A Laravel Nova field to display a number of multi-select options using checkboxes.

#Laravel Nova Checkboxes Field

#Package maintenance

Unfortunately I am no longer actively working in the Laravel ecosystem and as such am unable to maintian this package. If anyone would like to take over the maintenance of the package please get in touch (open an issue or contact me on Twitter).

#Installation

composer require silvanite/novafieldcheckboxes

#Usage

use Silvanite\NovaFieldCheckboxes\Checkboxes;
 
Checkboxes::make('Permissions')->options([
    'viewNova' => 'Access Admin UI',
    'manageUsers' => 'Manage Users',
]),

#Configuration

You can customise how the values from checkbox fields are passed to your scripts. By default it's will cast all numeric keys to floats or integers, e.g. [1, 2, 3] instead of ["1", "2", "3"]. You can save disable this feature by calling withoutTypeCasting() to have the original array keys returned unmodified.

use Silvanite\NovaFieldCheckboxes\Checkboxes;
 
Checkboxes::make('Permissions')->options([
    1 => 'Access Admin UI',
    2 => 'Manage Users',
])->withoutTypeCasting(),

You can also customise the number of columns in which options will be displayed by calling columns()

use Silvanite\NovaFieldCheckboxes\Checkboxes;
 
Checkboxes::make('Permissions')->options([
    1 => 'Access Admin UI',
    2 => 'Manage Users',
])->columns(4),

#Example using eloquent

Here is an example of how you might use an eloquent model with Checkboxes.

use Silvanite\NovaFieldCheckboxes\Checkboxes;
 
Checkboxes::make('users')
    ->options(App\User::pluck('name', 'id'))
    ->withoutTypeCasting(),
