README

Thanks for everyone who used this package and contributed.

I haven't used Nova in many years so I'm unable to maintain this.

I'm so glad to see active forks though!

Nova package for rendering buttons on index, detail and lens views.

Use buttons to trigger backend events, navigate nova routes or visit links.

Installation

composer require dillingham/nova-button

Usage

use NovaButton\Button;

public function fields(Request $request)
{
    return [
        ID::make('ID', 'id')->sortable(),
        Text::make('Name', 'name'),
        Button::make('Notify'),
    ];
}

Backend events

By default, clicking the button will trigger a backend event via ajax.

Default event: NovaButton\Events\ButtonClick

The event will receive the resource model it was triggered from & the key

$event->resource = model
$event->key = "notify"

Adding a custom key

Button::make('Notify', 'notify-some-user')

Adding a custom event

Button::make('Notify')->event('App\Events\NotifyRequested')

You register listeners in your EventServiceProvider

Nova Routes

You can also choose to navigate any of the Nova routes

Button::make('Text')->route('vuejs-route-name', ['id' => 1])
Button::make('Text')->index('App\Nova\User')
Button::make('Text')->detail('App\Nova\User', $this->user_id)
Button::make('Text')->create('App\Nova\User')
Button::make('Text')->edit('App\Nova\User', $this->user_id)
Button::make('Text')->lens('App\Nova\User', 'users-without-confirmation')

You can also enable a resource's filters

Button::make('Text')->index('App\Nova\Order')->withFilters([
    'App\Nova\Filters\UserOrders' => $this->user_id,
    'App\Nova\Filters\OrderStatus' => 'active',
])

Links

Button::make('Text')->link('https://nova.laravel.com')
Button::make('Text')->link('https://nova.laravel.com', '_self')

Visiblity

You will likely want to show or hide buttons depending on model values

Button::make('Activate')->visible($this->is_active == false),
Button::make('Deactivate')->visible($this->is_active == true),

Also field authorization via canSee() & showing / hiding fields hideFromIndex(), etc

Reload

After events are triggered, reload the page.

Button::make('Notify')->reload()

If you click many buttons, reloading will wait for all buttons to finish.

If an error occurs, it will not reload the page.

Confirm

You can require a confirmation for descructive actions

Button::make('Cancel Account')->confirm('Are you sure?'),
Button::make('Cancel Account')->confirm('title', 'content'),

Button state

When using events, you want visual feedback for the end user.

This is especially useful for long running listeners.

Button::make('Remind User')->loadingText('Sending..')->successText('Sent!')

Defaults defined in the nova-button config. Add methods when you want to change for specific resources

Button styles

This package makes use of tailwind-css classes / default: link

Button::make('Confirm')->style('primary')

Each key adds classes from the nova-button config

'primary' => 'btn btn-default btn-primary'

Style config

Publish the nova-button config to add / edit available styles & defaults

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=nova-button -- force

Button classes

You can also add classes manually

Button::make('Refund')->classes('some-class')

Also able to style the following css classes

.nova-button
.nova-button-{resource-name}
.nova-button-success
.nova-button-error
.nova-button-loading

Example

Use lenses with buttons for a very focused user experience

<?php

namespace App\Nova\Lenses;

class UsersWithoutConfirmation extends Lens
{
    public static function query(LensRequest $request, $query)
    {
        return $query
            ->select(['users.id', 'users.name'])
            ->whereNull('email_verified_at');
    }

    public function fields(Request $request)
    {
        return [
            ID::make('ID', 'id'),
            Text::make('Name', 'name'),
            Button::make('Mark As Confirmed'),
        ];
    }
}

<?php

namespace App\Listeners;

class ConfirmUser
{
    public function handle($event)
    {
        if ($event->key == 'mark-as-confirmed') {
            $event->resource->email_verified_at = now();
            $event->resource->save();
        }
    }
}

No key check required when you register an event for this listener

Button::make('Confirm')->event('App\Events\ConfirmClick')
