README

An auto-completing Laravel Nova search field.

Provides a capability of auto-completed searching for results inside a select input field.

Installation

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

composer require techouse/select-auto-complete

Usage

The API is extends Nova's default Select Field by adding these additional options:

• default - OPTIONAL - Set the default value in case of an empty field. Default is null.
• maxResults - OPTIONAL - Number of results to show at a time. Has to be a positive integer. Default is 30.
• maxHeight - OPTIONAL - Height of select dropdown list. Default is 220px.
• displayUsingLabels - OPTIONAL - List only the labels of the options list. Default is disabled and displays keys and labels.
• placeholder - OPTIONAL - Use a custom placeholder.

Simply use SelectAutoComplete class instead of Select directly or alias it like the example below so you won't have to refactor too much existing code.

            Select::make(__('Person'), 'person')
                  ->options(\App\Person::all()->mapWithKeys(function ($person) {
                      return [$person->id => $person->name];
                  }))

            Select::make(__('Partner'), 'partner')
                  ->options(\App\User::all()->pluck('name', 'id'))
                  ->placeholder('Pick a name') // use a custom placeholder
                  ->displayUsingLabels()       // display only the labels od the options list
                  ->default(7)                 // set the default to the User with the ID 7
                  ->maxResults(5)              // limit the dropdown select to a max of 5 hits
                  ->maxHeight('100px')         // limit the dropdown to a max height of 100px
                  ->required()                 // make the field required
        ];
    }
