            $table->id();

class Media extends Resource
{
    public static string $model = MediaModel::class;

    public function fields(Request $request): array
    {
        return [
            ID::make()->sortable(),

            Video::make(trans('Video'), 'video', 'media')
                ->rules('file', 'max:150000', 'mimes:mp4', 'mimetypes:video/mp4')
                ->creationRules('required')
                ->updateRules('nullable'),

Usage with Larupload

1- Install Larupload using this documentation

2- Add Larupload columns to your table

use Mostafaznv\Larupload\LaruploadEnum;

class CreateMediaTable extends Migration
{
    public function up()
    {
        Schema::create('media', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->id();
            $table->upload('video', LaruploadEnum::LIGHT_MODE);
            $table->timestamps();
        });
    }
}

3- Add larupload trait to your model

use Mostafaznv\Larupload\Storage\Attachment;
use Mostafaznv\Larupload\Traits\Larupload;
use Mostafaznv\Larupload\LaruploadEnum;

class Media extends Model
{
    use Larupload;


    /**
     * Define Upload Entities
     *
     * @return array
     * @throws Exception
     */
    public function attachments(): array
    {
        return [
            Attachment::make('video', LaruploadEnum::LIGHT_MODE)
                ->namingMethod(LaruploadEnum::HASH_FILE_NAMING_METHOD)
                ->coverStyle(852, 480, LaruploadEnum::AUTO_STYLE_MODE)
        ];
    }
}

4- Add NovaVideo field to your Resource

use Mostafaznv\NovaVideo\Video;

class Media extends Resource
{
    public static string $model = MediaModel::class;

    public function fields(Request $request): array
    {
        return [
            ID::make()->sortable(),

            Video::make(trans('Video'), 'videos')
                ->rules('file', 'max:150000', 'mimes:mp4', 'mimetypes:video/mp4')
                ->storeWithLarupload('video')
                ->creationRules('required')
                ->updateRules('nullable'),
        ];
    }
}

Note: When you have defined a larupload attachment entity in your model, you can't use the name of that entity for your nova fields. as you can see in above code, the second argument of make function is videos, not video.

Note: Larupload has its own disk, so the third argument of make function (disk) is not used when you are using larupload to handle upload process.

Get Video Metadata (Larupload)

You can print extracted metadata from videos. this feature only works with larupload

<?php
use Mostafaznv\NovaVideo\Video;
use Mostafaznv\NovaVideo\VideoMeta;

class Media extends Resource
{
    public static string $model = MediaModel::class;

    public function fields(Request $request): array
    {
        return [
            ID::make()->sortable(),
            Video::make(trans('Video'), 'videos')->storeWithLarupload('video'),

            // print all metadata with this function
            
            ...VideoMeta::make('video')->all(),

            // or print them by their function
            
            /*VideoMeta::make('video')->fileName(),
            VideoMeta::make('video')->size(),
            VideoMeta::make('video')->mimeType(),
            VideoMeta::make('video')->width(),
            VideoMeta::make('video')->height(),
            VideoMeta::make('video')->duration(),
            VideoMeta::make('video')->format(),*/

        ];
    }
}

Nova Field Notable Methods

Name	Arguments	description
storeWithLarupload	string (required) (attachment entity name)	handle whole upload process larupload
prunable	boolean	The prunable method will instruct Nova to delete the underlying file from storage when the associated model is deleted from the database. Note: If you are using larupload, you have to keep in mind that larupload will delete files automatically after each delete. to control it, take a look at the larupload documentation and read about preserve file property
make	label (field's label), field name, disk	Label: Defines a label for file field Field Name: Defines the name of <input type='file' /> - without larupload: should be your file column's name - with larupload: when you have defined a larupload attachment entity in your model, you can't use the name of that entity for this argument. use whatever you want, but not the entity's name Disk: name of your preferred disk in config/filesystems.php file. Note: Larupload has its own disk, so this argument is not used when you are using larupload to handle upload process. check larupload documentation
