Installation

Install the package in a Laravel Nova project via Composer:

composer require optimistdigital/nova-drafts

Usage

Preparing the models and database

This field requires a few database changes - namely, the model requires three new columns Migrations can be created using the following Artisan command:

php artisan drafts:migration {table?}

if table name is not provided, a choice of all available tables is provided.

If your table has pre-existing Unique constraint: It's recommended to add 'published' field to the unique constraint. More information inside the migration file.

Defining the field

use OptimistDigital\NovaDrafts\DraftButton;
use OptimistDigital\NovaDrafts\PublishedField;
use OptimistDigital\NovaDrafts\UnpublishButton;

public function fields(Request $request)
{
    return [
        UnpublishButton::make('Unpublish'),
        DraftButton::make('Draft'),
        PublishedField::make('State', 'published'),
    ]
}

Index Filtering (IndexQuery)

Inside your Model add the following snippet:

public function childDraft()
{
    return $this->hasOne(YourModelName::class, 'draft_parent_id', 'id');
}

Inside your Index Query use that function, to filter out published pages that have drafts:

public static function indexQuery(NovaRequest $request, $query)
{
    return $query->doesntHave('childDraft');
}

Options

Possible option you can pass to the field using the option name as a function

Localization and text customization

The translation file(s) can be published by using the following publish command:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="OptimistDigital\NovaDrafts\FieldServiceProvider" --tag="translations"

You can add your translations to resources/lang/vendor/nova-drafts/ by creating a new translations file with the locale name (ie et.json) and copying the JSON from the existing en.json.
