Add default values on fields when creating

[wfeller]

Would it be possible to add a default value on fields? This value would be used only when creating.

Something like this maybe:
Field::make('My field')->defaultValue('some value')

You can pass this by $attributes in Model
Example: Project/app/Booking.php

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Booking extends Model
{
    protected $attributes = [
        'status' => 'pending',
        'price' => 0,
        'commission' => 0,
    ];
}

also like this:

Text::make( 'vsn')->rules('required', 'max:64', 'unique:vendors,vsn,{{resourceId}}')
->withMeta(
[
'value' => (function () {
return $this->vsn ?? 2;
})(),
]
),

Also if you need method calls you can set it on the resource

public static function newModel()
{
    $model = new static::$model;
    $model->setAttribute('user_id', auth()->id());
    return $model;
}

You can pass this by $attributes in Model
Example: Project/app/Booking.php

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Booking extends Model
{
    protected $attributes = [
        'status' => 'pending',
        'price' => 0,
        'commission' => 0,
    ];
}

Where in the nova source does this get read?

@notflip when nova instantiates a model, those values come pre-filled
