Usage

Class Diagram

Publish Vendor Files (config, mingrations,seeder)

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Harishdurga\LaravelQuiz\LaravelQuizServiceProvider"

If you are updating the package, you may need to run the above command to publish the vendor files. But please take a backup of the config file. Also run the migration command to add new columns to the existing tables.

Create Topic

$computer_science = Topic::create([
    'topic' => 'Computer Science',
    'slug' => 'computer-science',
]);

Create Sub Topics

$algorithms = Topic::create([
    'topic' => 'Algorithms',
    'slug' => 'algorithms'
]);
$computer_science->children()->save($algorithms);

Question Types

A seeder class QuestionTypeSeeder will be publsihed into the database/seeders folder. Run the following command to seed question types.

php artisan db:seed --class=QuestionTypeSeeder

Currently this package is configured to only handle the following type of questions

• multiple_choice_single_answer
• multiple_choice_multiple_answer
• fill_the_blank Create a QuestionType:

QuestionType::create(['question_type'=>'select_all']);

User Defined Methods To Evaluate The Answer For Each Question Type

Though this package provides three question types you can easily change the method that is used to evaluate the answer. You can do this by updating the get_score_for_question_type property in config file.

'get_score_for_question_type' => [
    1 => '\Harishdurga\LaravelQuiz\Models\QuizAttempt::get_score_for_type_1_question',
    2 => '\Harishdurga\LaravelQuiz\Models\QuizAttempt::get_score_for_type_2_question',
    3 => '\Harishdurga\LaravelQuiz\Models\QuizAttempt::get_score_for_type_3_question',
    4 => 'Your custom method'
]

But your method has needs to have the following signature

/**
 * @param QuizAttemptAnswer[] $quizQuestionAnswers All the answers of the quiz question
 */
public static function get_score_for_type_3_question(QuizAttempt $quizAttempt, QuizQuestion $quizQuestion, array $quizQuestionAnswers, $data = null): float
{
    // Your logic here
}

If you need to pass any data to your method then you can pass it as the last $data parameter. When you call the caclculate_score() method of QuizAttempt then you can pass the data as the parameter.

Create Question

$question_one = Question::create([
    'question' => 'What is an algorithm?',
    'question_type_id' => 1,
    'is_active' => true,
    'media_url'=>'url',
    'media_type'=>'image'
]);

Fetch Questions Of A Question Type

$question_type->questions

Fetch only questions with an option (valid question)

Question::hasOptions()->get()

Attach Topics To Question

$question->topics()->attach([$computer_science->id, $algorithms->id]);

Question Option

$question_two_option_one = QuestionOption::create([
            'question_id' => $question_two->id,
            'option' => 'array',
            'is_correct' => true,
            'media_type'=>'image',
            'media_url'=>'media url'
        ]);

Fetch Options Of A Question

$question->options

Create Quiz

$quiz = Quiz::create([
    'title' => 'Computer Sceince Quiz',
    'description' => 'Test your knowledge of computer science',
    'slug' => 'computer-science-quiz',
    'time_between_attempts' => 0, //Time in seconds between each attempt
    'total_marks' => 10,
    'pass_marks' => 6,
    'max_attempts' => 1,
    'is_published' => 1,
    'valid_from' => now(),
    'valid_upto' => now()->addDay(5),
    'media_url'=>'',
    'media_type'=>'',
    'negative_marking_settings'=>[
        'enable_negative_marks' => true,
        'negative_marking_type' => 'fixed',
        'negative_mark_value' => 0,
    ]
]);

Negative Marking Settings

By default negative marking is enabled for backward compatibility. You can disable it by setting the enable_negative_marks to false. Two types of negative marking are supported(negative_marking_type). fixed and percentage. Negative marking value defined at question level will be given precedence over the value defined at quiz level. If you want to set the negative marking value at quiz level, set the negative_mark_value to the value you want to set. If you want to set the negative marking value at question level, set the negative_marks of QuizQuestion to your desired value. No need to give a negative number instead the negative marks or percentage should be given in positive.

Adding An Author(s) To A Quiz

$admin = Author::create(
            ['name' => "John Doe"]
        );
$quiz = Quiz::factory()->make()->create([
            'name' => 'Sample Quiz',
            'slug' => 'sample-quiz'
        ]);
QuizAuthor::create([
            'quiz_id' => $quiz->id,
            'author_id' => $admin->id,
            'author_type' => get_class($admin),
            'author_role' => 'admin',
        ]);
