This update was mainly made to update NexoPOS libraries and to add new feature that is a must of the SaaS module we're building around NexoPOS.

Autoload Module

Now, you can set the module that will always been activated regardless of whether they have been activated or not from the dashboard. While we know this might have serious security consideration, we believe having such module can for example prevent unaware users to mistakenly disable, delete or download a system module that can be created by a developer.

For hacker, it might be an opportunity to install module that the end user cannot control from the dashboard. We however believe, anyone having access to the .env file to edit it for enabling a compromised module, can yet perform more worst operation. Therefore, the security should the be considered on the file access end first.

How It works

You just have to set on the .env file a variable "AUTOLOAD_MODULES" that access modules namespaces separated by a comma.

Not all module are likely to be autoloaded. For security, stability purpose, we only restricted this feature to module not having any dependency. This will prevent situation like an autoloaded module depends on a not autoloaded module. If that not autoloaded module is removed for some reason, the app will crash.

Changelog:

• Added: Autoload for Module
• Updated: dependencies

We're releasing a new update of NexoPOS that brings bug fixes and refactoring. Indeed, we're trying to make NexoPOS easier to use for developper by implementing new ways of interacting with it's internal API. We've also did some change to the core to ensure your so loved Multistore Module is compatible.

Multistore Update

We've been working on making the multistore compatible with NexoPOS 5x. The main issue we've encountered is that since the version 5x, customers are now regular users. This makes customers no longer a not shared resources, but a resource used across the entire the multistores. We've however make store who creates a customer has a full control over him. More accurately, Store A can't see and edit customers of Store B.

This is a small bug fix update that changes how NexoPOS loads assets for modules using modern versions of Vite.

Changelog:

• Updated: changes way NexoPOS loads assets for module.

We're releasing a new update of NexoPOS that comes with small improvements in terms of developer experience, bug fixes and other UX improvements. As the main update here, we've moved from Laravel 10 to Laravel 11. we aim in the long run to use the new Laravel Reverb, for a better lightweight notification.

Stop Propagating Close Event

When multiple popups opened, all were closed when pressing "ESC". Sometimes, even the popup we wanted to keep visible was closed. We've added a new way of handling popups. Now, NexoPOS considers the popup visible as "focused" and other popups and not focused so all keyboard events are directed to the focused popup.

Attribute Supports on Crud Column

If for a crud component, we decide to use all columns, our table will look long and hard to explore. We added an attribute feature to display some columns as a small description of other columns. Here is what it looks like:

On the code, here is how it's defined:

Other Changes:

• removed: deprecated filter
• added: filter to entry actions
• added: support for mariadb database
• Added: new way of building crud column
• Added: propagate close event to popup wrapper
• Added: attribute support per column
• Updated: hide options and checkboxes on ProductUnit.. crud
• Added: method to retrieve crud row raw value
• Added: description support to product history
• Fixed: https://github.com/Blair2004/NexoPOS/issues/1818
• Fixed: null visible when either first_name and last_name are null
• Update UserWidget model and migration
• Add unit property to ProductUnitQuantity model and fix fillable array
• Refactor total_purchase_price calculation in OrdersService.php
• Remove deprecated addAction method in CrudEntry class
• Add ThrottleMiddelware and remove constructor in CrudService
• Update event constructor to include additional data
• Update PHP parser version in ModulesService.php

We're bringing small changes that aim to provide better stability to NexoPOS. From this version, the minimum PHP version you can use is 8.2. Could you make sure to update your PHP version before upgrading. We'll resume from now the compatibility with other premium module. Don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any concerns.

Kind regards.

Nexo Cloud

We're working meanwhile on a cloud solution that manages a server for you. If you have many customers using NexoPOS, that will be a solution for you. This is actually a NexoPOS module that manages your DNS on Cloudflare and your server by configuring and deploying NexoPOS instances (it configures PHP, MySQL, and Nginx for you). Here is a small preview of the dashboard.

Customer Instances

Here your customers can deploy as many instances as you'll allow them.

Cloud Plans

You can configure a cloud plan for your customers here.

Cloud Module

You can set which module is bundled with a cloud plan.
