Installation Steps

Step 1: Add Button to POS Header

Edit resources/views/layouts/partials/header-pos.blade.php

Find the calculator button and add the product history button after it:

<button type="button" id="product_history_btn" title="{{ __('lang_v1.product_history') }}"
    class="tw-shadow-[rgba(17,_17,_26,_0.1)_0px_0px_16px] tw-bg-white hover:tw-bg-white/60 tw-cursor-pointer tw-border-2 tw-flex tw-items-center tw-justify-center tw-rounded-md md:tw-w-8 tw-w-auto tw-h-8 tw-text-gray-600 pull-right"
    data-toggle="modal" data-target="#product_history_modal">
    <strong class="!tw-m-3">
        <i class="fas fa-history fa-lg tw-text-[#9333EA] !tw-text-sm" aria-hidden="true"></i>
        <span class="tw-inline md:tw-hidden">{{ __('lang_v1.product_history') }}</span>
    </strong>
</button>

Step 2: Create Modal View

Create new file resources/views/sale_pos/partials/product_history_modal.blade.php

Copy the content from: product_history_modal.blade.php

Step 3: Include Modal in POS Pages

Edit resources/views/sale_pos/create.blade.php

Find @include('sale_pos.partials.weighing_scale_modal') and add after it:

@include('sale_pos.partials.product_history_modal')

Edit resources/views/sale_pos/edit.blade.php

Add the same include after @include('sale_pos.partials.weighing_scale_modal'):

@include('sale_pos.partials.product_history_modal')

Step 4: Add Controller Method

Edit app/Http/Controllers/SellPosController.php

Add the getProductHistory method before the closing brace of the class.

Copy the content from: SellPosController_getProductHistory.php

Step 5: Add Route

Edit routes/web.php

Find the line:

Route::get('/sells/pos/get-featured-products/{location_id}', [SellPosController::class, 'getFeaturedProducts']);

Add after it:

Route::get('/sells/pos/get-product-history', [SellPosController::class, 'getProductHistory']);

Step 6: Add JavaScript

Edit public/js/pos.js

Add the JavaScript code at the end of the file.

Copy the content from: pos_product_history.js
