Nova Inline Text

This package lets you edit text fields directly on your resources pages.

Installation

composer require pdmfc/nova-inline-text

Usage

use Pdmfc\NovaFields\InlineText;

//...

public function fields()
{
    return [
        InlineText::make('Name'),
    ];
}

Making it editable

By default, this field behaves like a regular text field. To be able to edit it on the index page, use the inlineOnIndex() method:

public function fields()
{
    return [
        InlineText::make('Name')
            ->inlineOnIndex(),
    ];
}

This method also accepts a closure with the current request if you want to make it editable dynamically:

public function fields()
{
    return [
        InlineText::make('Name')
            ->inlineOnIndex(function (NovaRequest $request) {
                return $request->user()->isAdmin();
            }),
    ];
}

Updating field value

The default trigger to save the value is by pressing the Enter key (keyup.enter). If you wish to use a different event trigger to update the value you can use the saveOn() method that accepts an argument corresponding to a javascript event:

public function fields()
{
    return [
        InlineText::make('Name')
            ->inlineOnIndex()
            ->saveOn('blur'),
    ];
}

Key event modifiers

You can also specify the key event modifier:

public function fields()
{
    return [
        InlineText::make('Name')
            ->inlineOnIndex()
            ->saveOn('keyup.shift'),
    ];
}

Refreshing resource table

When saving the current field value, it will not refresh the table. If you need this functionality, use the refreshOnSaving() method:

public function fields()
{
    return [
        InlineText::make('Name')
            ->inlineOnIndex()
            ->refreshOnSaving(),
    ];
}

⚠️ Caveats

• When updating the field, make sure you add the sometimes validation rule to the rest of the fields that are required:

  Text::make('Email')
      ->rules('required', 'email')
      ->updateRules('sometimes') // Add these method call and validation rule to the fields that are required
