Custom Datasource

#Caching

Bolt will automatically list the data sources from your app in the form builder as a collection. There is a cache for all collections, so remember to flush the key bolt.datasources

#From Database

Create a custom data source for your forms and make it available as a collection. Datasources are helpful for creating custom collections from different models or an external API.

To create datasource, use the following command, passing the name of the datasource:

1php artisan make:zeus-datasource Car

#Customization

Check out the contract LaraZeus\Bolt\DataSources\DataSourceContract and see all the available methods.

#Disabling

You can turn off any field temporally by adding:

1public bool $disabled = true;

#From Enum

Create a normal enum class and implement LaraZeus\Bolt\Contracts\DataSourceEnum interface, for example:

 1use Illuminate\Contracts\Support\Htmlable;
 2use LaraZeus\Bolt\DataSources\DataSourceData;
 3use LaraZeus\Bolt\Contracts\DataSourceEnum;
 4 
 5enum Status: string implements DataSourceEnum
 6{
 7    case Approve = 'approve';
 8    case Pending = 'pending';
 9 
10    public function getDataSourceLabel(): string|Htmlable|null
11    {
12        return match ($this) {
13            self::Approve => 'approved',
14            self::Pending => 'waiting'
15        };
16    }
17 
18    public static function toDataSourceData(): DataSourceData
19    {
20        return DataSourceData::make(
21                title: __('status'),
22                class: static::class
23            )
24 
25             //disable a source, optional: when configuring the fields you can turn off ability to select this data source.
26             ->disabled(false)
27 
28             //sorting, optional
29             ->sort(1);
30    }
31}
