Foundation for the AI chatbot + text generation feature. Phase 1 is infrastructure only: driver plumbing, configuration storage with encrypted API keys, global vs per-company resolution, admin + company UI pages, and an optional installer wizard step. The chat assistant and text-generation WYSIWYG integration come in later phases.
**Driver plumbing (app/Support/Ai/)** — AiDriver abstract, AiDriverFactory, AiException, AiChatResponse DTO, OpenRouterDriver concrete implementation. OpenRouter is the OpenAI-compatible aggregator that unlocks hundreds of models behind one API key and one request shape — ideal as the default v1 driver. Drivers are extensible the same way exchange rate drivers are: the module Registry's generic registerDriver('ai', ...) machinery plus a typed Registry::registerAiDriver() convenience wrapper (shipped in the upstream invoiceshelf/modules package in a paired commit).
**AiConfigurationService** — mirrors MailConfigurationService shape but with one deliberate deviation: API keys are encrypted at the service layer via Crypt::encryptString before persistence. OpenRouter bearer tokens have much bigger blast radius than SMTP passwords. Same settings / company_settings tables, same global-vs-per-company pattern, same use_custom_ai_config override toggle. Resolution order: global ai_enabled must be YES, then the company either overrides via use_custom_ai_config=YES (and can opt out with ai_enabled=NO inside the override) or inherits the global config.
**Controllers** — Admin/Settings/AiConfigurationController (global CRUD + driver list + test connection), Company/Settings/CompanyAiConfigurationController (per-company override + test), Setup/AiConfigurationController (installer wizard step, skippable with explicit ai_enabled=NO). API key is always masked as '********' in GET responses — the frontend submits the placeholder back on save and the backend preserves the stored value.
**Installer wizard** — new optional step 7 'AI' between Mail and Account. Default OFF with a Skip button. MailView.vue now routes to installation.ai instead of installation.account; installation.ai then routes to installation.account. Step order comment updated in routes.ts.
**Admin + Company settings pages** — AdminAiConfigView (no toggle, always global) and AiConfigView (with use_custom_ai_config BaseSwitchSection that auto-saves OFF). Both share AiConfigurationForm which renders the driver selector, API key input with show/hide, driver-specific config_fields (base_url for OpenRouter), and per-role enable toggles with free-text model inputs backed by a datalist of suggested models from driver metadata.
**Bootstrap endpoint** — adds an ai block to the response: { enabled, chat_enabled, text_generation_enabled }. All three are booleans resolved through AiConfigurationService::resolveForCompany(). Never leaks the API key. Frontend feature flags read from bootstrapData.ai to decide whether to show Phase 2/3 UI.
**Bouncer ability** 'manage ai config' added to SettingsPolicy, gated on isSuperAdmin() (same pattern as manage email config, manage pdf config).
**Tests** (22 new) — Unit: AiDriverFactory resolves built-in + Registry-contributed drivers, rejects unknown, merges availableDrivers. AiConfigurationService: encryption round-trip, resolution order (3 cases: global off, inherit global, override with company key, override with opt-out), makeDriver null/instance cases, listDrivers metadata. Feature: admin save + read with api key masking, preserve-on-placeholder behavior, company toggle ON/OFF semantics, bootstrap ai flags reflect resolution, company opt-out path.
372 tests pass (was 350, +22). Pint clean. npm run build clean. Phase 2 (chat assistant + tool calling) and Phase 3 (WYSIWYG text generation popup) are separate follow-up commits — this one is the foundation only.
ModuleInstaller has the same shape as Updater (moved in 7cf72b9f): every method is public static, no constructor, no DI, no instance state. It orchestrates marketplace operations — fetch catalog, download zip, verify checksum, unzip, copy files, run module:migrate/module:enable, dispatch install/enable events — but the orchestration itself is stateless procedural plumbing.
Emitting events and writing to the Module eloquent model doesn't make it a service; plenty of static helpers touch models. The distinguishing factor is stateless-procedural vs DI-injected-workflow, and this is clearly the former.
4 consumers updated: ModulesController, ModuleInstallationController, InstallModuleCommand, and a doc comment in config/invoiceshelf.php. 350 tests still pass.
This leaves app/Services/ with no single-file driver-less subdirs except Mail/Module/Pdf/Storage which have multiple files each. The Module/ subdir in Services is now deleted entirely — the marketplace installer moved out and there were no other files in there.
Updater is a pure static procedural class — all eight public methods (checkForUpdate, download, unzip, copyFiles, deleteFiles, cleanStaleFiles, migrateUpdate, finishUpdate) are static, there's no constructor, no DI, no instance state. It's stateless self-update plumbing, same character as the Setup/ helpers that moved to Support/ in commit 6d1816bd.
Moving it out of Services/ leaves Services/ exclusively for DI-injected classes with real business logic, which is the contract the reorg was aiming for. Update/ now lives next to Setup/ in Support/ where the other install/upgrade-time utilities live.
Only 3 consumers needed touching: UpdateController, UpdateCommand, and a reference in config/invoiceshelf.php's comment. 350 tests still pass.
The per-company Modules management page moves off its own top-level sidebar slot (which sat in the Admin group alongside Members/Reports/Settings) and into a new Module Configuration entry inside Company Settings, alongside Tax Types, Payment Modes, Mail Configuration, etc. That's where every other 'configure how the company behaves' surface lives — the Modules page is a configuration surface, not a primary working area.
The label is deliberately 'Module Configuration' rather than 'Module Settings' because the latter collides with the existing per-module ModuleSettingsModal concept (the modal that opens when a user clicks an installed module's gear icon). Keeping the two names distinct means 'Module Configuration' unambiguously refers to the list of installed modules, and 'Module Settings' continues to mean the per-module schema form.
CompanyModulesIndexView is stripped of its standalone BasePage / BasePageHeader / BaseBreadcrumb wrappers — as a child of SettingsLayoutView it would have rendered a double header — and re-wrapped in BaseSettingCard, matching TaxTypesView and every other settings-child view. The module grid tightens from lg:grid-cols-2 xl:grid-cols-3 down to lg:grid-cols-2 since the settings sidebar eats 240px of horizontal real estate.
Routes consolidate: features/company/modules/routes.ts is deleted; the new settings.modules child route lives inside the settings routes file directly, alongside the rest. Top-level redirects are kept for the legacy /admin/modules and /admin/modules/:slug/settings URLs so existing bookmarks still resolve. ModuleRoutesConfigTest is re-pointed at settings/routes.ts and asserts the settings.modules route is owner-only.
Module-contributed sidebar entries (those registered via Registry::registerMenu()) are NOT moved. Modules that want top-level navigation visibility keep it; only the meta management page moves. This mirrors WordPress/Discourse conventions where plugin pages stay in the main navigation but the 'Plugins' admin screen itself lives under Settings.
Exchange rate providers are now pluggable via the module Registry. The four built-in drivers (currency_converter, currency_freak, currency_layer, open_exchange_rate) move from a static config array into App\\Providers\\DriverRegistryProvider, which calls Registry::registerExchangeRateDriver() for each during app boot with metadata the frontend needs: label (i18n key), website (help-text URL), and config_fields (schema for driver-specific driver_config JSON).
The Currency Converter's server-type selector and dedicated URL field — previously hardcoded in ExchangeRateProviderModal.vue — are now just another config_fields entry with a visible_when rule that shows the URL input only when type=DEDICATED. Any module that wants to ship a custom driver gets the same treatment for free: declare config_fields in the registration, and the host app's modal renders them automatically.
ExchangeRateDriverFactory::make() falls back to Registry::driverMeta() when a name isn't in the local built-in map, and availableDrivers() merges both sources. ConfigController handles the exchange_rate_drivers key specially by mapping Registry::allDrivers('exchange_rate') to enriched option objects, so the config-file route still works for every other key. The static exchange_rate_drivers + currency_converter_servers arrays in config/invoiceshelf.php are deleted.
Unit tests cover the new Registry::register/flushDrivers, the factory merging built-ins with Registry-contributed drivers, and the factory rejecting unknown names. A feature test exercises the end-to-end /api/v1/config?key=exchange_rate_drivers response shape.
NOTE: this commit depends on invoiceshelf/modules package commit e44d951 which adds the Registry driver API. The package needs to be released and pinned in composer.json before a fresh composer install on this commit will work.
Every main_menu entry moves from numeric group (1/2/3) to string-based group + group_label + priority. Groups now carry their own i18n label and child entries are sorted by an explicit priority field instead of config-array order, so module-contributed menu items can slot into any existing group at any position.
BootstrapController merges module-registered menu items into main_menu (previously they lived in a separate module_menu response key) and introduces a user_menu response key for items modules want to place in the avatar dropdown. The global store follows suit: moduleMenu becomes userMenu, menuGroups is a computed that sorts by priority, and hasActiveModules drops out.
New admin Appearance setting page with a single toggle for whether sidebar group labels render — so instances that prefer a compact sidebar can hide the Documents/Administration/Modules headings without losing the grouping itself. CompanyLayout watches route meta and re-bootstraps when the admin-mode flag flips so the sidebar repaints with the right menu on navigation across the admin boundary.
Test suites updated: module menu merging is asserted against main_menu (name: 'module-{slug}') rather than the old module_menu response; HelloWorldIntegrationTest verifies the schema translation path; CompanyModulesIndexTest covers the display_name attachment.
The marketplace client (App\Services\Module\ModuleInstaller) and the updater
(App\Services\Update\Updater) both build their Guzzle base URI from
config('invoiceshelf.base_url') via the App\Traits\SiteApi::getRemote()
helper. The value was hardcoded to 'https://invoiceshelf.com', which made
local development against a self-hosted invoiceshelf/website checkout
impossible without editing the config file by hand.
Wrap it in env('INVOICESHELF_BASE_URL', 'https://invoiceshelf.com') so a
.env entry can repoint both the marketplace and the updater at any host —
e.g. http://invoiceshelf-website.test, http://localhost:8000, or a staging
deployment. The default fallback stays https://invoiceshelf.com so
production behavior is unchanged.
Document the new variable in .env.example, commented out so it has no
effect unless explicitly enabled.
The marketplace and updater are tied to the same base URL by design — a
local dev instance pointed at a local marketplace probably also wants to
test against the local release-API, so they should move together.
The module marketplace browser UI (ModuleIndexView, ModuleDetailView,
ModuleCard, the four-step installer store) was filed under
features/company/modules/ only by historical accident — it's authorized via
the manage modules ability (super-admin-only) and conceptually belongs in the
admin context, not the company context.
- Move features/company/modules/{store.ts, views/ModuleIndexView.vue,
views/ModuleDetailView.vue, components/ModuleCard.vue} to
features/admin/modules/.
- Update hardcoded /admin/modules/... paths in the moved files to
/admin/administration/modules/... so the breadcrumbs and ModuleCard
navigation target the new admin-context routes.
- Tighten the four-step installer's silent catch {} blocks in the moved
store.ts: errors were being swallowed, now they dispatch through the
global notification store instead.
- New features/admin/modules/routes.ts declares admin.modules.index +
admin.modules.view as children of /admin/administration with
meta.isSuperAdmin: true.
- features/admin/{index,routes}.ts re-export and mount the relocated routes.
- config/invoiceshelf.php gains a new AdminModules entry in admin_menu
pointing at /admin/administration/modules with super_admin_only: true.
- The dev-gated navigation.modules entry in main_menu is replaced (not
deleted) with a non-gated entry pointing at the new company-context
Active Modules index page that lands in the next commit. The
ability is set to manage modules so non-owners can't see it.
The new company-context Active Modules index, schema-driven settings page,
and dynamic sidebar group are introduced in subsequent commits.
Both lang/he.json and lang/ur.json shipped as empty Crowdin stubs but never made it into config('invoiceshelf.languages'), so admins could not pick either locale even after the matching font packages (noto-sans-hebrew, noto-naskh-arabic) landed in commit 04952d91. Add the two entries with native names (עברית, اردو) following the existing Svenska / ไทย / Tiếng Việt convention for non-Latin scripts.
Inserted alphabetically by English name — he between Greek and Hindi, ur after Ukrainian. The first PDF render for either locale will trigger ensureFontsForLocale() and synchronously install the corresponding font package; the UI itself stays mostly English until the Crowdin translations catch up, which is the intended trade-off — these locales are useful primarily as language tags for PDF rendering of Hebrew / Arabic-script customer data.

* Convert string references to `::class`
PHP 5.5.9 adds the new static `class` property which provides the fully qualified class name. This is preferred over using strings for class names since the `class` property references are checked by PHP.
* Use Faker methods
Accessing Faker properties was deprecated in Faker 1.14.
* Convert route options to fluent methods
Laravel 8 adopts the tuple syntax for controller actions. Since the old options array is incompatible with this syntax, Shift converted them to use modern, fluent methods.
* Adopt class based routes
* Remove default `app` files
* Shift core files
* Streamline config files
* Set new `ENV` variables
* Default new `bootstrap/app.php`
* Re-register HTTP middleware
* Consolidate service providers
* Re-register service providers
* Re-register routes
* Re-register scheduled commands
* Bump Composer dependencies
* Use `<env>` tags for configuration
`<env>` tags have a lower precedence than system environment variables making it easier to overwrite PHPUnit configuration values in additional environments, such a CI.
Review this blog post for more details on configuration precedence when testing Laravel: https://jasonmccreary.me/articles/laravel-testing-configuration-precedence/
