Installation

Install this package with composer

composer require bernhardh/nova-icon-select

You need to include the styles of the icon set to nova by your own. A common way to do this is to add it to your resources/views/vendor/nova/partials/meta.blade.php.

For FontAwesome you can do this like this:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/5.15.1/css/all.min.css" integrity="sha512-+4zCK9k+qNFUR5X+cKL9EIR+ZOhtIloNl9GIKS57V1MyNsYpYcUrUeQc9vNfzsWfV28IaLL3i96P9sdNyeRssA==" crossorigin="anonymous" />

Of course, you can also host the icon-set on your server or even use completly different icons.

Usage

Like every other field, you can use the field inside your Nova Resource. You will need to provide an IconProvider. Either use the build in FontAwesomeIconProvider or use an instance of IconProvider or create your own.

use Bernhardh\NovaIconSelect\NovaIconSelect;

NovaIconSelect::make("Icon", "icon")
    ->setIconProvider(/* Instance or classname of an IconProvider */);

Using with FontAwesome 5 Free

For FontAwesome 5 Free, there is already a build in Provider. Use it like this:

use Bernhardh\NovaIconSelect\NovaIconSelect;
use Bernhardh\NovaIconSelect\IconProviders\FontAwesomeIconProvider;

NovaIconSelect::make("Icon")
    ->setIconProvider(FontAwesomeIconProvider::class);

If you want to change the labels, remove icons or add search tags, you can publish the config:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Bernhardh\NovaIconSelect\FieldServiceProvider"

and now you can modify the config/nova-icon-select/fontawesome.php file as you like.

Using with your own icon sets

To use your own icon set, you can either create your own IconProvider class and extend it from Bernhardh\NovaIconSelect\IconProvider or you can use Bernhardh\NovaIconSelect\IconProvider as an instance and add your options directly.

Use instance and setOptions

use Bernhardh\NovaIconSelect\NovaIconSelect;
use Bernhardh\NovaIconSelect\IconProvider;

NovaIconSelect::make("Icon")
    ->setIconProvider(IconProvider::make()->setOptions([
        [
            'label' => 'Custom icon 1',
            'value' => 'my-icons-1',
            'search' => ['foo']
        ],
        [
            'label' => 'Custom icon 2',
            'value' => 'my-icons-2',
        ],
        [
            'label' => 'Custom icon 2',
            'value' => 'my-icons-3',
            'search' => ['foo', 'bar']
        ],
    ]));

Or you can of course also move the options to a config file and get it with config()

use Bernhardh\NovaIconSelect\NovaIconSelect;
use Bernhardh\NovaIconSelect\IconProvider;

NovaIconSelect::make("Icon", "icon")
    ->setIconProvider(
        IconProvider::make()->setOptions(config("iconset"))
    );

Use your own class

use Bernhardh\NovaIconSelect\IconProvider;

class MyCustomIconProvider extends IconProvider {
    
    public function __construct() {
        $this->setOptions([
            [
                'label' => 'Custom icon 1',
                'value' => 'my-icons-1',
                'search' => ['foo']
            ],
            [
                'label' => 'Custom icon 2',
                'value' => 'my-icons-2',
            ],
            [
                'label' => 'Custom icon 2',
                'value' => 'my-icons-3',
                'search' => ['foo', 'bar']
            ],
        ]);
    }
}

Now you can use it

use Bernhardh\NovaIconSelect\NovaIconSelect;

NovaIconSelect::make("Icon")
    ->setIconProvider(MyCustomIconProvider::class);

Options

Example:

[
    'label' => 'Custom icon 1',
    'value' => 'my-icons-1',
    'search' => ['foo', 'bar']
]

Each option consist of these fields:

• label: Required string. This is the value which will be shown in nova and this value is used in the search (checks if label contains search string)
• value: Required string. This is the actual icon class or identifier which will be stored to the database. In case of FontAwesome, this would be something like fas fa-edit
• search:: Optional string array. This array is used in the search (checks if one of the strings start with the search string)
• unicode: Optional string. Currently not used

Of course you can move the options to a config file as I did with the FontAwesomeIconProvider
