Installation

1. composer require carlson/nova-link-field

Usage

1. Include the dependency on the Nova Resource use Carlson\NovaLinkField\Link;
2. Add the resource to the Fields array

Link::make('Card Transaction', 'transaction_id')
    ->details([
        'href' => function () {
            return "https://dashboard.stripe.com/payments/{$this->transaction_id}";
        },
        'text' => function () {
            return $this->transaction_id;
        },
        'newTab' => true,
        'class' => 'no-underline dim text-primary font-bold whitespace-no-wrap',
    ]),

The Update view exposes the underlying model data as a text input.

API

The Link field has a custom method details which accepts the following properties (all are required unless otherwise indicated):

1. href: String | Callable
2. text: String | Callable
3. newTab: Boolean | Callable
4. class: String | Callable (optional) - accepts any Tailwind class names

The value of the current field can be retrieved and used in the Link by using a Callable and using {$this->field_name}.
