Documentation

Simply add the notes MorphMany relationship to your model and add a field with a type of notes to your fields.yaml to get started.

Example fields.yaml:

fields:
    name:
        label: Name
        span: full

tabs:
    fields:
        notes: # The name of the relationship the FormWidget will use
            label: ''
            tab: Notes
            type: notes
            span: full
            # autosaveDelay: 2000 # The amount of milliseconds to delay after typing stops to trigger an autosave
            # dateFormat: 'Y-m-d H:i:s' # the php date format for updated_at column

Example MorphMany Relationship definition:

public $morphMany = [
    'notes' => [\Winter\Notes\Models\Note::class, 'name' => 'target']
];

Add notes fields to third party plugins

In your custom Plugin.php plugin class, do the following:

<?php namespace MyAuthor\MyPlugin;

use Event;
use System\Classes\PluginBase;
use Winter\Blog\Models\Post;

class Plugin extends PluginBase
{
    public function boot()
    {
        // Extend the Winter.Blog Post model to add the `notes` relationship
        Post::extend(function ($model) {
            $model->morphMany = array_merge($model->morphMany, ['notes' => [\Winter\Notes\Models\Note::class, 'name' => 'target']]);
        });

        // Extend the backend fields to add the notes field
        Event::listen('backend.form.extendFieldsBefore', function ($widget) {
            // Only extend forms for the Post model
            if (!($widget->model instanceof Post)) {
                return;
            }

            // Add the notes field to the form
            $widget->fields = array_merge($widget->fields, ['notes' => [
                'label' => '',
                'tab'   => 'Notes',
                'type'  => 'Notes',
                'span'  => 'full',
            ]]);
        });
    }
}
