# Nova Parental Field
A Laravel Nova field made for [Parental](https://github.com/calebporzio/parental) to quickly make a select element to choose the child type
## Installation
```bash
composer require alitnk/nova-parental-field
```
## Usage
```php
use Wama\NovaParentalField\Parental;
public function fields(Request $request)
{
return [
// ... your other fields
Parental::make()->searchable(),
];
}
```
The parental field extends Nova's select field. so you can make use of methods like `searchable()` on it.
Passing the field's name is optional, the package will automatically get the field name based on your `$childColumn` property and if there is none, [it'll just default to `type`](https://github.com/calebporzio/parental/blob/a0739736b9a34cb78bca5b4eda45882765644ff5/src/HasChildren.php#L174).
After making the field, it automatically gets the children types and populates them in the select field.

So, assuming your parent model looks like this:
```php
class User extends Model {
use HasChildren;
private $childTypes = [
'admin' => Admin::class,
'moderator' => Moderator::class,
'author' => Author::class,
];
}
```
After you add the `Parental::make()->searchable()` to your Nova fields, you should get the following result:
