Lyre Facet

Lyre Facet is a lyre/lyre add-on for tagging and organizing records with reusable facets and facet values.

It provides three core models:

• Facet: the taxonomy group, such as Blog Category, Task Categories, or Subscription Plan Category
• FacetValue: a concrete value inside a facet, such as Free or Main
• FacetedEntity: the polymorphic pivot that links any facetable model to a facet value

How It Works

Tagging models

Any model can become facetable by using Lyre\Facet\Concerns\HasFacet.

That trait adds:

• facetedEntities() morph-many relation to the pivot table
• facetValues() has-many-through relation to attached values
• attachFacetValues($ids) helper to replace all current facet assignments

This is how Aspire tags exams, assessments, tasks, subscription plans, and articles.

Hierarchies

Both Facet and FacetValue support optional parent/child hierarchy through parent_id.

The package exposes:

• parent()
• children()
• ancestors()
• descendants()
• roots() scope

Repositories for Facet and FacetValue use HasHierarchy, which powers:

• GET /api/facets/hierarchy/{facetId?}
• GET /api/facetvalues/hierarchy/{facetValueId?}

facetvalues/hierarchy also accepts a facet query parameter so clients can scope root values to a specific facet.

Resource behavior

• Facet uses slug as ID_COLUMN
• FacetValue uses slug as ID_COLUMN
• both expose lightweight computed fields such as parent_name and facet_name
• hierarchy endpoints return nested arrays with a depth field

Installation

composer require lyre/facet

Publish assets:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Lyre\Facet\Providers\LyreFacetServiceProvider"

If you use Filament, register the plugin:

use Lyre\Facet\Filament\Plugins\LyreFacetFilamentPlugin;

$panel->plugins([
    new LyreFacetFilamentPlugin(),
]);

Example Usage

Add the trait to a model:

use Lyre\Facet\Concerns\HasFacet;

class Article extends Model
{
    use HasFacet;
}

Attach facet values:

$article->attachFacetValues([$newsId, $featuredId]);

Query tagged models through normal Lyre relation filters:

GET /api/articles?relation=facetValues,featured

Or scope dynamic section data in lyre/content using the facet filter, which resolves all values under a named facet and constrains the target model to those values.

Aspire Usage Notes

In Aspire, the package is used for:

• blog article categories
• exam categories
• task categories, including the Free task flow
• subscription plan categories, including the Main plan flow

Good examples to inspect:

• app/Models/Assessment.php
• app/Models/Exam.php
• database/seeders/FacetSeeder.php
• database/seeders/TaskSeeder.php
• app/Filament/Resources/AssessmentResource.php
• app/Filament/Resources/ExamResource.php

Limits To Keep In Mind

• attachFacetValues() is a replace-all helper, not an additive sync helper
• facet-based filtering depends on models exposing the facetValues relation
• hierarchy support is implemented only where the repository explicitly uses HasHierarchy
