Description

This package extends Spatie's Laravel Package Tools to provide Nova-specific functionality for package development. It inherits all the features from the base package while adding support for Nova resources, assets, routes, event listeners and Nova::serving callbacks.

Installation

You can install the package in to a Laravel app that uses Nova via composer:

composer require opscale-co/nova-package-tools

Usage

Getting Started

In your Nova package, you should let your service provider extend Opscale\NovaPackageTools\NovaPackageServiceProvider:

use Opscale\NovaPackageTools\NovaPackageServiceProvider;
use Spatie\LaravelPackageTools\Package;

class YourNovaPackageServiceProvider extends NovaPackageServiceProvider
{
    public function configurePackage(Package $package): void
    {
        $package
            ->name('your-nova-package')
            ->hasConfigFile()
            ->hasViews()
            ->hasMigration('create_your_package_tables')
            ->hasCommand(YourPackageCommand::class)
            // Nova-specific features are now directly available
            ->hasResource(YourResource::class)
            ->hasResources([
                UserResource::class,
                PostResource::class,
            ])
            ->hasNovaAssets('your-nova-package', __DIR__.'/../dist')
            ->hasNovaApiRoute(__DIR__.'/../routes/api.php', 'your-nova-package')
            ->hasNovaPageRoute(__DIR__.'/../routes/nova.php', '/your-nova-package')
            ->hasListener(SomeEvent::class, SomeListener::class)
            ->servingNova(function () {
                // Register fields, tools, dashboards, etc.
            });
    }
}

Nova Resources

The main addition this package provides is the ability to register Nova resources with your package.

Registering a Single Resource

You can register a single Nova resource using the hasResource method:

use App\Nova\User;

$package
    ->name('your-nova-package')
    ->hasResource(User::class);

Registering Multiple Resources

If your package provides multiple Nova resources, you can register them all at once using hasResources:

use App\Nova\User;
use App\Nova\Post;
use App\Nova\Comment;

$package
    ->name('your-nova-package')
    ->hasResources([
        User::class,
        Post::class,
        Comment::class,
    ]);

You can also pass multiple resources as separate arguments:

$package
    ->name('your-nova-package')
    ->hasResources(User::class, Post::class, Comment::class);

Nova Assets

Register the JavaScript and CSS assets that ship with your Nova tool or field. Assets are published automatically and registered with Nova::script() / Nova::style() inside Nova::serving().

$package
    ->name('your-nova-package')
    // Register a single script or style:
    ->hasNovaScript('your-nova-package', __DIR__.'/../dist/js/tool.js')
    ->hasNovaStyle('your-nova-package', __DIR__.'/../dist/css/tool.css');

For the typical Nova layout (a dist/ directory containing js/ and css/ folders), use hasNovaAssets() to register both at once:

$package
    ->name('your-nova-package')
    // For a Nova tool (dist/js/tool.js + dist/css/tool.css):
    ->hasNovaAssets('your-nova-package', __DIR__.'/../dist', 'tool');

$package
    ->name('your-nova-field')
    // For a Nova field (dist/js/field.js + dist/css/field.css):
    ->hasNovaAssets('your-nova-field', __DIR__.'/../dist', 'field');

Nova Routes

Register route files that should be loaded with Nova's middleware stack.

Use hasNovaApiRoute() for XHR endpoints called from your Nova tool's Vue components — these are mounted under nova-vendor/{prefix}:

$package
    ->name('your-nova-package')
    ->hasNovaApiRoute(__DIR__.'/../routes/api.php', 'your-nova-package');

Use hasNovaPageRoute() for full Nova pages that should render with the standard Nova layout:

$package
    ->name('your-nova-package')
    ->hasNovaPageRoute(__DIR__.'/../routes/nova.php', '/your-nova-package');

Both methods accept an optional middleware list as the third argument. When omitted, sensible Nova defaults are applied (['nova', Authorize::class] for API routes and ['nova', Authenticate::class, Authorize::class] for page routes).

$package
    ->hasNovaApiRoute(
        __DIR__.'/../routes/api.php',
        'your-nova-package',
        ['nova', Authorize::class, 'custom-middleware']
    );

Event Listeners

Register event listeners for your package without having to wire them up manually in a service provider.

use App\Events\OrderShipped;
use App\Listeners\SendShipmentNotification;

$package
    ->name('your-nova-package')
    // Register a single event listener:
    ->hasListener(OrderShipped::class, SendShipmentNotification::class);

Listeners may be class names, [Class::class, 'method'] arrays, or closures. You can also register multiple listeners at once:

$package
    ->name('your-nova-package')
    ->hasListeners([
        OrderShipped::class => SendShipmentNotification::class,
        OrderCancelled::class => [NotifyTeam::class, 'handle'],
    ]);

Serving Callbacks

Register callbacks that should run inside Nova::serving(). This is the right place to register fields, tools, dashboards, or any other Nova-aware code that needs Nova to be booted first.

use Laravel\Nova\Nova;

$package
    ->name('your-nova-package')
    ->servingNova(function () {
        Nova::tools([
            new YourPackageTool(),
        ]);
    });

You can call servingNova() multiple times to register additional callbacks.
