Installation

You can install the Nova tool via Composer:

composer require --dev laravel/nova-devtool

Once installed, you can run the following to update NPM's package.json:

npm install --save-dev "vendor/laravel/nova-devtool"

Usages

Setup Laravel Nova Workbench

Laravel Nova Devtool can setup a basic Laravel Nova installation using workbench directory via Orchestra Workbench. To start the installation you can run the following command:

php vendor/bin/testbench workbench:install --devtool

Once the installation is completed, you should be able to serve Laravel Nova by running the following command:

composer run serve

Automatically logged-in the default user

Instead of manually logging-in the user, you may also change testbench.yaml to automatically authenticate the user:

workbench:
  start: /nova
+ user: nova@laravel.com
  build:

Install Axios, Lodash, Tailwind CSS or Vue

To simplify the installation, you can run the following commnad:

php vendor/bin/testbench nova:devtool install

Enables Vue DevTool for Laravel Nova

By default, Laravel Nova ship with JavaScript compiled for production without Vue DevTool. In order to enable Vue DevTool, you need to run the following command:

php vendor/bin/testbench nova:devtool enable-vue-devtool

Disables Vue DevTool for Laravel Nova

To reverse the above action, you need to run the following command:

php vendor/bin/testbench nova:devtool disable-vue-devtool

Ugrading from Nova 4

Nova Devtool ships with a generic nova.mix.js instead of publishing the file on each 3rd-party components. For external 3rd-party component you just need to include change the following code in webpack.mix.js:

let mix = require('laravel-mix')

-require('./nova.mix')
+mix.extend('nova', new require('laravel-nova-devtool'))

mix
  .setPublicPath('dist')

  // ...

Finally, you can remove the existing nova.mix.js from the component root directory.

laravel / nova-devtool
