Important
=========

[](#important)

I am not the author of this package, it is a copy of the Elevate Digital package. I set this up to include in a project when the dependency link was broken on github.

Nova Charcounter Fields
=======================

[](#nova-charcounter-fields)

Text and textarea fields with a character counter for Laravel Nova.

### Installation

[](#installation)

You can require this package using composer:

`composer require smartians/nova-charcounted-fields`

Usage
=====

[](#usage)

You can add the field with a resolver as follows:

```
use Smartians\CharcountedFields\TextCounted;
use Smartians\CharcountedFields\TextareaCounted;

TextCounted::make('Meta title')

```

[![Image of character counter](docs/screenshot.jpg)](docs/screenshot.jpg)

You can use the text and textarea fields with charactercounters on you Nova model. The max number of characters aren't enforced, but just encouraged with warning colors and the counter. (You could enforce the max number of characters with Nova's built in *rules*).

```
TextCounted::make('Meta title')
    ->maxChars(60)
    ->warningAt(50),

TextareaCounted::make('Meta description')
    ->maxChars(160)
    ->warningAt(150),
```

The maxChars and warningAt are both optional. The color of the counter will change when the max or warningAt limit is reached. [![Image of character counter with indication](docs/screenshot-errors.jpg)](docs/screenshot-errors.jpg)
