Show Relation Field on Resource Index

No idea what you mean with not only in the details view but also directly on the index. if you talking about showing it on the indes.blade.php then you surely can.

If you have a relationship in User called roles(), then in your index blade, you just need to do the following:

@foreach($users as $user)
{{ $user->roles }}
@endforeach 

You’ll probably want to foreach through roles too to get $role->name

Oh, sorry I guys. I am talkin about Laravel Nova.

It seems that the "BelongsToMany" relationships are limited in how they get displayed. I've only been able to get them to show on the View Page. I can't get them to show on the Index or Edit pages

I found a solution.

Text::make('Roles', 'roles'),

But it shows a collection because a user hasMany roles.

A hasOne should work.

You can pass a closure to the Text class to return whatever value you need. Example:

Text::make('Roles', function () { return $this->roles->first()->name; }) ->onlyOnIndex(),

@flipjms it gives me 'Object of class Closure could not be converted to a String'. Any idea why is that and how to fix it. I read the Nova doc too but its not working

@FLIPJMS - exactly what I was looking for, thanks

The downside is that is not sortable :(

You can use a BooleanGroup field to list all of the matching relations on the index page. https://nova.laravel.com/docs/4.0/resources/fields.html#boolean-group-field

You can also create a computed field, as example for a HasOne relationship that doesn't appear in the index view:

        Text::make('Name', function () {
            $name = $this->user->name;
            $userId = $this->user->id;
            $userResourceUriKey = User::uriKey();
            $url = "/nova/resources/{$userResourceUriKey}/{$userId}";

            return "<a class=\"link-default\" href='{$url}'>{$name}</a>";
        })->asHtml()
           ->canSee(function ($request) {
                return $request->user()->can('view', $this->user);
           }),
