Installation
------------

[](#installation)

You can install the package in to a Laravel app that uses [Nova](https://nova.laravel.com) via composer:

```
composer require anaseqal/nova-sidebar-icons
```

Publish navigation view file:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Anaseqal\NovaSidebarIcons\ToolServiceProvider" --force
```

Register the tool in `NovaServiceProvider`:

```
use Anaseqal\NovaSidebarIcons\NovaSidebarIcons;
...

public function tools()
    {
        return [
            new NovaSidebarIcons,
            ...
        ];
    }
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Set the icon in your Nova resource, for example:

```
/**
 * The icon of the resource.
 *
 * @return string
 */
public static function icon()
{
    // Assuming you have a blade file containing an image
    // in resources/views/vendor/nova/svg/icon-user.blade.php
    return view('nova::svg.icon-user')->render();
}
```

This is the recommended approach. In the example above we have used a blade file containing an svg, but if you'd want to it's is possible return the entire svg string

***Examples of other approaches***

```
// By using an image tag
public static function icon()
{
    return '';
}

// Or simply return it as a string
public static function icon()
{
    return '

            ';
}

```

Backwards compatibility
-----------------------

[](#backwards-compatibility)

Please note that this package used to use a static $icon property on the resource. This has been replaced with the static icon method. The icon property is still supported to preserve backwards compatibility.
