Tools & technologies for Nova development
Nova Resource Configuration
We configure Nova resources for Eloquent models—defining fields, relationships, and authorization rules in PHP classes.
- Resource Class Generation – Run php artisan nova:resource to scaffold resource classes that define how Eloquent models appear in Nova, including fields, cards, filters, and actions.
- Field Definitions – Configure form and detail fields using Nova’s field types—Text, Textarea, Select, Boolean, Date, File—mapping directly to model attributes with automatic validation.
- Relationship Fields – Display and manage Eloquent relationships through BelongsTo, HasMany, BelongsToMany, and MorphMany fields that handle attaching, detaching, and creating related records.
- Computed Fields & Formatting – Add computed fields that display calculated values, format data for presentation, or show aggregated information from relationships without modifying database structure.
- Authorization Integration – Apply Laravel authorization policies to resources, controlling which users can view, create, update, or delete records based on custom business rules.
- Resource Indexing & Display – Configure which fields appear in list views, detail pages, and forms, with column ordering, hiding, and custom display logic for different contexts.
Vue Component Development
Our developers build custom Vue.js components for Nova—specialized form fields, tools, and dashboard cards using the Vue 3 framework.
- Custom Field Components – Build Vue.js form fields for specialized inputs like color pickers, markdown editors, or custom selectors that integrate with Nova’s reactivity and validation systems.
- Custom Tool Development – Create standalone Vue tools accessible from Nova’s sidebar navigation for specialized administrative functions beyond standard resource management.
- Dashboard Card Components – Develop custom dashboard cards displaying metrics, charts, recent activity, or external API data using Vue components with Nova’s card API.
- Resource Tool Integration – Build Vue components that appear on resource detail pages, adding custom functionality like approval workflows, document viewers, or specialized data editors.
- Vue 3 Composition API – Leverage Vue 3’s Composition API for building maintainable, reusable components with reactive state management and lifecycle hooks for complex Nova extensions.
- Inertia.js Integration – Work within Nova’s Inertia.js stack for seamless server-side and client-side communication, handling form submissions and data fetching without full page reloads.
Actions & Queued Workflows
We create custom, resource-triggered actions like multi-step workflows, bulk operations, and report generation, with queue support for long tasks.
- Standalone & Bulk Actions – Create actions that run on single records or multiple selected resources, executing custom business logic like approvals, status updates, or notifications.
- Destructive Action Confirmation – Require user confirmation before executing critical actions, displaying custom warning messages and requiring explicit approval before processing destructive operations.
- Action Fields & User Input – Collect additional data through action fields before execution—comments, dates, options—validating input and passing values to action logic for dynamic behavior.
- Queued Action Processing – Push long-running actions to Laravel queues, preventing UI freezes during bulk operations, report generation, or external API calls with progress tracking.
- Action Authorization – Control action visibility and execution based on user permissions and resource state, ensuring only authorized users can trigger specific workflows.
- Action Response Handling – Display success messages, redirect users, download generated files, or show custom modals after action completion, providing clear feedback for completed tasks.
Metrics & Analytics Dashboards
Curotec builds Nova metrics displaying trends, values, and partitions from Eloquent queries with customizable calculations and time ranges.
- Trend Metrics – Display data trends over time with line charts showing growth, decline, or patterns in metrics like user signups, revenue, or activity levels.
- Value Metrics – Show single numeric values with comparison indicators—total users, current MRR, pending orders—with optional prefix/suffix formatting and trend arrows.
- Partition Metrics – Visualize data distribution across categories using pie or donut charts, showing breakdowns like order status, user types, or product categories.
- Custom Query Logic – Build metrics from complex Eloquent queries, aggregations, or raw SQL that calculate business-specific KPIs beyond simple model counts.
- Time Range Filtering – Add date range selectors to metrics letting users view data for specific periods—today, this week, this month, custom ranges—with automatic query adjustments.
- Metric Caching Strategies – Cache expensive metric calculations to improve dashboard load times, with configurable cache durations based on data volatility and query complexity.
Filters, Lenses & Search
We implement custom filters for quick data segmentation, lenses for specialized views, and global search across multiple resource fields.
- Custom Filter Classes – Build filters that let users segment data by status, date ranges, relationships, or custom criteria with dropdown, select, or boolean interfaces.
- Lens Development – Create specialized resource views with custom Eloquent queries, showing targeted data subsets like “Active Subscriptions” or “Overdue Invoices” with their own columns and filters.
- Global Search Configuration – Enable search across multiple resource fields simultaneously, with weighted relevance, relationship searching, and custom query logic for accurate results.
- Scout Integration – Integrate Laravel Scout for full-text search using Algolia, Meilisearch, or database drivers, providing fast, typo-tolerant search across large datasets.
- Filter State Persistence – Maintain filter selections in URL parameters so users can bookmark, share, or return to filtered views with their selections intact.
- Relationship Filters – Filter resources based on related model attributes—show orders by customer type, products by category—with automatic join handling and query optimization.
Authorization & Multi-Tenancy
Our team sets up Laravel policies for field-level permissions and enables tenant isolation with automatic query scoping.
- Policy-Based Authorization – Apply Laravel authorization policies to Nova resources, controlling view, create, update, and delete permissions based on user roles and custom business rules.
- Field-Level Permissions – Show or hide specific fields based on user permissions, protecting sensitive data like financial information or internal notes from unauthorized viewing or editing.
- Action Authorization – Restrict which users can execute specific actions on resources, ensuring only authorized personnel can approve, delete, or trigger critical workflows.
- Multi-Tenant Architecture – Configure Nova to scope all queries by tenant automatically, ensuring users see only their organization’s data with middleware-based tenant resolution.
- Tenant Switching Interfaces – Build admin interfaces allowing authorized users to switch between tenant contexts for support or management purposes with audit logging.
- Shared vs. Isolated Databases – Implement tenant isolation using shared databases with tenant columns or completely separate databases per tenant, with Nova configured for either approach.
FAQs about our Laravel Nova development
How do you help us choose between Nova and Filament?
We consider your team’s skills (Vue vs. Livewire), budget, customization needs, and maintenance plans. Nova suits revenue-generating products where its cost justifies a polished UI and dedicated support. Filament fits budget-conscious projects or teams preferring PHP-only development. We recommend based on your specific situation, not vendor preference.
Can you migrate our existing admin to Nova?
Yes. We analyze your current admin interface, map functionality to Nova resources, rebuild custom features using Nova’s components and Vue tools, and migrate data structures if needed. Most migrations take 4-8 weeks depending on complexity and custom functionality requiring Vue component development.
Can you build custom Vue components for Nova?
Yes. When Nova’s default fields, tools, or metrics don’t fit your workflows, we develop custom Vue components—specialized form inputs, unique dashboard cards, or administrative tools. Our developers work within Nova’s Vue 3 and Inertia.js architecture to extend functionality while maintaining the polished interface.
What if we outgrow Nova's capabilities?
Nova handles most admin requirements. If you need functionality beyond its architecture, we can integrate custom Laravel controllers, build standalone tools, or suggest architectural changes. Limitations usually involve specialized interfaces where custom development is better than forcing Nova patterns.
Do you handle complex authorization?
Yes. We implement field-level permissions, dynamic authorization based on record state, custom policy logic for multi-tenant scenarios, and role-based access that goes beyond Nova’s defaults—using Laravel’s authorization system to handle complex business rules.
Can you add Nova to our existing application?
Yes. Nova installs as a Laravel package into existing projects without restructuring code. We configure resources for your Eloquent models, integrate with existing authentication, apply authorization policies, and customize the interface to match your workflows.
