Laravel Nova Enum Field

Nova field for enums in PHP 8.1 and above (both pure Enum and BackedEnum) with datomatic/enum-helper and datomatic/laravel-enum-helper compatibility.

There is also a Nova Select filter and Nova Boolean filter:

Installation

You can install this package in a Laravel app that uses Nova via composer:

composer require datomatic/nova-enum-field

Setup

use App\Enums\UserType;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Example extends Model
{
    protected $casts = [
        'user_type' => UserType::class,
    ];
}

Usage

You can use the Enum field in your Nova resource like this:

namespace App\Nova;

use App\Enums\UserType;
use Datomatic\Nova\Fields\Enum\Enum;

class Example extends Resource
{
    // ...

    public function fields(Request $request)
    {
        return [
            // ...

            Enum::make('User Type','user_type')->attach(UserType::class),

            // ...
        ];
    }
}

Be aware that order in which methods on the field are called can be sigificant. For example nullable() must be called before before attach(), and options() must be called after attach().

If you use datomatic/laravel-enum-helper you can set optionally a custom dynamic property or/and a subset of cases.
The default property is description.

Enum::make('User Type','user_type')
    ->nullable()
    ->property('excerpt')
    ->cases([UserType::ADMINISTRATOR,UserType::MODERATOR])
    ->attach(UserType::class),

Filters

If you would like to use the provided Nova Select filter, you can include it like this:

namespace App\Nova;

use App\Enums\UserPermissions;
use App\Enums\UserType;
use Datomatic\Nova\Fields\Enum\EnumFilter;

class Example extends Resource
{
    // ...

    public function filters(Request $request)
    {
        return [
            EnumFilter::make('user_type', UserType::class),
                
             // With optional name and default value:
            EnumFilter::make('user_type', UserType::class)
                ->name(__('User Type'))
                ->default(UserType::ADMINISTRATOR)
        ];
    }
}

Alternatively, you may wish to use the provided Nova Boolean filter:

namespace App\Nova;

use App\Enums\UserPermissions;
use App\Enums\UserType;
use Datomatic\Nova\Fields\Enum\EnumBooleanFilter;

class Example extends Resource
{
    // ...

    public function filters(Request $request)
    {
        return [
            EnumBooleanFilter::make('user_type', UserType::class),
                
            // With optional name and default value:
            EnumBooleanFilter::make('user_type', UserType::class)
                ->name(__('User Type'))
                ->default([UserType::ADMINISTRATOR, UserType::MODERATOR])
        ];
    }
}

If you use datomatic/laravel-enum-helper you can set optionally a custom dynamic property or/and a subset of cases.
The default property is description.

// Enum filter
EnumFilter::make('user_type', UserType::class)
    ->name('User Type')
    ->property('excerpt')
    ->cases([UserType::ADMINISTRATOR,UserType::MODERATOR])
// Boolean Enum filter
EnumBooleanFilter::make('user_type', UserType::class)
    ->name('User Type')
    ->property('excerpt')
    ->cases([UserType::ADMINISTRATOR,UserType::MODERATOR])
