Please update your composer.json file before updating! ``` Sponsors -------- [](#sponsors) We thank the following sponsors for their generosity. Please take a moment to check them out: - [LIX](https://lix-it.com) Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - PHP 7.3+ - Laravel 7.0+ - Nova 3.8.4+ Installation ------------ [](#installation) You can install the package in to a Laravel app that uses [Nova](https://nova.laravel.com) via composer: ``` composer require genealabs/nova-prepopulate-searchable ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) On any `BelongsTo` fields in your resources that are `searchable()`, you can also add `prepopulate()` to the method chain and the field will be prepopulated with values to choose from. You may optionally pass through a search query to the prepopulate method, and the keywords passed will be used for the search initially, before resetting the search to being empty (as it currently is). ### Limiting Pre-Populated Items [](#limiting-pre-populated-items) You can limit the prepopulated items by passing in a search string to the `prepopulated()` method like so: ``` BelongsTo::make("Archive") ->searchable() ->prepopulate("test"). ``` This would prepopulate all archives that have test in their display field. ### Security [](#security) If you discover any security related issues, please email instead of using the issue tracker.
