This [Laravel Nova](https://nova.laravel.com) package adds a multiselect to Nova's arsenal of fields.

## Requirements

- `php: >=8.0`
- `laravel/nova: ^4.1`

## Features

- Multi- and singleselect with search
- Asynchronous search
- Reordering functionality with drag & drop
- Dependency on other Multiselect instances
- Distinct values between multiple multiselects
- Fully compatible with light and dark modes

## Installation

Install the package in a Laravel Nova project via Composer:

```bash
composer require outl1ne/nova-multiselect-field
```

## Usage

The field is used similarly to Nova's native Select field. The field type in the database should be text-based (ie `string`, `text` or `varchar`), selected values are stored as a stringified JSON array.

```php
use Outl1ne\MultiselectField\Multiselect;

public function fields(Request $request)
{
return [
Multiselect::make('Football teams')
->options([
'liverpool' => 'Liverpool FC',
'tottenham' => 'Tottenham Hotspur',
])

// Optional:
->placeholder('Choose football teams') // Placeholder text
->max(4) // Maximum number of items the user can choose
->saveAsJSON() // Saves value as JSON if the database column is of JSON type
->optionsLimit(5) // How many items to display at once
->reorderable() // Allows reordering functionality
->singleSelect() // If you want a searchable single select field
->distinct('football') // Disables values used by other multiselects in same distinct group
->taggable() // Possible to add values ("tags") on the fly

// Async model querying
Multiselect::make('Artists')
->asyncResource(Artist::class),

// If you want a custom search, create your own endpoint:
->api('/api/multiselect/artists?something=false', Artist::class),
];
}
```

### Option groups

Option groups are supported. Their syntax is the same as [Laravel's option group syntax](https://nova.laravel.com/docs/2.0/resources/fields.html#select-field).

In this example (from Nova docs), all values are grouped by the `group` key:

```php
->options([
'MS' => ['label' => 'Small', 'group' => 'Men Sizes'],
'MM' => ['label' => 'Medium', 'group' => 'Men Sizes'],
'WS' => ['label' => 'Small', 'group' => 'Women Sizes'],
'WM' => ['label' => 'Medium', 'group' => 'Women Sizes'],
])
```

### Dependencies

You can make a Multiselect depend on another by using `optionsDependOn`. The value from the `optionsDependOn` Multiselect has to be the key to the options and the value must be a key-value dictionary of options as usual.

Usage:

```php
Multiselect::make('Country', 'country')
->options([
'IT' => 'Italy',
'SG' => 'Singapore',
]),

Multiselect::make('Language', 'language')
->optionsDependOn('country', [
'IT' => [
'it' => 'Italian',
],
'SG' => [
'en' => 'English',
'ms' => 'Malay',
'zh' => 'Chinese',
]
]),

// Optionally define max number of values
->optionsDependOnMax([
'IT' => 1,
'SG' => 3,
])
```

## Belongs-To-Many

You can use this field for `BelongsToMany` relationship selection.

```php
// Add your BelongsToMany relationship to your model:
public function categories()
{
return $this->belongsToMany(\App\Models\Category::class);
}

// Add the field to your Resource for asynchronous option querying:
Multiselect::make('Categories', 'categories')
->belongsToMany(\App\Nova\Resources\Category::class),

// Alternatively, you can set the second argument to 'false' to
// query the options on page load and prevent the user from having
// to first type in order to view the available options. Note: Not
// recommended for unbounded relationship row counts.
Multiselect::make('Categories', 'categories')
->belongsToMany(\App\Nova\Resources\Category::class, false),
```

## Options

Possible options you can pass to the field using the option name as a function, ie `->placeholder('Choose peanuts')`.

| Option | type | default | description |
| -------------------------- | ------------------------- | --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `options` | Array\|callable | [] | Options in an array as key-value pairs (`['id' => 'value']`). |
| `api($path, $resource)` | String, String (Resource) | null | URL that can be used to fetch options asynchronously. The search string is provided in the `search` query parameter. The API must return object containing key-value pairs (`['id' => 'value']`). |
| `asyncResource($resource)` | String (Resource) | null | Provide a Resource class to fetch the options asynchronously. |
| `placeholder` | String | Field name | The placeholder string for the input. |
| `max` | Number | Infinite | The maximum number of options a user can select. |
| `groupSelect` | Boolean | false | For use with option groups - allows the user to select whole groups at once |
| `singleSelect` | Boolean | false | Makes the field act as a single select which also means the saved value will not be an array. |
| `saveAsJSON` | Boolean | false | When you have a SQL JSON column, you can force the field to save the values as JSON. By default, values are saved as a stringified array. |
| `optionsLimit` | Number | 1000 | The maximum number of options displayed at once. Other options are still accessible through searching. |
| `nullable` | Boolean | false | If the field is nullable an empty select will result in `null` else an empty array (`[]`) is stored. |
| `reorderable` | Boolean | false | Enables (or disables) the reordering functionality of the multiselect field. |
| `optionsDependOn` | String, Array | null | Determines which Multiselect this field depends on. |
| `belongsToMany` | String (Resource) | null | Allows the Multiselect to function as a BelongsToMany field. |
| `belongsTo` | String (Resource) | null | Allows the Multiselect to function as a BelongsTo field. |
| `taggable` | Boolean | false | Makes the Multiselet to support tags (dynamically entered values). |
| `clearOnSelect` | Boolean | false | Clears input after an option has been selected. |
| `distinct` | String | Field Attribute | Syncs options between multiple multiselects in the same group and disables the options that have already been used. |
| `indexDelimiter` | String | `', '` | Sets delimiter used to join values on index view |
| `indexValueDisplayLimit` | Number | 9999 | Define how many values can be displayed at once on index view |
| `indexCharDisplayLimit` | Number | 40 | Set char limit for index display value |

## Localization

The translations file can be published by using the following publish command:

```bash
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Outl1ne\MultiselectField\FieldServiceProvider" --tag="translations"
```

You can then edit the strings to your liking.

## Overwriting the detail field

You can overwrite the detail view value component to customize it as you see fit.

Create a new component for `NovaMultiselectDetailFieldValue` and register it in your `app.js`. The component receives two props: `field` and `values`. The `values` prop is an array of selected labels.

```js
// in NovaMultiselectDetailFieldValue.vue




{{ value }}


export default {
props: ['field', 'values'],
};

```

```js
// in app.js

import NovaMultiselectDetailFieldValue from './NovaMultiselectDetailFieldValue';

Nova.booting((Vue, router, store) => {
Vue.component('nova-multiselect-detail-field-value', NovaMultiselectDetailFieldValue);
});
```

## Overwriting the form tag field

You can overwrite the tag template in the form-field component to customize it as you see fit.

Create a new component for `FormFieldTag` and register it in your `app.js`. The component receives two props: `option` and `remove`. The `option` prop is an object with, for example, the `label`.

```js
// in FormFieldTag.vue


{{ option.label.trim() }}

export default {
props: ['option', 'remove'],
};

```

```js
// in app.js

import FormFieldTag from './FormFieldTag';

Nova.booting((Vue, router, store) => {
Vue.component('form-multiselect-field-tag', FormFieldTag);
});
```
