Installation

Install the package in a Laravel Nova project via Composer:

# Install package
composer require optimistdigital/nova-sortable

Usage

Create migration

Add an order field to the model using Laravel migrations:

// Add order column to the model
Schema::table('some_model', function (Blueprint $table) {
  $table->integer('sort_order');
});

// Set default sort order (just copy ID to sort order)
DB::statement('UPDATE some_model SET sort_order = id');

Implement eloquent-sortable

Implement the Spatie's eloquent-sortable interface and apply the trait:

use Spatie\EloquentSortable\Sortable;
use Spatie\EloquentSortable\SortableTrait;

class SomeModel extends Eloquent implements Sortable
{
  use SortableTrait;

  public $sortable = [
    'order_column_name' => 'sort_order',
    'sort_when_creating' => true,
  ];

  ...
}

Apply HasSortableRows to Nova resource

Apply HasSortableRows trait from this package on the Resource:

use OptimistDigital\NovaSortable\Traits\HasSortableRows;

class MyResource extends Resource
{
  use HasSortableRows;

  ...
}

Sorting on HasMany relationship

NB! The resource can only be sorted on either the Index view or the HasMany list view, but not both!

Sorting on HasMany is simple. Add 'sort_on_has_many' => true to the $sortable array on the model. Like so:

public $sortable = [
  'order_column_name' => 'sort_order',
  'sort_when_creating' => true,
  'sort_on_has_many' => true,
];

Sorting on ManyToMany relationships

Sorting on BelongsToMany and MorphToMany relationships is available, but requires special steps.

See the documentation here: Sorting ManyToMany relationships (w/ pivot table).

Localization

The translation file(s) can be published by using the following publish command:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="OptimistDigital\NovaSortable\ToolServiceProvider" --tag="translations"

You can add your translations to resources/lang/vendor/nova-sortable/ by creating a new translations file with the locale name (ie et.json) and copying the JSON from the existing en.json.
