This package intends to provide a friendlier interface while using `Backpack CRUD`, by makes use of `laravel's facade`.

According to the way `Backpack\Crud` works, this package rely the trailing method to perform the magic. Currently these compulsory trailing methods are:

- `public function toField($extraConfigToBeMerged = []): CrudPanel`
- `public function toColumn($extraConfigToBeMerged = []): CrudPanel`
- `public function toFilter($extraConfigToBeMerged = []): void`

All other methods return the current instance `$this`. In order to perform method chain, refer class source code for api, example:

```
CrudColumn::init(string $label, ?string $name = null, $priority = null): self
CrudField::init(string $label, ?string $name = null, $width = null): self
```

There is a 2-steps plan:

- To include all `Backpack CRUD` columns, fields, and filters
- To merge the helper classes into one.

These is no test written, yet.
