--- title: "Events for Laravel — docs | Roundly" description: "Developer docs for Events for Laravel: venues with near-me search, ticket types, RSVPs with a race-free waitlist, QR check-in, .ics feeds and JSON-LD." url: https://roundly-consulting.com/open-source/docs/events-for-laravel language: en --- [All packages](https://roundly-consulting.com/open-source.md) Open source # Events for Laravel Install `composer require roundly-consulting/events-for-laravel` Requires: PHP ^8.4 · Laravel ^12.0|^13.0 [GitHub](https://github.com/roundly-consulting/events-for-laravel) [Packagist](https://packagist.org/packages/roundly-consulting/events-for-laravel) [Donate (opens in a new tab)](https://donate.stripe.com/dRmeVe8FX5PF1Qd9pXcEw00) [Patreon](https://www.patreon.com/cw/roundly) ## Overview Run real-world events in any Laravel app: reusable venues with near-me search, ticket types priced in Money, RSVPs with a race-free waitlist, QR check-in at the door, co-hosts and invite-only events — with every time stored in UTC and read in each event’s own timezone. Calendar files and feeds, schema.org JSON-LD, notices and reminders in English and Slovak and an opt-in JSON API sit behind one Events facade. It is headless and MIT-licensed, built only on official Laravel components and Roundly’s own packages for tags, statuses, locations, money, slugs, translations, media, QR codes and cryptography — no third-party event platform. ### What you get #### Venues and near-me search Reusable venues with an address, coordinates and a timezone, opt-in geocoding, and one exact great-circle distance in SQL and PHP. #### The right time, everywhere Instants stored in UTC, wall-clock input read in each event’s own timezone, DST gaps refused, and all-day festivals that keep their dates. #### Ticket types and a payment seam Free and paid ticket types priced in Money, with capacity, sale windows and party limits. Paid seats are held while your own checkout collects. #### RSVPs with a race-free waitlist Going, interested or not going, guests per RSVP and a first-fit waitlist with no queue-jumping — exact under concurrent requests on MySQL and PostgreSQL. #### QR check-in at the door Unguessable encrypted codes, a QR that is never cached, idempotent scans, a check-in window, manual check-in and one-step code rotation. #### Private events and co-hosts Public, link-only or invite-only events, co-hosts, organizer transfer and team organizers — one visibility rule for lists, pages, feeds and notices. #### Calendars, search and notices .ics files and feeds, schema.org JSON-LD, queued notices and reminders in English and Slovak, and an opt-in JSON API. #### Facade, DI or actions One Events facade, an injectable manager or single-purpose actions — and a recording fake that still performs every call. ### Documentation #### [Use cases](https://roundly-consulting.com/open-source/docs/events-for-laravel/use-cases.md) Where the package fits — meetup platforms, venues and clubs, conferences, ticketing through your own checkout, private events and near-me listings. #### [Installation](https://roundly-consulting.com/open-source/docs/events-for-laravel/installation.md) Install via Composer, run events:install and migrate, settle key types and table names, add the model traits and schedule the two sweeps. #### [Configuration](https://roundly-consulting.com/open-source/docs/events-for-laravel/configuration.md) Every config key with its env variable and default — keys, tables, models, defaults, venues, payments, check-in, posters, URLs, API and notices. #### [Models and schema](https://roundly-consulting.com/open-source/docs/events-for-laravel/models-and-schema.md) The seven tables and seven models, what the Event model reads, its query scopes, the enums, DTOs and contracts, and swapping a model. #### [The Events facade](https://roundly-consulting.com/open-source/docs/events-for-laravel/facade.md) Tour the Events facade — make(), the for($event) handle and its sub-handles, venues, RSVPs, invitations, the builders and the model traits. #### [DI and actions](https://roundly-consulting.com/open-source/docs/events-for-laravel/without-facade.md) Skip the facade: inject EventsManager or call one of the 49 single-purpose actions — every execute() signature with its facade path. #### [Creating and editing events](https://roundly-consulting.com/open-source/docs/events-for-laravel/creating-events.md) Build and publish events fluently or from CreateEventData, then edit, find, list, set posters, transfer, delete and restore them. #### [Time and timezones](https://roundly-consulting.com/open-source/docs/events-for-laravel/time-and-timezones.md) UTC storage, wall-clock input in each event’s timezone, DST gaps and overlaps, durations and doors, all-day and multi-day events and time scopes. #### [Statuses and lifecycle](https://roundly-consulting.com/open-source/docs/events-for-laravel/statuses.md) Six states on lifecycle-for-laravel — publish, postpone, reschedule, cancel, complete and move online — the guards, phases and your own workflow. #### [Venues and near-me search](https://roundly-consulting.com/open-source/docs/events-for-laravel/venues.md) Reusable venues with addresses, coordinates and timezones, who may edit them, opt-in geocoding and an exact near-me distance in SQL. #### [Ticket types and payments](https://roundly-consulting.com/open-source/docs/events-for-laravel/ticket-types.md) Ticket types priced in Money with capacity, sale windows and party limits — plus seat holds, your payment collector, the webhook and refunds. #### [RSVPs and the waitlist](https://roundly-consulting.com/open-source/docs/events-for-laravel/rsvp-waitlist.md) Going, interested or not going, guests and party limits, capacity under concurrency, the first-fit waitlist and the managers’ attendee tools. #### [Check-in at the door](https://roundly-consulting.com/open-source/docs/events-for-laravel/check-in.md) Unguessable encrypted codes and a never-cached QR, scoped and unscoped door scans, refusals, the window, manual check-in and code rotation. #### [Organizers, co-hosts and invitations](https://roundly-consulting.com/open-source/docs/events-for-laravel/organizers-invitations.md) Users and teams as organizers, who manages an event, co-hosts, organizer transfer and invite-only events with single-use, hashed tokens. #### [Categories and labels](https://roundly-consulting.com/open-source/docs/events-for-laravel/categories-labels.md) One curated category tree and free-form labels through tags-for-laravel — seeding, tagging, filtering, private labels, organizer scopes and overrides. #### [Privacy and authorization](https://roundly-consulting.com/open-source/docs/events-for-laravel/privacy.md) Who sees an event, what each surface hides, the EventPolicy abilities, the venue rules and the visitor-IP note for near-me search. #### [Calendar files, feeds and JSON-LD](https://roundly-consulting.com/open-source/docs/events-for-laravel/calendar-seo.md) .ics files per event and per list, public and personal feeds, schema.org JSON-LD with @eventJsonLd and the URL templates behind every link. #### [JSON API](https://roundly-consulting.com/open-source/docs/events-for-laravel/http-api.md) An opt-in JSON API — 49 routes, request bodies, discovery filters and sorts, role-aware resources, reference resources, errors and rate limits. #### [Notifications and reminders](https://roundly-consulting.com/open-source/docs/events-for-laravel/notifications.md) Nine queued, after-commit notices in English and Slovak — recipients and delivery checks, payloads, swapping a notice, silent writes and reminders. #### [Domain events](https://roundly-consulting.com/open-source/docs/events-for-laravel/domain-events.md) 42 after-commit domain events for events, venues, ticket types, RSVPs, holds, payments, check-ins, co-hosts and invitations — payloads and listening. #### [Exceptions](https://roundly-consulting.com/open-source/docs/events-for-laravel/exceptions.md) Every EventsException with its code and HTTP status, the errors the API maps from tags, lifecycle and media-library, and configuration errors. #### [Artisan commands](https://roundly-consulting.com/open-source/docs/events-for-laravel/commands.md) events:install, events:doctor and its checks, events:sweep, events:repair and events:geocode — plus the scheduler lines and the PHP equivalents. #### [Recipes](https://roundly-consulting.com/open-source/docs/events-for-laravel/recipes.md) Guests without accounts, team organizers with teams-for-laravel, custom fields, event discussion, post-event reviews and an overbooking ratio. #### [Testing](https://roundly-consulting.com/open-source/docs/events-for-laravel/testing.md) Events::fake() records every operation and still performs it — every assertion pair, recorded operations, Pest expectations, factories and pitfalls. #### [Requirements](https://roundly-consulting.com/open-source/docs/events-for-laravel/requirements.md) PHP 8.4, Laravel 12 or 13, MySQL 8 or PostgreSQL, the PHP extensions its dependencies need and the Roundly packages it builds on. ## Show your open-source love This package is free and MIT-licensed.
