Overriding BREAD Views

You can override any of the BREAD views for a single BREAD by creating a new folder in resources/views/vendor/voyager/slug-name where slug-name is the slug that you have assigned for that table. There are 4 files that you can override:

• browse.blade.php

• edit-add.blade.php

• read.blade.php

• order.blade.php

Alternatively you can override the views for all BREADs by creating any of the above files under resources/views/vendor/voyager/bread

Overriding submit button:

You can override the submit button without the need to override the whole edit-add.blade.php by extending the submit-buttons section:

@extends('voyager::bread.edit-add')
@section('submit-buttons')
    @parent
    <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary save">Save And Publish</button>
@endsection

Using custom Controllers

You can override the controller for a single BREAD by creating a controller which extends Voyagers controller, for example:

<?php
​
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
​
class VoyagerCategoriesController extends \TCG\Voyager\Http\Controllers\VoyagerBaseController
{
    //...
}

After that go to the BREAD-settings and fill in the Controller Name with your fully-qualified class-name:

You can now override all methods from the VoyagerBaseController​

Overriding Voyagers Controllers

If you want to override any of Voyagers core controllers you first have to change your config file config/voyager.php:

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Controllers config
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here you can specify voyager controller settings
|
*/
​
'controllers' => [
    'namespace' => 'App\\Http\\Controllers\\Voyager',
],

Then run php artisan voyager:controllers, Voyager will now use the child controllers which will be created at App/Http/Controllers/Voyager

Overriding Voyager-Models

You are also able to override Voyagers models if you need to. To do so, you need to add the following to your AppServiceProviders register method:

Voyager::useModel($name, $object);

Where name is the class-name of the model and object the fully-qualified name of your custom model. For example:

<?php
​
namespace App\Providers;
​
use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;
use Illuminate\Events\Dispatcher;
use TCG\Voyager\Facades\Voyager;
​
class AppServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    public function boot()
    {
        Voyager::useModel('DataRow', \App\DataRow::class);
    }
    // ...
}

The next step is to create your model and make it extend the original model. In case of DataRow:

<?php
​
namespace App;
​
class DataRow extends \TCG\Voyager\Models\DataRow
{
    // ...
}

If the model you are overriding has an associated BREAD, go to the BREAD settings for the model you are overriding and replace the Model Name with your fully-qualified class-name. For example, if you are overriding the Voyager Menu model with your own App\Menu model:
