How to use Laravel Nova to create a powerful administration panel



Image not found!!

Laravel Nova is a powerful administration panel for Laravel applications, designed to simplify the process of building custom administration panels. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you get started with Laravel Nova:

Step 1: Install Laravel Nova

  1. 1. Make sure you have a Laravel project set up.

  2. 2. Visit the Laravel Nova website and purchase a license.

  3. 3. After purchasing, you'll receive a download link. Download Nova and follow the installation instructions provided in the documentation.


Step 2: Configure Nova

  1. 1. Once installed, register Nova as a service provider in your config/app.php file:

    php
    'providers' => [
    // ...
    Nova\NovaCoreServiceProvider::class,
],


  2. 2. Publish the Nova assets and configuration file:

    bash
    php artisan nova:install


  3. 3. Configure your Nova installation by editing the config/nova.php file. You can customize settings such as the path, resources, and authentication guard.


Step 3: Create Resources

  1. 1. Nova uses "resources" to represent data models in the administration panel. To create a resource, use the following command:

    bash
    php artisan nova:resource YourModel

  2. This will generate a resource file in the Nova directory. Customize the fields and actions in this file to define how your model is presented in the Nova panel.


Step 4: Register Resources

  1. Register your Nova resources in the NovaServiceProvider located at app/Providers/NovaServiceProvider.php. Add the resources to the register method:

    php
    protected function resources()
{
    Nova::resources([
        \App\Nova\YourModel::class,
    ]);
}


Step 5: Customize Nova

  1. 1. Nova provides various tools for customization. Explore the NovaServiceProvider for additional configuration options.

  2. 2. You can customize the Nova dashboard by modifying the resources/views/vendor/nova/dashboard.blade.php file.

Step 6: Secure the Admin Panel

  1. By default, Nova uses the nova guard. Ensure that your users are authenticated using this guard. You can modify the config/nova.php file for authentication configuration.
