Grouping resources

[vyuldashev]

Very desired feature is to group resources into categories. So we could achieve something like on the screenshot.

[antonkomarev]

Must have feature for big projects. Because there are many Models with same name from different packages\namespaces.

[lucasromanojf]

I think this should be applied to Tools too.

[MattMangoni]

Definitely needed :)

[anderly]

Make categories collapsible/expandable, too. Needed to reduce the UI clutter with large apps with lots of resources.

[thatleeguy]

It would be great if we could define the name/title in the resource to override the automatic naming.

$title = 'Library Items';

[MattMangoni]

@thatleeguy isn't that already possible? You can define a label property if I'm not mistaken :)

[thatleeguy]

@MattMangoni Yeah, you are correct. I figured it out.

public static function label() { return 'Library Items'; }

Thanks!

@davidhemphill Any ETA on this?

[shirshak55]

installed 5-6 tools and created own tools now the sidebar looks so messy :( I hope this feature arrvies soon .

[davidhemphill]

Grouped resources landed in the release today.

[laraning]

Hi @davidhemphill , thanks for that ! Can you give us a gist / example how we can work with them?

Thanks.

EDIT: Ok, got it, we pass a "$group" attribute. Still, it works for the main navigation, but not if you are creating a new Tool with resources inside. Has a suggestion it would be nice if the scaffold for the navigation.blade.php already brings that functionality so we can use them in our custom tools too. tks!

Is there an easy way to collapse these groups?

@rocramer, I haven't tried this, but checkout https://novapackages.com/packages/alexbowers/nova-categorise-resources

[ShinHyungJune]

I want it too.

[chescos]

Are there plans to make the groups collapsable? Right now it's a bad UX with 30+ resources since you need to scroll down too much, and then even manually scroll up again after selecting a resource from the bottom.

[fbingha]

(1) Allow us to create other menu items at the same level as Dashboard and Resources.
(2) Allow us to collapse these menu items.

@taylorotwell any update on this?

[tpetry]

You can already group resources by setting the public static $group variable on a resource. But setting an icon for every resource and group would indeed be very helpful.

[tanmuhittin]

For collapsing groups you can use this simple package 👍

[dzymail]

if not override blade template, How to make custom resources menu not as 'Resources' submenu, but as a top level menu? maybe override some variable to do it?

[vesper8]

Is there a way to add an icon to either resources or resource groups ? Can't find anything about this

[omajoor]

is there a way to use the public static $group on a custom tool as well?

[vesper8]

I've been using this package https://github.com/dcasia/collapsible-resource-manager

It gives you absolute control over the sidebar, you can add anything you want.. groups, resources, lens, tools, and arrange them exactly how you want
