Laravel Nova array items field with sorting, validation & many [display options](https://github.com/dillingham/nova-items-field#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 dillingham/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([
    'emails.*' => 'email|min:10',
]),
```

Manually setting the attribute may be needed in some cases.

```
Items::make('Long Text', 'attribute')->rules([
    'attribute.*' => '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)
    {
        //
    }
}
```
