Laravel Nova array items field with sorting, validation & many [display options](#options).

Forked from [dillingham/nova-items-field](https://github.com/dillingham/nova-items-field).

[![nova-array-input-field](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/29180903/51337942-7d1be300-1a56-11e9-84fa-66f5b285c279.png)](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/29180903/51337942-7d1be300-1a56-11e9-84fa-66f5b285c279.png)

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

[](#installation)

```
composer require blendbyte/nova-items-field
```

Quick Start
-----------

[](#quick-start)

```
use NovaItemsField\Items;

function fields() {
    return [
        Items::make('Emails'),
    ];
}
```

Be sure to [cast](https://laravel.com/docs/eloquent-mutators#array-and-json-casting) the property as an array on your Eloquent model:

```
public $casts = [
    'emails' => 'array',
];
```

Validation
----------

[](#validation)

Use Laravel's built-in [array validation](https://laravel.com/docs/validation#validating-arrays):

```
Items::make('Emails')->rules([
    null => 'required|min:2',
    '*'  => 'email|min:10',
]),
```

In this case, an error is produced if there aren't at least 2 items in the array and if each item is not a valid email or is shorter than 10 characters.

You can also use explicit attribute names — the behaviour is exactly the same:

```
Items::make('Emails', 'user_email')->rules([
    'user_email'   => 'required|min:2',
    'user_email.*' => 'email|min:10',
]),
```

Array Processing
----------------

[](#array-processing)

Use the array to perform other actions by making an [observer](https://laravel.com/docs/eloquent#observers):

```
function saving($user)
{
    foreach ($user->emails as $email) {
        //
    }
}
```

Customizing the Vue Component
-----------------------------

[](#customizing-the-vue-component)

You can replace the default item Vue component — see [this walkthrough](https://github.com/dillingham/nova-items-field/issues/10#issuecomment-527315057) for a brief guide.
