other fieldtypes

[Dontorpedo]

Hi,

It would be nice if other Fieldtypes had also a broadcast method..
something like.

Place::make()->broadcaster()

and so on...
do you thin this is possible?

thanks

I think this would be a bit difficult. The default Nova fields do not broadcast an event, and the only way to enable a ->broadcaster() feature would be to replace the built-in components, or extend Nova's primary repository to enable a hook on the value.

I will look into this once I get some time.

I followed @codebykyle instructions here, and created my own custom local package having other broadcaster and listener field types. Here's an example of the folder structure of my package:

├── resources
│   ├── js
│   │   ├── components
│   │   │   ├── broadcaster-belongs-to-field
│   │   │   │   └── FormField.vue
│   │   │   ├── broadcaster-boolean-field
│   │   │   │   └── FormField.vue
│   │   │   ├── broadcaster-text-field
│   │   │   │   └── FormField.vue
│   │   │   ├── listener-belongs-to-field
│   │   │   │   └── FormField.vue
│   │   │   └── listener-text-field
│   │   │       └── FormField.vue
│   │   ├── field.js
│   │   └── mixins
│   │       └── Listener.vue
│   └── sass
│       └── field.scss
├── routes
│   └── api.php
├── src
│   ├── Http
│   │   └── Controllers
│   │       └── CalculatedFieldController.php
│   ├── Traits

@pauldstar would you be so kind to share your nova-components code?

[pauldstar]

@latwelve

Sure. I'll create a repo and share it shortly.

thank you - I've just had a quick look is it missing ListenerBoolean?

[pauldstar]

@latwelve Yeah it's missing. I've only added field types that I've needed thus far. I could add it if you fancy.

Ah ok no worries - I should be able to add extra fields in too, new to laravel and nova so it's a good exercise thanks for getting me started

[pauldstar]

@latwelve Fantastic. Have fun.

@pauldstar Hello, great extension you built there. It is not available on composer, so my question is how can i install your package? Can you give me some keywords so I can search for a tutorial? Thanks

[pauldstar]

Hello @marcusgabler

Sorry for late reply. It used to be on composer, but i took it off, because I made so many modifications to it, and didn't have time to keep updating. Plus I've merged it with another custom package that I made for UI at work. So I didn't feel comfortable dishing out a half finished product.

So I've just left the repo as public, so others can study and add to their code as they see fit.

Looking to use this for a Select. If anyone has experimented with this can you please let me know. Thank you.

[pauldstar]

@keironwaites

I've updated my repo with a Select (ReactiveSelect.php, ReactiveSelect.vue).

[keironwaites]

@pauldstar Wow! Nice one, thank you. I will try it out hopefully this afternoon.
