nova-autofill

nova-autofill is a Laravel Nova package that allows for automatic filling of Nova FormFields.

Installation

composer require Miljoen/nova-autofill

Example usage for fresh Laravel project.

1. Create a new Laravel project

2. Install Nova

3. Install the package using

   composer require Miljoen/nova-autofill

4. Add use AutofillTrait; to the /app/User.php Model.

5. Implement the filterKey() and autofillModels() methods.

   For example:

   function filterKey(): string
   {
       return 'email';
   }
   
   function autofillModels(): \Illuminate\Support\Collection
   {
       return collect([
           new \App\User(['name' => 'cedric', 'email' => 'cedric@cedric.cedric', 'password' => \Illuminate\Support\Facades\Hash::make('cedric')]),
           new \App\User(['name' => 'yoeri', 'email' => 'yoeri@yoeri.yoeri', 'password' => \Illuminate\Support\Facades\Hash::make('yoeri')])
       ]);
   }
   

6. Add Autofill::make('Nova Autofill', 'id')->options( \App\User::filterKey(), \App\User::autofillModels()),

   to the return value of the fields() function in /app/Nova/User.php

7. Go to the .../nova/resources/users/new route in your browser to test the package

The /app/User.php model should look like this:

<?php

namespace App;

use AutofillTrait;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\MustVerifyEmail;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;

class User extends Authenticatable
{
    use Notifiable;
    use AutofillTrait;

    /**
     * The attributes that are mass assignable.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $fillable = [
        'name', 'email', 'password',
    ];

    /**
     * The attributes that should be hidden for arrays.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $hidden = [
        'password', 'remember_token',
    ];

    /**
     * The attributes that should be cast to native types.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $casts = [
        'email_verified_at' => 'datetime',
    ];

    static function filterKey(): string
    {
        return 'email';
    }

    static function autofillModels(): \Illuminate\Support\Collection
    {
        return collect([
            new \App\User(['name' => 'cedric', 'email' => 'cedric@cedric.cedric', 'password' => \Illuminate\Support\Facades\Hash::make('cedric')]),
            new \App\User(['name' => 'yoeri', 'email' => 'yoeri@yoeri.yoeri', 'password' => \Illuminate\Support\Facades\Hash::make('yoeri')])
        ]);
    }
}

The /app/nova/User.php fields() function should look like this:

    /**
     * Get the fields displayed by the resource.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
     * @return array
     */
    public function fields(Request $request)
    {
        return [

            Autofill::make('Nova Autofill', 'id')->options(
                \App\User::filterKey(),
                \App\User::autofillModels()
            ),

            Gravatar::make()->maxWidth(50),

            Text::make('Name')
                ->sortable()
                ->rules('required', 'max:255'),

            Text::make('Email')
                ->sortable()
                ->rules('required', 'email', 'max:254')
                ->creationRules('unique:users,email')
                ->updateRules('unique:users,email,{{resourceId}}'),

            Password::make('Password')
                ->onlyOnForms()
                ->creationRules('required', 'string', 'min:8')
                ->updateRules('nullable', 'string', 'min:8'),
        ];
    }
