BelongsToMany create & edit form UI for Laravel Nova. Enables attaching relationships easily and includes validation.

Forked from dillingham/nova-attach-many.

attach-many

Installation

composer require blendbyte/nova-attach-many

Quick Start

use NovaAttachMany\AttachMany;

public function fields(Request $request)
{
    return [
        AttachMany::make('Permissions'),
    ];
}

You can explicitly define the relationship & Nova resource:

AttachMany::make('Field Name', 'relationshipName', RelatedResource::class);

Pivot Values

You can pass additional parameters for any pivot value. See the Laravel docs on syncing associations for details.

AttachMany::make('Field Name', 'relationshipName', RelatedResource::class, ['pivot_name' => value]);

Display on Detail

This package only provides the create/edit views that BelongsToMany does not. Use BelongsToMany for displaying the table on detail views:

public function fields(Request $request)
{
    return [
        AttachMany::make('Permissions'),
        BelongsToMany::make('Permissions'),
    ];
}

Validation

You can set min, max, size or custom rule objects:

->rules('min:5', 'max:10', 'size:10', new CustomRule)

validation example

all options demo

Relatable

The attachable resources will be filtered by relatableQuery(), so you can control which resources are available for attachment.

Being Notified of Changes

Add a method to the resource to be notified of sync changes. The method must be a camel-cased version of the attribute name, followed by Synced:

public function fields(Request $request)
{
    return [
        AttachMany::make('Permissions'),
    ];
}

public function permissionsSynced(array $changes)
{
    $changes['attached']; // IDs of attached models
    $changes['detached']; // IDs of detached models
    $changes['updated'];  // IDs of updated models
}

Authorization

This field respects policies. For example, with a Role / Permission setup:

  • RolePolicy: attachAnyPermission($user, $role)
  • RolePolicy: attachPermission($user, $role, $permission)
  • PermissionPolicy: viewAny($user)
