Field default value not working

[Dartui]

Hi, I am trying to define default value for field but it is not working. I've tested this only on Boolean and Text field without any success.

Example code:

use Outl1ne\NovaSettings\NovaSettings;
use Laravel\Nova\Fields\Text;

NovaSettings::addSettingsFields([
    Text::make('Test', 'test')->default(fn() => 'default value'),
    Text::make('Another test', 'another_test')->default('default value'),
]);

Docs about default values: https://nova.laravel.com/docs/4.0/resources/fields.html#default-values

Insert your default value into the database instead. I don't think it's okay to show a setting having a value when in reality it's not in the database. ;)

I am trying to add setting for something that was enabled by hardcoded value in code. Now if I add Boolean field to settings and someone just click save it will store false value in database rather than true, thus this option will be disabled.

To be more I am developing something that is shipped as package and I cannot be 100% sure that someone will migrate default value to the database.

If anyone ever stumble upon similar issue then "default" method behavior can be reproduced using third parameter (resolve callback) of field:

NovaSettings::addSettingsFields([
    Boolean::make('Test', 'test_setting', fn() => $this->resolveTestSettingValue()),
]);

public function resolveTestSettingValue(): bool
{
    $value = NovaSettings::getSetting('test_setting', null);

    return $value !== null ? boolval($value) : true; // true is the default value
}

Very useful @Dartui this works

Number::make('Notifications Duration', 'notifications_duration', function () {
    return NovaSettings::getSetting('notifications_duration', 8000);
}),
