How to extend/modify an existing Laravel Nova field?

Question

I'd like to modify the Code component of Laravel Nova. For example in the file: vendor/laravel/nova/resources/js/components/Detail/CodeField.vue

I'd like to modify the config object near the bottom, specifically, I'd like to change the following line to false :

indentWithTabs: true,

How would I go about modifying this value and having it persist with the ephemeral nature of the vendor folder?

I do not think that you can "modify" an existing Field, but you can create the same Field containing the same logic, and adding your customizations as described here .

You can also check if you're able to extend a custom field and override it - as described here .

You could also try to apply this change in the root repository and check if the maintainers of nova will apply this change.
