Missing Nova resource callback functions
========================================

[](#missing-nova-resource-callback-functions)

This package adds support for defining callback functions directly inside your resource class.

```
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Ganyicz\NovaCallbacks\HasCallbacks

class User extends Resource
{
    use HasCallbacks;

    public function fields(Request $request)
    {
        return [];
    }

    public static function beforeSave(Request $request, $model)
    {
      // Do something before the model is created or updated
    }

    public static function afterSave(Request $request, $model)
    {
      // Do something after the model is created or updated
    }

    public static function beforeCreate(Request $request, $model)
    {
      // Do something before the model is created
    }

    public static function afterCreate(Request $request, $model)
    {
      // Do something after the model is created
    }

    public static function beforeUpdate(Request $request, $model)
    {
      // Do something before the model is updated
    }

    public static function afterUpdate(Request $request, $model)
    {
      // Do something after the model is updated
    }
}
```

Why?
----

[](#why)

Currently, if you want to do anything after your resource is saved, you have to define a model observer outside of the resource class. This just makes the code harder to find. This package is especially useful if you only need to do a simple logic after your resource is saved, as everything can be kept in one file.

To expand the possibilities, check out my other package [Nova Temporary Fields](https://github.com/ganyicz/nova-temporary-fields) which allows you to create custom fields that won't be persisted in your model and will only be available inside the callbacks.

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

[](#installation)

You can install the package via composer:

```
composer require ganyicz/nova-callbacks
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

1. Apply `HasCallbacks` trait on your resource.
2. Define one of the callback functions.

TIP: Apply the trait on your base Resource class inside your Nova folder so that the callback functions are available for you in every new resource.

Available callbacks
-------------------

[](#available-callbacks)

`public static function beforeSave(Request $request, $model)`

Called both before creating and updating the resource

`public static function afterSave(Request $request, $model)`

Called both after creating and updating the resource

`public static function beforeCreate(Request $request, $model)`

Called before creating a new resource

`public static function afterCreate(Request $request, $model)`

Called after creating a new resource

`public static function beforeUpdate(Request $request, $model)`

Called before updating an existing resource

`public static function afterUpdate(Request $request, $model)`

Called after updating an existing resource

How does it work?
-----------------

[](#how-does-it-work)

The implementation is really simple. Before Nova fills the model, we overwrite `fill` and `fillForUpdate` methods exposed by `Laravel\Nova\FillsFields` trait to add a closure based model event listener. After the model is saved, we simply call the callback function defined inside your resource.

Keep in mind
------------

[](#keep-in-mind)

As the implementation works on `saved` model event, saving the model itself inside the callback function will throw you into infinite loop. If you really need to save your model inside the callback, use `saveQuietly()` so that the event is not dispatched.

As mentioned above, the trait provided by this package overrides `fill` and `fillForUpdate` methods on your resource.
