Laravel Nova ICNDB Package

This packages uses the ICNDB Api to show the random joke on a card on Laravel Nova Dashboard.

Here's how the card will look like on a dashboard.

Installation

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

composer require swapnilsarwe/nova-icndb-card

As a next step you will have to register the card with your Nova App. You can achieve this by adding the package in the cards method of the NovaServiceProvider.

// in app/Providers/NovaServiceProvider.php

public function cards()
{
    return [
        // ...
        new \Swapnilsarwe\NovaIcndbCard\NovaIcndbCard,
    ];
}

Configuration

You can publish the config using the following command

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Swapnilsarwe\NovaIcndbCard\CardServiceProvider"

if for some reason new options are added in config are not visible - do the following

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Swapnilsarwe\NovaIcndbCard\CardServiceProvider" --force

Custom Names in jokes

You can now use your own name in the joke by updating the following values in the icndb-config.php in config folder

...
'name_to_use' => [
    'first_name' => 'Chuck', // type in your own first name
    'last_name' => 'Norris', // type in your own last name
],
...

Also you can configure the category from which you dont want to display jokes on the dashboard.

The complete list of categories can be checked out here

http://api.icndb.com/categories

By default all jokes marked as explicit are excluded. You can update the config as per your need.

...
'excluded_categories' => [ 
    // jokes belonging to following categories will not be shown
    'explicit',
],
...
