Getting Started

Prerequisites

This package requires the following :

PHP 8.0 or higher
Laravel Nova 4

Note If you plan on using this package with an S3 bucket, be mindful to follow the instructions for setting up an S3 storage disk.

Installing

To get started, you will need to install the following dependencies :

composer require oneduo/nova-file-manager

That's it, you're ready to go!

Configuration

You may publish the package's configuration by running the following command :

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="nova-file-manager-config"

Note You can find details about the configuration options in the configuration file section.

Usage

To get yourself started, you need to add the following tool to your NovaServiceProvider.php

// NovaServiceProvider.php

use Oneduo\NovaFileManager\NovaFileManager;

class NovaServiceProvider extends NovaApplicationServiceProvider
{
    // ...

    public function tools(): array
    {
        return [
            // ... any other tools
            NovaFileManager::make(),
        ];
    }
}

Now that the tool is registered, if you go back to your Nova dashboard, you should see a new navigation entry labeled " File Manager".

Once you've added the tool, you can start using it.

Go ahead and add a FileManager field to your Nova resource.

// app/Nova/User.php

use Oneduo\NovaFileManager\FileManager;

class User extends Resource
{
    // ...

    public function fields(NovaRequest $request): array
    {
        return [
            // ... any other fields
            FileManager::make(__('Avatar'), 'avatar'),
        ];
    }
}

You have now successfully added a File Manager field to your resource.
