Support for json fields

[C0chett0]

Hi there,

do you have any plan to support nested fields in json for translatable fields ?

For example I have a field in my database stored as json and representing an array of objects. I wish I could add a simple field.*.label to the translatable attribute of my model instead of simply using a base field.

Thanks in advance for the answer. Since I really need this feature, any hint as to how to implement it would be most welcome, and if the solution we reach seems reliable enough maybe we'll open a PR to share our work.

If this can be added without too much complexity, I might accept a PR.

Hi, old stuff... but has this ever been implemented? I don't seem to find in the docs and not able to implement it.

I've gotten it to work by using attribute casting. My issue is that I'm trying to also get it to work with Nova.

Here's my custom accessor/mutator:

public function options(): Attribute
{
    return new Attribute(function ($value) {
        while (is_string($value)) {
            $value = json_decode($value, true);
        }

        return $value;
    }, function ($value) {
        return json_decode($value);
    });
}

It basically requires manually decoding the value.
