Usage

In order to use the nest tool, it requires a model to use which includes a order column, parent column, amd the display name to be shown in each item. Example is shown above

use Aiman\ThaanaTextField\ThaanaTextField;

    /**
     * Get the fields displayed by the resource.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
     * @return array
     */
    public function fields(Request $request)
    {
        return [
            ID::make()->sortable(),
            
            //other fields
            
            NestTool::make()
             ->usingModel(\App\Models\Topic::class)
             ->slug('slug')
             ->orderColumn('order')
             ->parentColumn('parent_id')
             ->displayName('topic')
             ->disable(false)
        ];
    }

Relationship

the model which is entered into usingModel() function should have this relationship

function parent(){
    return $this->belongsTo('App\Models\Topic', 'parent_id');
}

function children(){
    return $this->hasMany(self::class, 'parent_id')->orderBy('order')->with('children');
}

Model

NestTool::make()->usingModel(\App\Models\Topic::class)

Slug
