#Requirements

• php: ^7.4 | ^8
• laravel/nova: ^4

For Laravel Nova Version 3, please use nova-tabs v1 instead.

#Installation

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

composer require eminiarts/nova-tabs

#Usage

#Tabs Panel

You can group fields of a resource into tabs.

// in app/Nova/Resource.php
 
use Eminiarts\Tabs\Traits\HasTabs;
use Eminiarts\Tabs\Tabs;
use Eminiarts\Tabs\Tab;
 
class User extends Resource
{
    use HasTabs;
 
    public function fields(Request $request)
    {
       return [
         Tabs::make('Some Title', [
            Tab::make('Balance', [
                Number::make('Balance', 'balance'),
                Number::make('Total', 'total'),
            ]),
            Tab::make('Other Info', [
                Number::make('Paid To Date', 'paid_to_date')
            ]),
         ]),
      ];
    }
 }

The first tab in every Tabs instance will be auto-selected.

#Relationship Tabs

These are a bit outdated, as the search and create buttons now show within the panel down where the actual content is displayed, not in the tab panel.

// in app/Nova/Resource.php
 
use Eminiarts\Tabs\Tabs;
use Laravel\Nova\Fields\HasMany;
use Eminiarts\Tabs\Traits\HasTabs;
 
class User extends Resource
{
    use HasTabs;
 
    public function fields(Request $request)
    {
        return [
           Tabs::make('Relations', [
                HasMany::make('Invoices'),
                HasMany::make('Notes'),
                HasMany::make('Contacts')
            ]),
 
        ];
    }
}

#Combine Fields and Relations in Tabs

use Eminiarts\Tabs\Tabs;
use Laravel\Nova\Fields\HasMany;
use Eminiarts\Tabs\Traits\HasTabs;
 
use Laravel\Nova\Fields\ID;
use Laravel\Nova\Fields\Text;
 
class User extends Resource
{
    use HasTabs;
 
    public function fields(Request $request)
    {
          return [
              Tabs::make(__('Client Custom Details'), [
                  new Panel(__('Details'), [
                          ID::make('Id', 'id')->rules('required')->hideFromIndex(),
                          Text::make('Name', 'name'),
                  ]),
                  HasMany::make('Invoices')
              ]),
         ];
    }
}

#Actions in Tabs

If your Model uses the Laravel\Nova\Actions\Actionable Trait you can put the Actions into a Tab like this:

// in app/Nova/Resource.php
 
use Eminiarts\Tabs\Tabs;
use Eminiarts\Tabs\Tab;
use Eminiarts\Tabs\Traits\HasTabs;
use Eminiarts\Tabs\Traits\HasActionsInTabs; // Add this Trait
use Laravel\Nova\Actions\ActionResource; // Import the Resource
 
class Client extends Resource
{
    use HasTabs;
    use HasActionsInTabs; // Use this Trait
 
    public function fields(Request $request)
    {
        return [
            Tabs::make('Client Custom Details', [
                Tab::make('Address', [
                    ID::make('Id', 'id'),
                    Text::make('Name', 'name')->hideFromDetail(),
                ]),
                Tab::make('Invoices', [
                    HasMany::make('Invoices'),
                ]),
                Tab::make('Actions', [
                    $this->actionfield(), // Add Actions whererver you like.
                ]),
            ]),
        ];
    }
}

#Tabs on Edit View

Tabs are always shown on edit view as of Nova 4 for now.

#Tab object

As of v1.4.0 it's possible to use a Tab class instead of an array to represent your tabs.

#Customization

#Display more than 5 items

By default, any HasMany, BelongsToMany and MorphMany fields show 5 items in their index. You can use Nova's built-in static property $perPageViaRelationship on the respective resource to show more (or less).

#Tab change Global Event

Nova Tabs emits an event upon tabs loading and the user clicking on a tab, using Nova Event Bus. Developers can listen to the event called nova-tabs-changed, with 2 parameters as payload: The tab panel name and the tab name itself.

Example of a component that subscribes to this event:

export default {
    mounted () {
        Nova.$on('nova-tabs-changed', (panel, tab) => {
            if (panel === 'Client Details' && tab === 'address') {
                this.$nextTick(() => this.map.updateSize())
            }
        })
    }
}

#Upgrade to 2.0.0

• Breaking changes
  • Removed selectFirstTab, first tab is always displayed first.
  • Even if you have other panels, tabs will always show up first and has the toolbar.
  • TabsOnEdit is gone and non relational tabs will simply always display on edit.
  • I don't use dusk, so didn't check the tests for it either, they might be broken.
  • Added Eminiarts\Tabs\Traits\HasTabs to overwrite Nova 4 default panel methods in Laravel\Nova\ResolveFields.
  • Moved Eminiarts\Tabs\ActionsInTabs to Eminiaarts\Tabs\Traits\HasActionsInTabs.
  • Added position method to Tab to fix relational tabs showing up last.
