Backend events

By default, clicking the button will trigger a backend event via ajax.

Default event: NovaButton\Events\ButtonClick

The event will receive the resource model it was triggered from & the key

  • $event->resource = model
  • $event->key = "notify"

Adding a custom key

Button::make('Notify', 'notify-some-user')

Adding a custom event

Button::make('Notify')->event('App\Events\NotifyRequested')

You register listeners in your EventServiceProvider

Nova Routes

You can also choose to navigate any of the Nova routes

Button::make('Text')->route('vuejs-route-name', ['id' => 1])
Button::make('Text')->index('App\Nova\User')
Button::make('Text')->detail('App\Nova\User', $this->user_id)
Button::make('Text')->create('App\Nova\User')
Button::make('Text')->edit('App\Nova\User', $this->user_id)
Button::make('Text')->lens('App\Nova\User', 'users-without-confirmation')

You can also enable a resource's filters

Button::make('Text')->index('App\Nova\Order')->withFilters([
    'App\Nova\Filters\UserOrders' => $this->user_id,
    'App\Nova\Filters\OrderStatus' => 'active',
])

Links

Button::make('Text')->link('https://nova.laravel.com')
Button::make('Text')->link('https://nova.laravel.com', '_self')

Visiblity

You will likely want to show or hide buttons depending on model values

Button::make('Activate')->visible($this->is_active == false),
Button::make('Deactivate')->visible($this->is_active == true),

Also field authorization via canSee() & showing / hiding fields hideFromIndex(), etc

Reload

After events are triggered, reload the page.

Button::make('Notify')->reload()

If you click many buttons, reloading will wait for all buttons to finish.

If an error occurs, it will not reload the page.

Confirm

You can require a confirmation for descructive actions

Button::make('Cancel Account')->confirm('Are you sure?'),
Button::make('Cancel Account')->confirm('title', 'content'),

Button state

When using events, you want visual feedback for the end user.

This is especially useful for long running listeners.

Button::make('Remind User')->loadingText('Sending..')->successText('Sent!')
Event Text Style
loading loadingText('Loading..') loadingStyle('grey-outline')
success successText('Done!') successStyle('success')
error errorText('Failed') errorStyle('danger')

Defaults defined in the nova-button config. Add methods when you want to change for specific resources

Button styles

This package makes use of tailwind-css classes / default: link

Button::make('Confirm')->style('primary')
Fill Outline Link
primary primary-outline primary-link
success success-outline success-link
danger danger-outline danger-link
warning warning-outline warning-link
info info-outline info-link
grey grey-outline grey-link

Each key adds classes from the nova-button config

'primary' => 'btn btn-default btn-primary'

Style config

Publish the nova-button config to add / edit available styles & defaults

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=nova-button -- force

Button classes

You can also add classes manually

Button::make('Refund')->classes('some-class')

Also able to style the following css classes

.nova-button
.nova-button-{resource-name}
.nova-button-success
.nova-button-error
.nova-button-loading

Example

Use lenses with buttons for a very focused user experience

lens-button

<?php

namespace App\Nova\Lenses;

class UsersWithoutConfirmation extends Lens
{
    public static function query(LensRequest $request, $query)
    {
        return $query
            ->select(['users.id', 'users.name'])
            ->whereNull('email_verified_at');
    }

    public function fields(Request $request)
    {
        return [
            ID::make('ID', 'id'),
            Text::make('Name', 'name'),
            Button::make('Mark As Confirmed'),
        ];
    }
}

Register a listener for \NovaButton\Events\ButtonClick in your EventServiceProvider

<?php

namespace App\Listeners;

class ConfirmUser
{
    public function handle($event)
    {
        if ($event->key == 'mark-as-confirmed') {
            $event->resource->email_verified_at = now();
            $event->resource->save();
        }
    }
}

No key check required when you register an event for this listener

Button::make('Confirm')->event('App\Events\ConfirmClick')
