Nova Modules v1.3.0 by CmDevelopment

A Laravel Nova Tool helping modularize your application. Often happens that our applications grow a lot and we need a lot of models, resources, lenses, actions, migrations etc.. With this package we can divide our nova parts in little chunks (or modules).

Let's start

To start you just need to install the composer package

    composer require mycmdev/nova-modules

In our composer.json we have to add

    "autoload": {
            "psr-4": {
                "NovaModules\\": "nova-modules/"
            }
        },

"nova-modules" and "NovaModules" are the default folder and default namespace for the package, but you can change it publishing the config file with the command:

    php artisan vendor:publish --tag=nova-modules

and changing it on:

    'path' => 'nova-modules',
    'namespace' => 'NovaModules'

now we just need to type the command:

    php artisan nova-modules:make {name of our module}

and our module will be autocreated with all his subfolders.

Directory Structure

So we'll have a structure like this :

• NovaModules
  • TestModule
  • Actions
  • Assets
    • js
      • Fields
      • Filters
      • Cards
      • ResourceTools
      • Tools
    • sass
    • views
  • Cards
  • Dashboards
  • Database
    • migrations
    • seeds
  • Fields
  • Filters
  • Lenses
  • Metrics
  • Models
  • Providers
  • Resources
  • ResourcesTools
  • Routes
  • Tools

Commands

NovaModules has an artisan command for almost everything we need:

For creating new action

php artisan nova-modules:action {action-name} {module-name}

For creating new card

note: it will create a folder in our assets with the Vue file so we can integrate it in our main JS file

php artisan nova-modules:card {card-name} {module-name}

For creating new custom filter

note: this one as well will create a folder in our assets with the Vue file

php artisan nova-modules:custom-filter {custom-filter-name} {module-name}

For creating new dasboard

php artisan nova-modules:dashboard {dashboard-name} {module-name}

For creating a new Field

note: this one will create the 3 different Vue files for each view in our nova application.

php artisan nova-modules:field {field-name} {module-name}

For creating a new filter

php artisan nova-modules:filter {filter-name} {module-name}

For creating a new lens

php artisan nova-modules:lens {lens-name} {module-name}

For creating a migration

php artisan nova-modules:migration {migration-name} {module-name}

For creating a new model

php artisan nova-modules:model {model-name} {module-name}

For creating a new partition metric

php artisan nova-modules:partition {partition-name} {module-name}

If we need to integrate another service provider in our module

note: you need to register it in your main module service provider.

php artisan nova-modules:provider {provider-name} {module-name}

For creating a new resource

note: resources are all auto loaded in your main application and they are grouped by default with the name of your module.

php artisan nova-modules:resource {resource-name} {module-name}

For creating a new resource-tool

note: this will create as weel Vue file inside your assets folder.

php artisan nova-modules:resource-tool {resource-tool-name} {module-name}

For creating a new tool connected with your module

note: this will create Vue file inside your assets folder as well a navigation.blade inside the Assets/views folder .

I don't know if maybe in a future release i will add a system for autoloading

php artisan nova-modules:tool {tool-name} {module-name}

For creating a new trend metric

php artisan nova-modules:trend {trend-name} {module-name}

For creating a new value metric

php artisan nova-modules:value {value-name} {module-name}

For creating a new policy

php artisan nova-modules:policy {policy-name} {module-name}
