# Using the field

To add the Filemanager Field to a resource, we can simply add it to the resource's fields method.

use Infinety\Filemanager\FilemanagerField;

/**
 * Get the fields displayed by the resource.
 *
 * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
 * @return array
 */
public function fields(Request $request)
{
    return [
        FilemanagerField::make('Image'),
    ];
}

# Search

Introducing Nova 2 is possible to custom fields to serve images for global search results. We added this feature in Nova Filemanager v2.2 😄

# Field Options

This field has some options to fit your needs.

# displayAsImage

Use this method if you want to have a similiar Image field. This will show an image in index, view, and edit pages.

FilemanagerField::make('Image')->displayAsImage(),

# folder

Use this method to set an initial folder for your field. This method accept Callable or String.

FilemanagerField::make('Image')->folder('users'),

//or

FilemanagerField::make('Image')->folder(function() {
	return auth()->user()->id;
}),

# filterBy

If you want to filter all your files you can use this method. The given data should be a lowercase key of your filters in config/filemanager.php.

FilemanagerField::make('Image')->filterBy('images'),

# privateFiles

By default, the visibility of all uploaded files is public. If you want to upload private files use this method.

FilemanagerField::make('Image')->privateFiles(),

# Chain methods

Of course you can chain methods of the field as your own fits.

FilemanagerField::make('Image')->displayAsImage()->filterBy('images'),

FilemanagerField::make('Image')
	->privateFiles()
	->folder(function() {
		return auth()->user()->id;
	}),
