Nova Resource Patterns

Build consistent Nova resources that mirror domain models and evolve safely.

Fields

• Keep fields ordered: identifiers → primary attributes → relations → meta
• Use ->sortable()/->filterable() where it delivers value
• Hide sensitive fields (e.g., tokens) from index/detail unless necessary
• Prefer BelongsTo/HasMany/Morph* relations with searchable constraints

Authorization

• Use Nova policies mirroring model policies for viewAny, view, create, update, delete
• Avoid leaking existence via unauthorized search; scope queries

Actions

• Keep actions idempotent or provide safeguards
