Icon

· A simple field, that will show the fontawesome icon using the field value as icon name

Create your ExportField

You can create your own Export Fields by just extending any of the previous fields, or the main Sidecar\ExportFields\ExportField

The ExportField has the function toHtml($row) that is the one that will display the value when in the browser, when exporting to CSV it will use the getValue($row) so you can customize both.

It is common to override the getFilterKey() with something like non-filterable to avoid collisions with the common fields, in the case of this Preview file, would collide with the Id field as it is the one to use in the link

Widgets

A report can define a set of widgets to summarize what is being displayed (not paginated) so when it is not grouping it will show them. Right now there are just two possible widgets

Dashboard

Sidecar also comes with nice dashboard panels that can be embeded into any page

You just need to create one by extending the Revo\Sidecar\Panel and define the dimesion and the metric You need to pass the filters to apply to this report.

You can implement the getFullReportLink() to link to a full report Note $filters->getQueryString() returns the query string to use for the url

Finally you can render them in your blade with something like this

This dashboard panels will be cached until the next day, and will be loaded with ajax.

Panel Type

There are different types of Panels defined by the enum PanelType, bar, list, trend (default), and pie

class TopPaymentMethods extends Panel
{
    ...

    public PanelType $type = PanelType::pie;

    ...
}
