collapse by default?

[bdelamatre]

Is there a setting to collapse menu items and/or relations by default? I know that my browser will remember these settings, but there are a number of menu groups and resources that I would prefer collapsed by default.

There's currently no setting for this, since it was designed to be a user-specific preference.

Would absolutely love that feature. A small quality of life improvement that goes a long way.

Especially for heavy or rarely relevant relations this would be a really helpful feature. Something like this:

MorphMany::make('Meta')->collapsedByDefault();

[szabizs]

I back this feature also.

[saschaende]

Yes please add collapsedByDefault()

[kusab85]

Yes, I would definitely love this feature too. Both for menu groups and resource relations.

@davidhemphill just a single liner on Collapsable.js. May substitute with this.item.collapsedByDefault as suggested.

  created() {
    this.collapsed = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem(this.localStorageKey)) ?? true;
  },

This way it works as intended (user preference) and gives us some flexibility to set the defaults. In my scenario I have a large sidebar, so if everything is not collapsed, it scrolls and gets ugly.

🚀 In the next release, you will be able to set MenuSection, MenuGroup, HasMany, HasManyThrough, MorphToMany, BelongsToMany, and Panel as collapsedByDefault. This will allow you to set the initial collapsed state if not already set by the user's preference.

Hi @davidhemphill , I'm using nova 4.22.2 version and it seems collapsedByDefault() is not collpasing by default the panel. It only shows an arrow to collapse but it is not collapsed. Is that something that could be fixed? Thanks in advance

[szabizs]

It is working without issues, did you set collapsible() ?

[didix16]

Well, I'm using collapsedByDefault() method that seems is calling collapsable at the same time.
