Money Field for Laravel Nova

A custom money field for a Laravel\Nova application I am working on. The default Currency field provided by Nova didn't quite cut the mustard for me so ended up creating this.

• Works with minor units (both updating and displaying)
• Displays the amount with the correct currency sign and in the proper locale format
• Adds the currency sign to the create/update field

Installing

You can install the package into your Nova application via composer:

compser require Jam0r85/nova-money

Using

In your nova resource file, add the following into your Fields method:

use Jam0r85\NovaMoney\Money;

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

Options

You can optionally add the column name to be used if different from the display name as per any Nova field:

Money::make('Price', 'price_column');

The default currency is GBP but can be changed per field using currency()

Money::make('Price')->currency('USD');

The default locale is the one set as per the Laravel config('app.locale') file but can be changed per field using locale()

Money::make('Price')->locale('en_US');

By default we assume you are storing values as minor units (eg. £100 = 10000p) but you can change this with notMinor()

Money::make('Price')->notMinor();

This will automatically format all entered values into minor units so remember to remove any laravel set/get attribute methods on your models!

Advanced

The defaults loaded for this package (Currency, Locale, etc) are loaded within the 'loadDefaults' method within src\Money.php
