Nova Blog
=========

[](#nova-blog)

This [Laravel Nova](https://nova.laravel.com) package allows you to create a blog, manage blogposts and posts' content. The package is geared towards headless CMS's.

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

[](#installation)

Install the package in a Laravel Nova project via Composer:

```
composer require optimistdigital/nova-blog
```

Publish the `nova-blog` configuration file and edit it to your preference:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="OptimistDigital\NovaBlog\ToolServiceProvider" --tag="config"
```

Publish the database migration(s) and run migrate:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="OptimistDigital\NovaBlog\ToolServiceProvider" --tag="migrations"
php artisan migrate
```

Register the tool with Nova in the `tools()` method of the `NovaServiceProvider`:

```
// in app/Providers/NovaServiceProvider.php

public function tools()
{
    return [
        // ...
        new \OptimistDigital\NovaBlog\NovaBlog
    ];
}
```

Defining locales
----------------

[](#defining-locales)

The config accepts a dictionary of locales.

```
// in /config/nova-blog.php

// ...
'locales' => [
  'en' => 'English',
  'et' => 'Estonian',
],

// OR

'locales' => function () {
  return Locale::all()->pluck('name', 'key');
},

// if you wish to cache the configuration, pass a reference instead:

'locales' => NovaBlogConfiguration::class . '::locales',

// ...
```

### Nova Lang

[](#nova-lang)

This package supports [optimistdigital/nova-lang](https://github.com/optimistdigital/nova-lang) for easier content localization. After installing and setting up `nova-lang` package, you can use `nova_lang_get_all_locales` helper function in `nova-blog` config file

```
'locales' => nova_lang_get_all_locales(),
```

### Toggling page draft feature

[](#toggling-page-draft-feature)

Draft feature allows you to create previews of resources before publishing them. By default this feature is disabled but can be enabled by installing [nova-drafts](https://github.com/optimistdigital/nova-drafts) package.

```
composer require optimistdigital/nova-drafts
```

### Add links to front-end pages

[](#add-links-to-front-end-pages)

To display a link to the actual page next to the slug, add or overwrite the closure in `config/nova-blog.php` for the key `page_url`.

```
// in /config/nova-blog.php

// ...
'page_url' => function (Post $post) {
  return env('FRONTEND_URL') . '/' . $post->slug;
},

// if you wish to cache the configuration, pass a reference instead:

'page_url' => NovaBlogConfiguration::class . '::pageUrl',
// ...
```
