Laravel Nova - How to display partial textarea text on index

Question

Is there a way to display the first 25 chars of a Laravel\Nova\Fields\Textarea on the index of a Resource?

Answer 1

We had the same problem and we solved it like this

Text::make('Text *', 'text')
            ->rules('required')
            ->hideFromIndex(),

Text::make('Text','text')
    ->displayUsing(function($id) {
        $part = strip_tags(substr($id, 0, 25));
        return $part . " ...";
    })->onlyOnIndex(),

hope this helps.
