This package was created using the [Laravel Backpack Addon Skeleton](https://github.com/Laravel-Backpack/addon-skeleton) provided by the Backpack team.

Optional properties: - `title` (string or closure) - text to be displayed inside an `` tag. - `content` (string or closure) - text to be displayed inside a padded callout box. You can use any html here, and it will be rendered without stipping tags. - `variant` (string) - You can use any of the Bootstrap 4 keywords to change the colour of the left border. (e.g. primary, secondary, success, info, warning, danger, light, dark). It defaults to 'info' if left null. - `divider` (boolean) - If set to TRUE, this adds an `` tag above the header, in case you want an even clearer visual divide between content sections. > NOTE: The content box is rendered with `{!! !!}`, so there is no safety net! Make sure you never pass user content directly into the content field without sanitising it first... ### Injecting $entry variables into the text [](#injecting-entry-variables-into-the-text) When doing an Update Operation, you may want to use some properties of the existing record in the title or content of the field. You can do this by making either property a closure with a single parameter "$entry". Your function should return the string you want rendered. For example: ``` $this->crud->addField([ 'name' => 'dynamic title', 'type' => 'section-title', 'title' => function($entry) { return "Editing " . $entry['name']; } ]); ``` Note that if you include this in the Create operation, $entry will be null, so write your closure to account for that. For example: ``` $this->crud->addField([ 'name' => 'dynamic title', 'type' => 'section-title', 'title' => function($entry) { if($entry) { return "Editing " . $entry['name']; } else { return "Creating new entry"; } } ]); ``` Overwriting ----------- [](#overwriting) If you need to change the field in any way, you can easily publish the file to your app, and modify that file any way you want. But please keep in mind that you will not be getting any updates. **Step 1.** Copy-paste the blade file to your directory: ``` # create the fields directory if it's not already there mkdir -p resources/views/vendor/backpack/crud/fields # copy the blade file inside the folder we created above cp -i vendor/stats4sd/laravel-backpack-section-title/resources/views/fields/section-title.blade.php resources/views/vendor/backpack/crud/fields/section-title.blade.php ``` **Step 2.** Remove the vendor namespace wherever you've used the field: ``` $this->crud->addField([ 'name' => 'agreed', 'type' => 'toggle', 'label' => 'I agree to the terms and conditions', - 'view_namespace' => 'stats4sd.laravel-backpack-section-title::fields' ]); ``` **Step 3.** Uninstall this package. Since it only provides one file, and you're no longer using that file, it makes no sense to have the package installed: ``` composer remove stats4sd/laravel-backpack-section-title ``` Change log ---------- [](#change-log) Changes are documented here on Github.
