Nova Items Field

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

composer require dillingham/nova-items-field

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'
];

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',
]),

Use the array to perform other actions by making an observer

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

Here's a brief walkthrough to customize the vue item - view

function	description	default
`->max(number)`	limit number of items allowed	false
`->draggable()`	turn on drag/drop sorting	false
`->fullWidth()`	increase the width of field area	false
`->maxHeight(pixel)`	limit the height of the list	false
`->listFirst()`	move add new to the bottom	false
`->inputType(text)`	text, date, etc	"text"
`->placeholder($value)`	the new item input text	"Add a new item"
`->deleteButtonValue($value)`	value for delete button	"x"
`->createButtonValue($value)`	value for create button	"Add"
`->hideCreateButton()`	hide the "add" button	false
