Laravel Nova Better Lens, improve Nova Lenses Behaviours
// in app/Nova/Resource.php
use Lupennat\BetterLens\ResolvesBetterLenses;
class User extends Resource
{
use ResolvesBetterLenses;
public function lenses(NovaRequest $request)
{
return [
new Lenses\MostValuableUsers,
];
}
}Include trait on Lens.
use Lupennat\BetterLens\BetterLens;
class MostValuableUsers extends Lens
{
use BetterLens;
}Better Lens provide the ability to define authorization for lens. You can override parent resource methods using standard laravel authorization methods.
use Lupennat\BetterLens\BetterLens;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
class MostValuableUsers extends Lens
{
use BetterLens;
public function authorizedToView(Request $request)
{
return false;
}
}By Default Nova Lens does not provide the ability to Create/Attach resource, to mantain compatibility authorizedToCreate will work only if lens will be loaded with many* Fields or if the method is explicitly defined in the lens.
Better Lens provide the ability to exclude a lens from parent resource toolbar list by the static method hideFromToolbar (by default is false).
use Lupennat\BetterLens\BetterLens;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
class MostValuableUsers extends Lens
{
use BetterLens;
/**
* Hide lens from resource toolbar.
*
* @return bool
*/
public static function hideFromToolbar() {
return true;
}
}Better Lens provide the ability to make lens Viewable only as related resource.
By default all lens on Nova can be linked on Menu and can be loaded as a standalone index resource. With static method withRelated, you can override default behaviour and prevent lens to be loaded without a viaResource request (by default is empty array).
use Lupennat\BetterLens\BetterLens;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
class MostValuableUsers extends Lens
{
use BetterLens;
/**
* Load lens only if viaResource request match resources.
*
* @return array<int, class-string<\Laravel\Nova\Resource>>
*/
public static function withRelated() {
return [Post::class, Video::class];
}
}Better Lens provide the ability to define perPage options for lens. Using static methods perPageViaRelationship and perPageOptions you can override parent resource perPage options (by default use parent resource options).
use Lupennat\BetterLens\BetterLens;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
class MostValuableUsers extends Lens
{
use BetterLens;
/**
* The number of resources to show per page via relationships.
*
* @return int
*/
public static function perPageViaRelationship()
{
return 5;
}
/**
* The pagination per-page options configured for this resource.
*
* @return array<int, int>
*/
public static function perPageOptions()
{
return [10, 20, 30];
}
}you can also choose to show pagination filter when lens are loaded as relation via static showPaginationViaRelationship method (by default is false).
use Lupennat\BetterLens\BetterLens;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
class MostValuableUsers extends Lens
{
use BetterLens;
/**
* Show pagination filter when via relationship.
*
* @return bool
*/
public static function showPaginationViaRelationship()
{
return true;
}
}Better Lens provide the ability to manipulate the collection of models returned by the query, you can override the static method decorateCollection and change the collection before it will be used to serialization (by default it return the original collection).
Returned Collection should always return a Collection of Eloquent models, returning other types can generate runtime errors.
use Lupennat\BetterLens\BetterLens;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
class MostValuableUsers extends Lens
{
use BetterLens;
/**
* Decorate collection before returning data.
*
* @param \Illuminate\Support\Collection $models
*
* @return \Illuminate\Support\Collection
*/
public static function decorateCollection(LensRequest $request, $models)
{
// do stuff ...
return $models;
}
}Better Lens provide the ability to define extra parameters for view and edit url. You can define a list of parameter => value using static method resourceLinkParameters (by Default is empty array).
/**
* Url Extra Parameters.
*
* @param \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model $model
*
* @return array<string,string>
*/
public static function resourceLinkParameters($model, LensRequest $request)
{
return [
'name' => $model->name
];
}Better Lens provide the ability to define extra parameters for creation url. You can define a list of parameter => value using static method createLinkParameters (by Default is empty array).
/**
* Creation Url Extra Parameters.
*
* @return array<string,string>
*/
public static function createLinkParameters(NovaRequest $request)
{
return [
'param' => 'value'
];
}Better Lens provide the ability to override default Breadcrumbs for Lens pages using method breadcrumbs (by Default Nova Lens page breadcrumbs are loaded).
/**
* Page Breadcrumbs.
*
* @return \Laravel\Nova\Menu\Breadcrumbs
*/
public function breadcrumbs(LensRequest $request)
{
return Breadcrumbs::make([]);
}Better Lens automatically enable a new method lens for all Many Relationship Fields:
- BelongsToMany
- HasMany
- HasManyThrough
- MorphedByMany
- MorphMany
- MorphToMany
many relationship will load the lens view instead of the main resource.
use Laravel\Nova\Fields\HasMany;
use Laravel\Nova\Http\Requests\NovaRequest;
class User extends Resource
{
public function fields(Request $request)
{
return [
HasMany::make('User Post', 'posts', Post::class)->lens(MostValuablePosts::class)
];
}
}Better Lens provide a new field Lens that can be used to load a resource lens without a "real many relationship".
By the field Lens it is possible to create a related table without creating a Custom ResourceTool.
We want to load a table with all translation key and the related translation value for current website.
The table translation_keys does not have a real relation with the website resource and only contains all the translation keys. The table translations instead contains both the relation with key and website.
We don't want to use directly the translations table because we will lost the key not translated for the current website, we need to start from translation_keys table and load the website value from the translations table if present.
use Laravel\Nova\Http\Requests\NovaRequest;
use Lupennat\BetterLens\Fields\Lens;
class Website extends Resource
{
public function fields(Request $request)
{
return [
Lens::make(__('Translations'), TranslationKey::class, TranslationKeyForWebsite::class)->collapsedByDefault(),
];
}
}use Lupennat\BetterLens\BetterLens;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Laravel\Nova\Fields\Text;
class TranslationKeyForWebsite extends Lens
{
use BetterLens;
public function fields(Request $request)
{
return [
Text::make(__('key'), 'key'),
Text::make(__('Value'), 'value')
];
}
/**
* Get the query builder / paginator for the table.
*
* @param \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Builder $query
*
* @return mixed
*/
public static function query(LensRequest $request, $query)
{
return $request->withOrdering($request->withFilters(
$query->addSelect([
'value' => Translation::whereColumn('translation_keys.id', 'translation.translation_key_id')
->where('translation.website_id', $request->viaResourceId)
])
));
}
}
