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

[](#installation)

Install the package in a Laravel Nova project via Composer:

```
composer require optimistdigital/nova-multiselect-field
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

The field is used similarly to Nova's native Select field. The field type in the database should be text-based (ie `string`, `text` or `varchar`), selected values are stored as a stringified JSON array.

```
use OptimistDigital\MultiselectField\Multiselect;

public function fields(Request $request)
{
    return [
      Multiselect::make('Football teams')
        ->options([
          'liverpool' => 'Liverpool FC',
          'tottenham' => 'Tottenham Hotspur',
        ])

        // Optional:
        ->placeholder('Choose football teams') // Placeholder text
        ->max(4) // Maximum number of items the user can choose
        ->saveAsJSON() // Saves value as JSON if the database column is of JSON type
        ->optionsLimit(5) // How many items to display at once
        ->reorderable() // Allows reordering functionality
        ->singleSelect() // If you want a searchable single select field

        // Async model querying
        Multiselect::make('Artists')
          ->asyncResource(Artist::class),

          // If you want a custom search, create your own endpoint:
          ->api('/api/multiselect/artists?something=false', Artist::class),
    ];
}
```

### Option groups

[](#option-groups)

Option groups are supported. Their syntax is the same as [Laravel's option group syntax](https://nova.laravel.com/docs/2.0/resources/fields.html#select-field).

In this example (from Nova docs), all values are grouped by the `group` key:

```
->options([
    'MS' => ['label' => 'Small', 'group' => 'Men Sizes'],
    'MM' => ['label' => 'Medium', 'group' => 'Men Sizes'],
    'WS' => ['label' => 'Small', 'group' => 'Women Sizes'],
    'WM' => ['label' => 'Medium', 'group' => 'Women Sizes'],
])
```

### Dependencies

[](#dependencies)

You can make a Multiselect depend on another by using `dependsOn`. This also requires specifying `->dependsOnOptions()`. The value from the `dependsOn` Multiselect has to be the key to the options and the value must be a key-value dictionary of options as usual.

Usage:

```
Multiselect::make('Country', 'country')
    ->options([
        'IT' => 'Italy',
        'SG' => 'Singapore',
    ]),

Multiselect::make('Language', 'language')
    ->dependsOn('country')
    ->dependsOnOptions([
        'IT' => [
            'it' => 'Italian',
        ],
        'SG' => [
            'en' => 'English',
            'ms' => 'Malay',
            'zh' => 'Chinese',
        ]
    ]),

    // Optionally define max number of values
    ->dependsOnMax([
        'IT' => 1,
        'SG' => 3,
    ])
```

Belongs-To-Many
---------------

[](#belongs-to-many)

You can use this field for `BelongsToMany` relationship selection.

```
// Add your BelongsToMany relationship to your model:
public function categories()
{
    return $this->belongsToMany(\App\Models\Category::class);
}

// Add the field to your Resource:
Multiselect::make('Categories', 'categories')
  ->belongsToMany(\App\Nova\Resources\Category::class),
```

Options
-------

[](#options)

Possible options you can pass to the field using the option name as a function, ie `->placeholder('Choose peanuts')`.

Optiontypedefaultdescription`options`Array|callable\[\]Options in an array as key-value pairs (`['id' => 'value']`).`api($path, $resource)`String, String (Resource)nullURL that can be used to fetch options asynchronously. The search string is provided in the `search` query parameter. The API must return object containing key-value pairs (`['id' => 'value']`).`asyncResource($resource)`String (Resource)nullProvide a Resource class to fetch the options asynchronously.`placeholder`StringField nameThe placeholder string for the input.`max`NumberInfiniteThe maximum number of options a user can select.`groupSelect`BooleanfalseFor use with option groups - allows the user to select whole groups at once`singleSelect`BooleanfalseMakes the field act as a single select which also means the saved value will not be an array.`saveAsJSON`BooleanfalseWhen you have a SQL JSON column, you can force the field to save the values as JSON. By default, values are saved as a stringified array.`optionsLimit`Number1000The maximum number of options displayed at once. Other options are still accessible through searching.`nullable`BooleanfalseIf the field is nullable an empty select will result in `null` else an empty array (`[]`) is stored.`reorderable`BooleanfalseEnables (or disables) the reordering functionality of the multiselect field.`dependsOn`StringnullDetermines which Multiselect this field depends on.`dependsOnOptions`ArraynullDetermines the options for `dependsOn`. See example above on how to format it correctly.`belongsToMany`String (Resource)nullAllows the Multiselect to function as a BelongsToMany field.`belongsTo`String (Resource)nullAllows the Multiselect to function as a BelongsTo field.`resolveForPageResponseUsing`CallablenullOnly for use in conjunction with [Page Manager](https://github.com/optimistdigital/nova-page-manager). Allows you to format the value before it is returned through the API.`clearOnSelect`BooleanfalseClears input after an option has been selected.Localization
------------

[](#localization)

The translations file can be published by using the following publish command:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="OptimistDigital\MultiselectField\FieldServiceProvider" --tag="translations"
```

You can then edit the strings to your liking.

Overwriting the detail field
----------------------------

[](#overwriting-the-detail-field)

You can overwrite the detail view value component to customize it as you see fit.

Create a new component for `NovaMultiselectDetailFieldValue` and register it in your `app.js`. The component receives two props: `field` and `values`. The `values` prop is an array of selected labels.

```
// in NovaMultiselectDetailFieldValue.vue

        {{ value }}

  —

export default {
  props: ['field', 'values'],
};

```

```
// in app.js

import NovaMultiselectDetailFieldValue from './NovaMultiselectDetailFieldValue';

Nova.booting((Vue, router, store) => {
  Vue.component('nova-multiselect-detail-field-value', NovaMultiselectDetailFieldValue);
});
```
