Casts method inside HasFlexible trait

[vladles]

Inside the HasFlexible trait (which we're using in FlexibleCast) we're returning the raw value (string) when in the following context :

if(app()->getProvider(NovaServiceProvider::class) && !app()->runningInConsole() && !app()->environment('testing')) {
    return $value;
}

In other words, if you're testing inside Nova itself it won't return the casted value (because the field will take care of it by itself). Is that your case ?

Could you explain this case - for what we need returns $value string if we want to use CASTS features?

Maybe you meant the opposite?

if(!app()->getProvider(NovaServiceProvider::class) && app()->runningInConsole() && app()->environment('testing')) {

When I apply this code in MyFlexibleCast class and implements it for custom class, I faced with issue with laravel-nova pages, we faced the problem "Undefined property: stdClass::$layout". After a few minutes research I noticed that this happened in Whitecube\NovaFlexibleContent\Value\Resolver class extractValueFromResource method. This happened because we do data_get method from our resource and it's returns to us casts data, but we should recievied non-casts data from table.

// $value = data_get($resource, str_replace('->', '.', $attribute)) ?? [];
$value = $resource->getRawOriginal(str_replace('->', '.', $attribute)) ?? [];

And we can just call the getRawOriginal method (laravel 7+). And everything will be works!
