Nova Items Field

Laravel Nova array items field with sorting, validation & many display options

Installation

composer require dillingham/nova-items-field

Usage

use NovaItemsField\Items;

function fields() {
    return [
        Items::make('Emails'),
    ]
}

and be sure to cast the property as an array on your eloquent model

public $casts = [
    'emails' => 'array'
];

Validation

Use Laravel's built in array validation

Items::make('Emails')->rules([
    'emails.*' => 'email|min:10',
]),

Manually setting the attribute may be needed in some cases.

Items::make('Long Text', 'attribute')->rules([
    'attribute.*' => 'email|min:10',
]),

Array processing

Use the array to perform other actions by making an observer

function saving($user)
{
    foreach($user->emails as $email)
    {
        //
    }
}
