# 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'),
    ];
}
