Use Case
--------

[](#use-case)

Ever had the following database structure and did not want the user to create the related resource (product\_types) seperatly since it only consists of a unique name. But you don't want to put the product\_type directly in the products table, since it would violate the third normal form.

[![Database setup example](https://github.com/Sparclex/screenshots/raw/master/nova-creatable-belongs-to-database.png)](https://github.com/Sparclex/screenshots/blob/master/nova-creatable-belongs-to-database.png)

This package solves this, by keeping the original belongsTo field but allowing the user to create a new resource by simply entering a not yet existing name. Additionally it includes the [prepopulate-searchable](https://github.com/alexbowers/nova-prepopulate-searchable) package from alexbowers.

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

[](#installation)

```
composer require sparclex/nova-creatable-belongs-to

```

Add field inside your fields Array. The parameters consist of the same ones as the laravel nova [belongsTo field](https://nova.laravel.com/docs/1.0/resources/relationships.html#belongsto) with an additional `nameAttribute` which determines the name of the display attribute in the related model (default: name).

```
public function fields(Request $request)
{
    return [
        ID::make()->sortable(),
        CreatableBelongsTo::make('ProductType', 'productType', 'App\Nova\ProductType', 'name')
            ->prepopulate()
    ];
}
```
