Feature Request: Push To Deploy Button

[rjsamra]

Title:
Add Push To Deploy Button Feature

Description:
I propose adding a "Push To Deploy" feature to the Knackline Laravel Deploy package. This feature would allow developers to include a deployment button directly in their Laravel application's Blade views, enabling anyone with access to trigger a deployment with a single click.

Feature Requirements:

1. Blade Component:

   • Create a Blade component (<x-deploy-button />) that can be easily added to any Blade view.
   • The button should trigger the deployment process when clicked.

2. Security:

   • Ensure the deployment action is secure and only accessible to authorized users. This could be implemented using middleware, role checks, or a signed URL.
   • Optionally, add a confirmation step before initiating the deployment to prevent accidental deployments.

3. AJAX Integration:

   • Use AJAX to handle the deployment request without refreshing the page.
   • Provide real-time feedback on the deployment status, such as a loading spinner, progress updates, and a success/failure message.

4. Customizable Button:

   • Allow users to customize the appearance and text of the button via component attributes.
   • Support for different themes, colors, and icons.

5. Deployment Logs:

   • Display the output/logs of the deployment process in the browser after the deployment is complete.
   • Optionally, store the logs for future reference.

6. Configuration:

   • Provide configuration options to control which environments or branches the "Push To Deploy" button should work with.
   • Ensure the button is only displayed in environments where deployment is permitted (e.g., staging, production).

Use Cases:

• Staging Deployments: Enable non-technical team members to deploy to a staging environment for review.
• Production Deployments: Allow authorized users to quickly push updates to production without needing terminal access.

Benefits:

• User-Friendly: Simplifies the deployment process, especially for non-technical users.
• Time-Saving: Reduces the need for manual deployment commands, speeding up the workflow.
• Flexible: Can be customized and integrated into any Laravel project.

Additional Notes:

• Consider the impact of allowing in-browser deployments and ensure the process is secure and reliable.
• Provide clear documentation for integrating and customizing the deployment button.
