Add simple page / form to Nova

I would like to be able to add a simple page to Nova with the following simple specs:

  • displays a standard Laravel view
  • Has a menu item on the left sidebar
  • Displays within the Nova context (i.e., right content area)

Creating a tool package with all the accompanying cruft is overkill for what I need.

If by a "Standard Laravel View", you mean Blade, I don't see a way where that's feasible since Nova is a Vue SPA. I think the only (overkill... way more overkill than a Nova tool) way that it would work is if you would add a custom sidebar menu item and completely reproduce Nova's UI in a Blade view that you would have entire control on.

What do you need to do and why using a tool is overkill? I get the fact that creating a local package might seem overkill at first, but on the devs end, it's a really straight forward and easy experience (but it for sure demands Vue knowledge for it to be easy).

Also, knowing what you need to achieve might give us an idea of an existing package or way to develop what you need.
