# Item Management

All three types of users have access to a tags management table page.

Item Management is the most advanced example included in the PRO theme because every item has a picture, has a category and has multiple tags. The item management can be accessed by clicking `Items Management` from the Laravel Examples section of the sidebar or adding `/items-management` in the url. The authenticated user as an Admin or Creator is able to add, edit and delete items. For adding a new item you can press the Add Item button or add in the url `/new`. If you would like to edit or delete a tag you can click on icons in the Action column. It is also possible to sort the fields or chnage pagination.

On the page for adding a new item you will find a form which allows you to add an image of the item, to fill the name, excerpt, description of the item, a dropdown to choose the category and a multiselect for the tags.

The ``App\Http\Controllers\ItemController.php`` handles data validation when adding a new item and the item creation(see snippet below):

        public function store(Request $request)
        {
            $attributes = request()->validate([
                'name' => ['required', 'unique:items'],
                'excerpt' => ['max:100'],
                'description' => ['max:255'],
                'choices-category' => ['required'],
                'tags' => ['required'],
            ]);

            $item = Item::create([
                'name' => $request->get('name'),
                'excerpt' => $request->get('excerpt'),
                'description' => $request->get('description'),
                'category_id' => $request->get('choices-category'),
                'date' => $request->get('date'),
                'status' => $request->get('status'),
                'show_on_homepage' => $request->get('show_on_homepage'),
                'options' => $request->get('option')
            ]);
            ....
        }

For deleting an item is necessary to remove the association between item and tags. The same controller handles the deletion of an item:

        public function delete($id) {
            $item = Item::find($id);
            $item->tags()->detach();
            $item->delete();
            $this->showSuccesNotification = true;
        }
