Creating models in Laravel Nova

1. Using composer, type 'php artisan make:model Model'

  - Model are named after table in database in singular term. 
  - Eg. users(table) --> User.php (models)
  - Folder: app/Model.php

2. Create the same Model.php in app/Nova

  - Create manually in app/Nova or type 'php artisan nova:resource User' in composer.

3. Validation

  - Required fields: put ->rules('required'),

4. Grouping resources

  - Put 'public static $group = 'Admin';' if you wish to put the model is under Admin heading in the sidebar menu

5. Multi-Tenancy

  - Multi tenancy involves relationship between models
  - For example: 'Store' creates 'Clerk'
  - In laravel (Clerk.php) model, put public function store()
  - In Nova model, put BelongsTo function
  - For example: In Clerk model, put BelongsTo::make('Store')

6. Policies

  - To limit which users may view, create, update, or delete resources.
  - Using composer, type 'php artisan make:policy UserPolicy --model=User'
  - The file will be edited in app/Policies.
