Laravel Nova Concat Search
--------------------------

[](#laravel-nova-concat-search)

Allows searching for Resources by a concatenation of multiple fields in Laravel Nova.

### Example

[](#example)

An example use case is where a table contains `first_name` and `last_name`, and the Nova user would like to search by full name.

Example table;

first\_namelast\_nameemail...JohnDoe...Using standard Nova search, the term `John Doe` will not match this record as neither first name or last name match.

By adding a sub-array of column names into the `$search` property of a Resource, this package allows searching on concatenated database fields:

```
class User extends Resource
{
    use Shepp\NovaConcatSearch\Traits\SearchesOnConcatColumns;

    public static $search = [
        ['first_name', 'last_name'], //
