participant behaviour

To do this, I would create a new Entry class in my app that extends the package's Entry model. Then override a few specific methods, including the validateMaxEntryPerUserRequirement method, to allow guest participants:

namespace App\Models;

use MattDaneshvar\Survey\Models\Entry as BaseEntry;

class Entry extends BaseEntry {
  public function validateMaxEntryPerUserRequirement() {
    // Your new implementation
  }
}

If you're thinking of using a hidden input within the survey, you may follow the same strutucre as above to pass in additional parameters to the survey view.

Let me know if these work for you or if you encounter any issues.
