Laravel Nova Sortable Field

Description

This field adds reordering functionality to your resource's index using the awesome eloquent-sortable package by the great people of Spatie.

This package is a fork of Teatrante/nova-field-sortable, which is a fork of the original package Naxon/nova-field-sortable. It includes improvements to the layout

Requirements

• Nova 4
• spatie/eloquent-sortable (If not already installed, this package will install if for you and all you have to do is follow the installation instructions).

Installation

This package can be installed through Composer.

composer require pixelcreation/nova-field-sortable

Upgrading from v3.x to v4.x

• Instead of the primary key column, you'll need to supply the name of the sort column in the Sortable field.

Usage

1. Follow the usage instructions on the eloquent-sortable repository to make your model sortable.
2. Use the PixelCreation\NovaFieldSortable\Concerns\SortsIndexEntries trait in your Nova Resource.
3. Add a public static property called $defaultSortField to your resource, containing your sorting column (I recommend adding it in your main app/Nova/Resource.php file).
4. Add the PixelCreation\NovaFieldSortable\Sortable field to your Nova Resource fields method, using a label and your sorting column.

Example

<?php

namespace App\Nova;

use Laravel\Nova\Fields\ID;
use Laravel\Nova\Http\Requests\NovaRequest;
use Laravel\Nova\Fields\Text;
use PixelCreation\NovaFieldSortable\Concerns\SortsIndexEntries;
use PixelCreation\NovaFieldSortable\Sortable;

class Page extends Resource
{
    use SortsIndexEntries;
    
    public static $defaultSortField = 'sort_order';
    
    /**
     * Get the fields displayed by the resource.
     *
     * @param  NovaRequest  $request
     * @return array
     */
    public function fields(Request $request)
    {
        return [
            ID::make()->sortable(),
            
            Text::make('Title'),
            
            Sortable::make('Order', 'sort_order')
                ->onlyOnIndex(),
        ];
    }
}
