Fieldtypes

Runway provides a couple of fieldtypes, mostly for things like Eloquent relations.

BelongsTo fieldtype

Screenshot of BelongsTo fieldtype

This fieldtypes allows you to select a single model for a belongsTo Eloquent relationship.

Configuration

It’s important that when configuring this fieldtype, the handle of the field is the same as the belongsTo column name, eg: category_id.

Also when configuring the fieldtype, you may choose the resource you wish to be available for selection by the user.

HasMany fieldtype

This fieldtype allows you to select multiple models for a hasMany or morphedByMany Eloquent relationship.

Fun fact: You can use the HasMany fieldtype anywhere - in Runway resources, entries, taxonomies, you name it!

Configuration

It’s important that when configuring this fieldtype, the handle of the field is the same as the name of the hasMany relationship, eg: authors.

Also when configuring the fieldtype, you should choose the resource you wish to be available for selection by the user.

Additional configuration

  • Eager Loading: Using the with configuration option, you may specify any relationships you want to be eager loaded when the fieldtype is augmented.
  • Title Format: Using the title_format configuration option, you may specify a title format to be used when viewing related results in the CP. You should use Antlers in this setting. (eg. {{ first_name }} {{ last_name }})

Table Mode

Runway's Has Many fieldtype includes a special 'Table mode'. Essentially, it lets you manage your related models but in a table, so you can see more information about each of the selected models.

Table Mode

You may enable Table mode when configuring your 'Has Many' field.
