Default Controller

After installing LAP, you will find the default BackendController located in app/Http/Controllers/Admin. This controller will come in handy for tweaking things like your dashboard and settings.

You can see there are already 3 very commonly tweaked methods included in this controller. However, if you require additional modification, you can reference the BackendController located in the vendor folder too see which methods can be overridden.

Say you wanted to add some charts to the dashboard, you could do:

public function dashboard()
{
    $charts = Charts::get()

    return view('lap::backend.dashboard', compact('charts'));
}

Now the $charts are usable in your dashboard view file. Fortunately, after installation, this view file can also be located in your resources/views/vendor/lap/backend folder.

The same type of tweaking can also be applied to the settings.
