Laravel Nova display user-friendly resource name

Question

Let's say that I have a resource called "Resource_test". When I'm displaying that resource in Nova, that resource name (or "label") displays the name as-is which obviously isn't very user-friendly.

Is it possible to rename the "label" to "Resource Test" (without the underscore for example)?

It seems like they set the name in the file src\Nova.php on the static function resourceInformation but even though I change the name there, it doesn't seem to change the name on the site itself...

You can override the static label method within the resource class like this:

public static function label() {
    return 'Your own label';
}

You'll find your resource classes in the app/Nova directory. Do not confuse these classes with the identically-named models! Adding the label method to the model will not work.

You can take a look at the Nova\src\Resource.php class to view all the options.

How do you reference the resource? So if I want $resource->total to be the title. – Citizen Dec 16 '18 at 22:53
public function __construct($resource) { $this->resource = $resource; } At the constructor, $this->resource is set. Think you can access $this->resource->total ? – Marten van Urk Dec 20 '18 at 10:01
This doesn't work for me, I have overridden the methods label and singularLabel to return my custom name. Is there anything I need to restart for something after doing this ? – Shraddha Banerjee Dec 20 '18 at 13:08

Just in case if you need to provide singular label name for a certain language, override `singularLabel()` static method. – Darmen Amanbay Jan 17 '19 at 22:21
