An enum field for Laravel Nova

Laravel Nova field to add enums to resources. This field uses the BenSampo/laravel-enum package, so make sure to check out the installation instructions there first.

Installation

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

composer require simplesquid/nova-enum-field

Setup

It is strongly recommended that you use Attribute Casting in your models. From the docs at BenSampo/laravel-enum, this can be done like this:

use App\Enums\UserType;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Example extends Model
{
    protected $casts = [
        'user_type' => UserType::class,
    ];
}

Usage

You can use the Enum field in your Nova resource like this:

namespace App\Nova;

use App\Enums\UserType;
use SimpleSquid\Nova\Fields\Enum\Enum;

class Example extends Resource
{
    // ...

    public function fields(Request $request)
    {
        return [
            // ...

            Enum::make('User Type')->attach(UserType::class),

            // ...
        ];
    }
}

Flagged Enums

You can use the FlaggedEnum field in your Nova resource like this (see Flagged/Bitwise Enum setup):

namespace App\Nova;

use App\Enums\UserPermissions;
use SimpleSquid\Nova\Fields\Enum\FlaggedEnum;

class Example extends Resource
{
    // ...

    public function fields(Request $request)
    {
        return [
            // ...

            FlaggedEnum::make('User Permissions')->attach(UserPermissions::class),

            // ...
        ];
    }
}

Filters

If you would like to use the provided Nova Select filter (which is compatible with both the Enum and FlaggedEnum fields), you can include it like this:

namespace App\Nova;

use App\Enums\UserPermissions;
use App\Enums\UserType;
use SimpleSquid\Nova\Fields\Enum\EnumFilter;

class Example extends Resource
{
    // ...

    public function filters(Request $request)
    {
        return [
            new EnumFilter('user_type', UserType::class),
            
            new EnumFilter('user_permissions', UserPermissions::class),
            
            // With optional filter name:
            (new EnumFilter('user_type', UserType::class))
                ->name('Type of user'),
                
             // With optional default value:
            (new EnumFilter('user_type', UserType::class))
                ->default(UserType::Administrator),
        ];
    }
}

Alternatively, you may wish to use the provided Nova Boolean filter (which is also compatible with both the Enum and FlaggedEnum fields):

namespace App\Nova;

use App\Enums\UserPermissions;
use App\Enums\UserType;
use SimpleSquid\Nova\Fields\Enum\EnumBooleanFilter;

class Example extends Resource
{
    // ...

    public function filters(Request $request)
    {
        return [
            new EnumBooleanFilter('user_type', UserType::class),
            
            new EnumBooleanFilter('user_permissions', UserPermissions::class),
            
            // With optional filter name:
            (new EnumBooleanFilter('user_type', UserType::class))
                ->name('Type of user'),
                
            // With optional default values:
            (new EnumBooleanFilter('user_type', UserType::class))
                ->default([
                    UserType::Administrator,
                    UserType::Moderator,
                ]),
            
            // When filtering a FlaggedEnum, it will default to filtering
            // by ANY flags, however you may wish to filter by ALL flags:
            (new EnumBooleanFilter('user_permissions', UserPermissions::class))
                ->filterAllFlags(),
        ];
    }
}
