Laravel Nova Sortable Field

Description

This field adds reordering functionality to your resource's index using the awesome eloquent-sortable package by the great people of Spatie.

Requrements

• Laravel 5.6+ with Nova.
• spatie/eloquent-sortable (If not already installed, this package will install if for you and all you have to do is follow the installation instructions).

Installation

This package can be installed through Composer.

composer require naxon/nova-field-sortable

Usage

1. Follow the usage instructions on the eloquent-sortable repository to make your model sortable.
2. Use the Naxon\NovaFieldSortable\Concerns\SortsIndexEntries trait in your Nova Resource.
3. Add a public static property called $defaultSortField to your resource, containing your sorting column (I recomment adding it in your main app/Nova/Resource.php file).
4. Add the Naxon\NovaFieldSortable\Sortable field to your Nova Resource fields method, using a label and your primary key column.

Example

<?php

namespace App\Nova;

use Laravel\Nova\Fields\ID;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Laravel\Nova\Http\Requests\NovaRequest;
use Laravel\Nova\Fields\Text;
use Naxon\NovaFieldSortable\Concerns\SortsIndexEntries;
use Naxon\NovaFieldSortable\Sortable;

class Page extends Resource
{
    use SortsIndexEntries;
    
    public static $defaultSortField = 'sort_order';
    
    /**
     * Get the fields displayed by the resource.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
     * @return array
     */
    public function fields(Request $request)
    {
        return [
            ID::make()->sortable(),
            
            Text::make('Title'),
            
            Sortable::make('Order', 'id')
                ->onlyOnIndex(),
        ];
    }
}
