The documentation about creating custom fields is here:

Could you specify which part is confusing, so maybe we can try to explain?

Hello @KasparRosin ,

I tried to follow as well, but no fields are being displayed for me:

I used the commented-out return values in the above links to create a PageMenuType. After selecting Page Link, I don't see the data, value, or options field.

Here is an example of my file:

<?php

namespace App\Nova\MenuBuilder;

use App\Models\Page;
use Outl1ne\MenuBuilder\MenuItemTypes\BaseMenuItemType;

class PageMenuType extends BaseMenuItemType
{
    public static function getIdentifier(): string {
        return 'page';
    }

    public static function getName(): string {
        return 'Page Link';
    }

    public static function getType(): string
    {
        return 'page';
    }

    public static function getOptions($locale): array {
        return Page::all()->pluck('name', 'id')->toArray();
    }

    public static function getDisplayValue($value, ?array $data, $locale): string
    {
        return 'Page: ' . Page::find($value)->name;
    }

    public static function getEnabledValue($value, ?array $data, $locale): bool
    {
        return true;
    }

    public static function getValue($value, ?array $data, $locale): string
    {
        return $value;
    }

    public static function getFields(): array
    {
        return [];
    }

    public static function getRules(): array
    {
        return [];
    }

    public static function getData($data = null): mixed
    {
        return $data;
    }
}

Thanks

After looking around the repo, I found this: https://github.com/outl1ne/nova-menu-builder/blob/b51d014506b383431a023fe84046e595b2af544a/src/Commands/CreateMenuItemType.php

This indicated to me that there are two types, select and custom. After changing getType() to select, I now see the options field. However, what if I want to add a custom field to store an icon class name? How can I add additional fields? It looks like we can store things in the data column, but I don't see how. I am new to Nova, so if this is obvious and I am missing it... sorry.

Thanks

In case anyone else stumbled here, you set getType to custom and add fields the Nova way. Very nice!

public static function getFields(): array
 {
        return [
            Text::make('Icon', 'icon_class'),
        ];
 }

The attribute will automatically be stored in the data field as an array/json.

Correction: There are 4 total types: custom|text|select|static-url.

Yeah exactly
