Installation

You can install the package in to a Laravel app that uses Nova via composer:

composer require genealabs/nova-prepopulate-searchable

Usage

On any BelongsTo fields in your resources that are searchable(), you can also add prepopulate() to the method chain and the field will be prepopulated with values to choose from.

You may optionally pass through a search query to the prepopulate method, and the keywords passed will be used for the search initially, before resetting the search to being empty (as it currently is).

Limiting Pre-Populated Items

You can limit the prepopulated items by passing in a search string to the prepopulated() method like so:

    BelongsTo::make("Archive")
        ->searchable()
        ->prepopulate("test").

This would prepopulate all archives that have test in their display field.
