Simple Usage

  use Armincms\Fields\BelongsToMany;  
  

  
  /**
   * Get the fields displayed by the resource.
   *
   * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
   * @return array
   */
  public function fields(Request $request)
  {
    return [
      BelongsToMany::make(__("Label"), 'relationName', RelatedResource::class)
          ->fields(function() {
              return [
                  Text::make('Price')
                          ->rules('required', 'numeric'),   
              ];
          })
          ->pivots(),
    ];
  }

Searching

To search relation value instead of select it; you can use the searchable method on the field.

Pivots

For customizing the pivot columns when attaching a resource you can use the pivots method of the field. then define your custom pivot fields with the fields method. now, when attaching a resource; a Modal that contains the pivot fields will be displayed to you.

  use Armincms\Fields\BelongsToMany;  
  

  
  /**
   * Get the fields displayed by the resource.
   *
   * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
   * @return array
   */
  public function fields(Request $request)
  {
    return [
      BelongsToMany::make(__("Label"), 'relationName', RelatedResource::class)
          ->fields(function() {
              return [
                  Text::make('Price')
                          ->rules('required', 'numeric'),   
              ];
          })
          ->pivots(),
    ];
  }

Duplicate Attachment

You can use the duplicate feature for repetitively attach a resource to another resource. follow the example:

  use Armincms\Fields\BelongsToMany;  
  

  
  /**
   * Get the fields displayed by the resource.
   *
   * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
   * @return array
   */
  public function fields(Request $request)
  {
    return [
      BelongsToMany::make(__("Label"), 'relationName', RelatedResource::class)
          ->fields(function() {
              return [
                  Text::make('Price')
                          ->rules('required', 'numeric'),   
              ];
          })
          ->duplicate(),
    ];
  }

Polymorphic Relation

Using for the polymorphic relationships is like non-polymorphic. follow the example:

  use Armincms\Fields\MorphToMany;  
  

  
  /**
   * Get the fields displayed by the resource.
   *
   * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
   * @return array
   */
  public function fields(Request $request)
  {
    return [
      MorphToMany::make(__("Label"), 'relationName', RelatedResource::class)
          ->fields(function() {
              return [
                  Text::make('Price')
                          ->rules('required', 'numeric'),   
              ];
          })
          ->duplicate()
          ->pivots(),
    ];
  }

or

  use Armincms\Fields\MorphedByMany;  
  

  
  /**
   * Get the fields displayed by the resource.
   *
   * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
   * @return array
   */
  public function fields(Request $request)
  {
    return [
      MorphedByMany::make(__("Label"), 'relationName', RelatedResource::class)
          ->fields(function() {
              return [
                  Text::make('Price')
                          ->rules('required', 'numeric'),   
              ];
          })
          ->duplicate()
          ->pivots(),
    ];
  }

Fill Using

You can use fillUsing to change the pivot-columns values; Then you need to return an associative array that matches your pivot table. Be careful; the "fillUsing" method applies to each attachment. see the following example:

  ->fillUsing(function($pivots) {
      if(isset($pivots['options']) && is_array($pivots['options'])) {
          $pivots['options'] = json_encode($pivots['options']);
      }

      return $pivots;
  }),
