### Install and migrate Approvals for Laravel

Source: https://github.com/roundly-consulting/approvals-for-laravel/blob/main/README.md

Install the package via Composer, publish its migrations, and run the migrations. Requires PHP 8.4 and Laravel 12 or 13. If models use UUID/ULID keys, set APPROVALS_KEY_TYPE=uuid (or ulid) before migrating.

```bash
composer require roundly-consulting/approvals-for-laravel
php artisan vendor:publish --tag="approvals-migrations"
php artisan migrate
```

### Open and resolve an approval request with quorum

Source: https://github.com/roundly-consulting/approvals-for-laravel/blob/main/README.md

Open a request requiring two of three named approvers, then approve as those approvers. Unauthorized approvers throw UnauthorizedApprovalException. Status transitions from Pending to Approved and isApproved() returns true after the quorum is met.

```php
use RoundlyConsulting\Approvals\Facades\Approvals;

Approvals::request($invoice)->from([$lead, $qa, $pm])->quorum(2)->open();

Approvals::for($invoice)->as($lead)->approve();
Approvals::status($invoice);                      // ApprovalStatus::Pending — 1 of 2

Approvals::for($invoice)->as($intern)->approve(); // throws UnauthorizedApprovalException: not named

Approvals::for($invoice)->as($qa)->because('Totals check out')->approve();
Approvals::status($invoice);                      // ApprovalStatus::Approved
$invoice->isApproved();                           // true
```

### Add approval traits to Eloquent models

Source: https://github.com/roundly-consulting/approvals-for-laravel/blob/main/README.md

Apply GivesApprovals to the deciding model and HasApprovals and RequiresApproval to the decided-on model. This enables the models to give and receive approvals.

```php
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use RoundlyConsulting\Approvals\Traits\GivesApprovals;
use RoundlyConsulting\Approvals\Traits\HasApprovals;
use RoundlyConsulting\Approvals\Traits\RequiresApproval;

class User extends Model
{
    use GivesApprovals;
}

class Invoice extends Model
{
    use HasApprovals;
    use RequiresApproval;
}
```
