So I have added fields to nova with the displayUsing() method which I am using to trim down the string to shorten it. I want to shorten it only on the index/table view and not on the show. Currently what I have is this:
Text::make('data')
->displayUsing(function ($text) {
if (strlen($text) > 30) {
return substr($text, 0, 30) . '...';
}
return $text;
}),
Which is correct and I can successfully trim the text down to 30 characters but this applies to all view including show. How can I not trim the show method and just the index?
For anyone asking, Nova has methods where you can show a specific field on a specific page (index, update etc). So just use the onlyOnIndex() to show the above trimmed code and onlyOnDetail() to show it on the detail page without the displayUsing method
