Relationship collapsed state not stored anymore

[rderks88]

• Laravel Version: 10.48.27
• Nova Version: 5.2.1
• PHP Version: 8.2

Description:

Laravel nova 4 used to remember the "collapse-state" of the relationships of entities.
After upgrading to Laravel nova 5, it does not do that anymore.

Detailed steps to reproduce the issue on a fresh Nova installation:

• Create an entity with a hasMany / belongsToMany relationship.
• Populate both entities
• Go to the detail page of the "parent" entity.
• Collapse the relationship view
• Refresh the page
• The relationship opens non-collapsed

Extra info

• I removed all my local storage and cookies before testing.
• It DOES create a new local storage entry with the collapsed state, e.g. "nova.resources.ingredients.ingredients.collapsed", it doesn't "listen" to this local storage entry though.
• A collapsed Panel field DOES still maintain it's state after a page refresh (on the contrary to a relationship)
  • As do nav items and so on

Did you explicitly set the relationship field as collapsable(), without specifically setting the option Nova 5 now will not remember the state after page change/refresh.

Perfect, that must be the case then. That behaviour changed from Nova 4 if I'm not mistaken. We never needed to define Collapsable for that.
I can confirm that WHEN defined as collapsable, it DOES listen to the local storage defined state.
Thank you for clarifying.

Anyone, who prefers the default "collapsable" behaviour.
We have a "baseResource" abstract class, that every Nova resource of ours extends.
We just added this method there. A bit of overhead, but saves us a LOT of ->collapsable() repetition.

@crynobone Don't take this the wrong way. We completely understand that the default behaviour is non-collapsable.
We just really like the collapsable functionality and we don't see any downside to it for our usecase.

/**
 * We prefer the default behaviour to be that everything is collapsable.
 * Therefore, we override each field to be collapsable by default if that is available.
 */
public function availableFields(NovaRequest $request): FieldCollection
{
    $availableFields = parent::availableFields($request);
    
    $availableFields->each(function ($field) {
        if (method_exists($field, 'collapsable')) {
            $field->collapsable();
        }
    });

    return $availableFields;
}

❤ Loving Nova and the major 5 update ❤
