Best way to customize the views?

[isometriq]

Is there a way I could modify the login form, header or sidebar to apply custom visuals/features ?

I can see that Encore\Admin\Layout\Content renders the view admin::content
Do you know if I can override the view?

Thinking about extending the Content class and override...

[isometriq]

Alright! I've found the most clean way I think...
For instance I wanted to override the header.

I've created the folder resources/views/vendor/admin and that's where I will put the same file structure as the package in vendor/encore/laravel-admin/views.

So, for the header, I've copied the file vendor/encore/laravel-admin/views/partials/header.blade.php into vendor/encore/laravel-admin/views/partials/header.blade.php. Then I can modify my copy and it is the file that will be used!

Just found the docs about this feature
https://laravel.com/docs/5.4/packages#views

Use app('view')->prependNamespace('admin', resource_path('views/admin')); to override the bulitin views.

Ok, I did not know this method. Seems to allow deciding a specific folder instead of using resource/views/vendor/admin. Good to know.

"Use app('view')->prependNamespace('admin', resource_path('views/admin')); to override the bulitin views." - Which file we need to use this?

Also is there any way to add custom JS for each field, like on date change [ date of birth, I will calculate age ], tirgger js code?

I don't know why people simply can't give complete answers, instead spilling a single code line like everybody knows how everything in this project connects and expecting us to magically know where to put it.

Anyway, I managed to find this in the chinese docs, and translated it with Google Translate.

Summary of common problems

Override the built-in view

If you need to modify the view yourself, but it is not convenient to directly modify the laravel-admin situation, you can use the following solution
Copy vendor/encore/laravel-admin/views to the project's resources/views/admin and add the code to the app/Admin/bootstrap.php file:

app('view')->prependNamespace('admin', resource_path('views/admin'));

How to customize the form view only for some routes like pages/1/edit ?

Thanks for your tip @leandroeidi, I tested it and it worked, I was able to customize the Login page and the Dashboard overwriting. In this way I managed to version these source codes

In the new folder version this hierarchy worked for me.
app('view')->prependNamespace('admin', resource_path('views/admin/views'));
