backpack-helper

This package intends to provide a friendlier interface while using Backpack CRUD, by makes use of laravel's facade.

According to the way Backpack\Crud works, this package rely the trailing method to perform the magic. Currently these compulsory trailing methods are:

• public function toField($extraConfigToBeMerged = []): CrudPanel
• public function toColumn($extraConfigToBeMerged = []): CrudPanel
• public function toFilter($extraConfigToBeMerged = []): void

All other methods return the current instance $this. In order to perform method chain, refer class source code for api, example:

CrudColumn::init(string $label, ?string $name = null, $priority = null): self
CrudField::init(string $label, ?string $name = null, $width = null): self

There is a 2-steps plan:

• To include all Backpack CRUD columns, fields, and filters
• To merge the helper classes into one.

These is no test written, yet.
