Laravel Nova Search

This package provides a console command to convert dynamic JS/CSS to static JS/CSS assets.

Requirements

• laravel-mix v6.0+
• php 7.3+
• laravel nova 3.0+

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require akki-io/laravel-nova-assets

Publish the package files:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider 'AkkiIo\LaravelNovaAssets\LaravelNovaAssetsServiceProvider'

This will publish the

• config file config/laravel-nova-assets.php and
• the webpack file webpack.mix.nova.js.

Usage

To create static assets the package provides a simple console command that will do the job for you.

Run

php artisan nova:mix

Once the command is executed you will need to update the laravel nova auth layout auth->layout.blade.php and main layout layout.blade.php to use the compiled assets.

• Copy the auth layout vendor/laravel/nova/resources/views/auth/layout.blade.php to resources/views/vendor/nova/auth/layout.blade.php
• Copy the main layout vendor/laravel/nova/resources/views/layout.blade.php to resources/views/vendor/nova/layout.blade.php

Add manifest files above the </head> tag for both files.

<link rel="manifest" href="/vendor/laravel-nova-assets/mix-manifest.json">

Replace these following section in the newly copied files.

Original Content

// Tool Styles
@foreach(\Laravel\Nova\Nova::availableStyles(....
    ....
@endforeach

New Content

<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ mix('tool-styles.css', 'vendor/laravel-nova-assets') }}">

Original Content

<!-- Theme Styles -->
@foreach(\Laravel\Nova\Nova::themeStyles() ...)
    ....
@endforeach

New Content

<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ mix('theme-styles.css', 'vendor/laravel-nova-assets') }}">

Original Content

<!-- Tool Scripts -->
@foreach (\Laravel\Nova\Nova::availableScripts(request()) ...)
.....
@endforeach

New Content

<script src="{{ mix('tool-scripts.js', 'vendor/laravel-nova-assets') }}"></script>

If you are using custom scripts and styles, add the following sections to these files accordingly.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ mix('custom-styles.css', 'vendor/laravel-nova-assets') }}">

<script src="{{ mix('custom-scripts.js', 'vendor/laravel-nova-assets') }}"></script>

For copyright reason I cannot include those files in this project.

Adding custom CSS and JSS

You can specify you custom CSS/JS in the config file laravel-nova-assets.php under the styles and scripts section.

Running the command on a CI/CD

You will need to create a dummy user if you are using this command to generate assets. Unfortunately, I was not able to find a work around for this.
