A Laravel Nova tool for Spatie's laravel-permission library

Installation

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

composer require dytechltd/nova-permission

Go through the Installation section in order to setup laravel-permission.

Next up, you must register the tool with Nova. This is typically done in the tools method of the NovaServiceProvider.

// in app/Providers/NovaServiceProvider.php

// ...

public function tools()
{
    return [
        // ...
        \Dytechltd\NovaPermission\NovaPermissionTool::make(),
    ];
}

Next, add middleware to config/nova.php

// in config/nova.php
'middleware' => [
    // ...
    \Dytechltd\NovaPermission\ForgetCachedPermissions::class,
],

Finally, add MorphToMany fields to you app/Nova/User resource:

// ...
use Laravel\Nova\Fields\MorphToMany;

public function fields(Request $request)
{
    return [
        // ...
        MorphToMany::make('Roles', 'roles', \Dytechltd\NovaPermission\Role::class),
        MorphToMany::make('Permissions', 'permissions', \Dytechltd\NovaPermission\Permission::class),
    ];
}

Or if you want to attach multiple permissions at once, use RoleBooleanGroup and PermissionBooleanGroup fields (requires at least Nova 2.6.0):

// ...
use Dytechltd\NovaPermission\PermissionBooleanGroup;
use Dytechltd\NovaPermission\RoleBooleanGroup;

public function fields(Request $request)
{
    return [
        // ...
        RoleBooleanGroup::make('Roles'),
        PermissionBooleanGroup::make('Permissions'),
    ];
}

If your User could have a single role at any given time, you can use RoleSelect field. This field will render a standard select where you can pick a single role from.

// ...
use Dytechltd\NovaPermission\PermissionBooleanGroup;
use Dytechltd\NovaPermission\RoleSelect;

public function fields(Request $request)
{
    return [
        // ...
        RoleSelect::make('Role', 'roles'),
    ];
}

Customization

If you want to use custom resource classes you can define them when you register a tool:

// in app/Providers/NovaServiceProvider.php

// ...

public function tools()
{
    return [
        // ...
        \Dytechltd\NovaPermission\NovaPermissionTool::make()
            ->roleResource(CustomRole::class)
            ->permissionResource(CustomPermission::class),
    ];
}

If you want to show your roles and policies with a custom label, you can set $labelAttribute when instantiating your fields:

// ...
use Dytechltd\NovaPermission\PermissionBooleanGroup;
use Dytechltd\NovaPermission\RoleSelect;

public function fields(Request $request)
{
    return [
        // ...
        RoleBooleanGroup::make('Roles', 'roles', null, 'description'),
        PermissionBooleanGroup::make('Permissions', 'permissions', null, 'description'),
        RoleSelect::make('Role', 'roles', null, 'description'),
    ];
}

Define Policies

// in app/Providers/NovaServiceProvider.php

// ...

public function tools()
{
    return [
        // ...
        \Dytechltd\NovaPermission\NovaPermissionTool::make()
            ->rolePolicy(RolePolicy::class)
            ->permissionPolicy(PermissionPolicy::class),
    ];
}

Usage

A new menu item called "Permissions & Roles" will appear in your Nova app after installing this package.
