            /* other tools */
            \Visanduma\NovaSettings\NovaSettings::make(),

        ];

Adding fields is the same as in Nova Resource

class Contact extends NovaSettingsMum

{

    public $icon = 'phone';


    public function fields()

    {

        return [

            Text::make('Name')->rules('required'),

            Text::make('Address')->rules('required'),

            Text::make('City')->rules('required'),

            Select::make('Province')->options([
                'NC' => 'North Central',
                'N' => 'Northern',
            ]),

            Country::make('Country')->rules('required'),

            Panel::make('Home', [

                Text::make('Contact name'),

                Text::make('Phone'),

            ])->help('Update you home contacts'),

        ];

    }
}

💠 Registering settings

All settings class in the default path are automatically registered. If you are going to use a different path, please configure it in nova-settings.php

If you want to register settings class manually, use NovaSettings::register method in the service provider

namespace App\Nova\Settings;

public function boot()

{
        NovaSettings::register([
            Contact::class,
        ]);
}

💠 Customizing the settings class

You can customize settings class as per your needs

Customizing settings menu icon. you can use any Heroicons

public $icon = 'bell';

Customizing section label

 public function label():string

 {

    return 'User contacts';

 }

Customizing uriKey. uriKey is used when saving/retrieving the settings

 public function uriKey(): string

 {
    return 'user-contacts';
 }

💠 Model settings vs Global settings

There are two type of settings. Model settings & Global Settings. Model settings is always bound to an entity (Auth user by default) while global settings are not bound to any entity

You can easily configure the settings type with global property in the settings class

    protected bool $global = false;

if you want use another Model rather than User Model , just override the getModel() method on settings class

protected function getModel()
{
    return Auth::user(); // default model is Auth User
}

💠 Retrieving the settings

use Visanduma\NovaSettings\NovaSettings;

// getting single value
NovaSettings::get('contact.name', 'default value');

nova_settings('contact.name','default value');

// getting whole settings array
NovaSettings::get('contact');

nova_settings('contact');

// use different Model instead Auth User
NovaSettings::get('contact.name', 'default value', Admin::find(3));

nova_settings('contact.name','default value', Admin::find(3));


// getting global settings
NovaSettings::global('system.email');

NovaSettings::global('system');

nova_settings_global('system.phone'),

💠 Transforming inputs

If you need to customize user-submitted form data, override the following method in the settings class. This method will receive form data array as its argument

protected function transformInputs(array $inputs): array

{
    // do your modifications

    return $inputs;
}

💠 Hooks

protected function afterSaved(NovaRequest $request)

{
        // this method will be called after the form is saved
}
