Nova Link Field
===============

[](#nova-link-field)

```
composer require upline/nova-link-field
```

- Link is displayed as a resource link in the index and detail views.
- In forms, the link is shown as a text input.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
use Upline\NovaLinkField\Link;

class User extends Resource
{
   // ...
   public function fields(NovaRequest $request)
   {
        return [
            // ...
            Link::make('Instagram')                 // Get link from instagram model field
                ->text(fn() => 'Instagram link')    // Set static anchor
                ->target('_blank')                  // Set target attribute
        ];
   }
}
```

```
use Upline\NovaLinkField\Link;

class User extends Resource
{
   // ...
   public function fields(NovaRequest $request)
   {
        return [
            // ...
            Link::make('Instagram', fn($resource) => 'https://instagram.com/' . $resource->instagramId) // Compute link
                ->text('instagram_username')    // Use instagram_username field as anchor text
                ->target('_blank')
        ];
   }
}
```

Why it is better than [formatting text as link](https://nova.laravel.com/docs/4.0/resources/fields.html#formatting-text-as-links)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[](#why-it-is-better-than-formatting-text-as-link)

In this example we don't escape `$username`, so we can get some security troubles.

```
Text::make('Twitter Profile', function () {
    $username = $this->twitterUsername;

    return "@{$username}";
})->asHtml(),
```

Same, using this package:

```
Link::make('Twitter Profile', function () {
    $username = $this->twitterUsername;
    return "https://twitter.com/{$username}";
})->text('username'),
```

However, in this case link and username will be escaped. If you need to use html in anchor text, you still can use `asHtml()` method.
