Nova Random String Generation Field

A Laravel Nova field for generating a random string. This can be used for a Text field and for a Password field.

Installation

Install the package into a Laravel application that uses Nova via Composer:

composer require marshmallow/nova-field-string-generator

The field's service provider is auto-discovered, so there is nothing else to register.

Usage

The package ships two fields, both living in the Marshmallow\NovaGenerateString namespace:

GenerateString — extends Nova's Text field.
GeneratePassword — extends Nova's Password field.

Add them to the fields() method of your Nova resource:

use Marshmallow\NovaGenerateString\GenerateString;
use Marshmallow\NovaGenerateString\GeneratePassword;

public function fields(NovaRequest $request)
{
    return [
        GenerateString::make(__('Random string'), 'random_string')
            ->onlyOnForms()
            ->creationRules('required', 'string', 'min:12')
            ->updateRules('nullable', 'string', 'min:12')
            // Specify the length of the generated string.
            ->length(12)
            // Exclude character types from the generated string. Available types:
            // Symbols, Numbers, Uppercase, Lowercase, Similar.
            // Omit this call to include all types.
            ->excludeRules(['Symbols', 'Lowercase', 'Similar']),

        GeneratePassword::make(__('Password'), 'password'),
    ];
}

Because both fields extend their respective Nova base fields (Text and Password), every standard Nova field method (rules(), onlyOnForms(), creationRules(), updateRules(), etc.) is available alongside the generator-specific methods below.

Available methods

Method	Description
`length(int $length)`	Sets the length of the generated string.
`excludeRules(array $rules)`	Excludes character types from the generated string. Accepts any of `Symbols`, `Numbers`, `Uppercase`, `Lowercase`, `Similar`. Omit it to include every type.
