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

[](#installation)

Install the package into a Laravel app that uses [Nova](https://nova.laravel.com) with Composer:

```
composer require chaseconey/nova-external-image
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Add the field to your resource in the `fields` method:

```
use Chaseconey\ExternalImage\ExternalImage;

ExternalImage::make('Image')
```

The field extends the `Laravel\Nova\Fields\Text` field, so all the usual methods are available.

### Options

[](#options)

##### Prefix

[](#prefix)

Prepend the image field with a prefix path. This is useful if you don't store the absolute path of images, but instead point to a cdn.

```
ExternalImage::make('Image')
    ->prefix('https://example.com/'),
```

##### Width

[](#width)

Set the width of the image (in pixels).

```
ExternalImage::make('Image')
    ->width(32),
```

##### Height

[](#height)

Set the height of the image (in pixels).

```
ExternalImage::make('Image')
    ->height(32),
```

##### Radius

[](#radius)

Set the border radius of the image (in pixels).

```
ExternalImage::make('Image')
    ->radius(32),
```

##### Avatar

[](#avatar)

Set the image with avatar-like style (rounded and fixed height + width).

```
ExternalImage::make('Image')
    ->avatar(),
```

### Search Avatar

[](#search-avatar)

If you want the external image to act as an [Avatar](https://nova.laravel.com/docs/2.0/resources/fields.html#avatar-field) in the search box use `ExternalImageAsAvatar` instead of `ExternalImage`
