I want to make a special create view to create invoices. Is there any way how i can create a custom create view?
I saw the tools to create a custom tool. But it's still based on the make:fields, so it seems there is no possibility to create a custom create and detail view, isn't it?
PS Okay, i think i will just have to create a custom .vue component for it and write the whole logic in a separate controller, right?
What exactly do you want? I mean, if you want to create an invoice for a certain resource, use Resource Tools. If you want to make a tool that has some views and does something more complex, create a Tool.
Taylor covered it in his Laracon talk. Your Tool doesn't have to be a single Vue component. You can use the full power of Vue and Laravel there.
@crnkovic I want to create a custom create and detail view, like this example
So i now created a new Tool and i am writing now my custom view in my vue components with it's custom logic.
Is this the right way to do it?
currently that holding me back for using nova. no ability for custom form layouts or hint text's
I'm pretty much in the same boat, any solution to this?
