Nova Json Wrapper
This field allows you to group Nova fields and merge their output into a single JSON column.
Installation
You can install the package via composer:
composer require digital-creative/nova-json-wrapper
Usage
Firstly you will need to update your model to cast the value of your attribute to an array:
class User extends Model
{
protected $casts = [
'options' => 'array'
];
}Then create a JsonWrapper field within your nova resource and use the HasJsonWrapper trait.
use DigitalCreative\JsonWrapper\JsonWrapper;
use DigitalCreative\JsonWrapper\HasJsonWrapper;
class User extends Resource
{
use HasJsonWrapper; // Important!
public function fields(Request $request)
{
//...
JsonWrapper::make('options', [
Text::make('First Name')->rules('required'),
Text::make('Last Name')->rules('required'),
JsonWrapper::make('body_mass', [
Text::make('Weight')->rules('required'),
Text::make('Height')->rules('required'),
])
])
}
}This converts to
{ "first_name": "John", "last_name": "Doe", "body_mass": { "weight": 70, "height": 180 } }and saves to the options column on the database.
Notes
There are no visual indications that the field is wrapped within a json, this is intentional. It was designed to work in condition with Conditional Container allowing to seamlessly create complex data structure and having it all saved in a single json column into your database, here is an full example:
public function fields(Request $request)
{
Select::make('Type')
->options([
1, 2, 3, 4, 5
])
->rules('required'),
ConditionalContainer::make([
JsonWrapper::make('data', [
Text::make('First Name')->rules('required'),
Text::make('Last Name')->rules('required'),
Select::make('Gender')
->options([
'male' => 'Male',
'female' => 'Female'
])
->rules('required'),
ConditionalContainer::make([ JsonWrapper::make('extra', [ ... ]) ])->if('gender === male'),
ConditionalContainer::make([ JsonWrapper::make('extra', [ ... ]) ])->if('gender === female'),
])
])->if('type >= 2'),
