Nested sets with Laravel and jQuery

This is a quick implementation of nested sets using Laravel 4 and jQuery. Key features:

• Drag & drop sorting (using jqTree)
• In-place editing (using X-editable)
• Error notification and modal dialogs (using Alertify)

Under the hood, I rely on Aleksander Kalnoy's nested set package for Laravel that takes care of hierarchal data management.

Demo

All operations are done without page refresh:

Installation

• Clone/download this repo
• Configure your MySQL database in ./app/config/database.php
• Run composer install
• Run php artisan migrate

• Launch the web server with php artisan serve and navigate to localhost:8000

You may also wish to install Node.js and Grunt. By default, JS and CSS assets are served concatenated and minified. Enter ./public and run:

• npm install to fetch Grunt packages
• grunt to start the watch task
