Nova Items Field
----------------

[](#nova-items-field)

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

[![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

```

### Usage

[](#usage)

```
use NovaItemsField\Items;
```

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

and be sure to [cast](https://laravel.com/docs/5.7/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/5.7/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 might prefer to use explicit attribute names, the behaviour is exactly the same as before

```
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://nova.laravel.com/docs/1.0/resources/#resource-events)

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