Issue with search on relation & attribute as select name.

So i got a bit complicated select question:

                Forms\Components\Select::make('ram_id')
                    ->label('Ram')
                    ->relationship('ram', 'select_name')
                    ->required()
                    ->searchable( [ 'animals.country_code', 'animals.registration_number', 'animals.name' ] ),

                Forms\Components\Select::make('ram_id')
                    ->label('Ram')
                    ->relationship('ram', 'select_name')
                    ->required()
                    ->searchable( [ 'animals.country_code', 'animals.registration_number', 'animals.name' ] ),

I want to make an select field which has a relation with the ram relation (hasOne Animal). Where i can search the field based on country_code/registration_number/name. The 'select_name' is an attribute set in the model as followed:

    public function getSelectNameAttribute(): string {
        return $this->country_code . $this->registration_number . ' - ' . $this->name;
    }

    public function getSelectNameAttribute(): string {
        return $this->country_code . $this->registration_number . ' - ' . $this->name;
    }

But with the given code i get the following error, which makes sense but i don't really got a clue on how to solve it.

SQLSTATE[42703]: Undefined column: 7 ERROR: column "select_name" does not exist LINE 1: select "select_name", "id" from "animals" where ("animals"."... ^ (Connection: pgsql, SQL: select "select_name", "id" from "animals" where ("animals"."country_code"::text ilike %nhenk% or "animals"."registration_number"::text ilike %nhenk% or "animals"."name"::text ilike %nhenk%) order by "select_name" asc limit 50)

You cannot search Attributes as they don't exist on DB level Okay, you already figured that out, I think 😅

AugusOP•2y ago

Yea 🙂

Dennis Koch•2y ago

I think it accepts a closure so you could build your own query: ->searchable(fn ($query) => $query->where(...))

AugusOP•2y ago

Gonna try that, but im curious if then still takes the attribute as name But lemme try

Dennis Koch•2y ago

Not 100% sure, searchable is the right method in combination with relationship

AugusOP•2y ago

It says in the docs it's accepted :). But if there is a better way im all ears, fairly new to filament

Dennis Koch•2y ago

I think you can also do: ->relationship('relation', 'title_column', fn ($query) => $query->where())

AugusOP•2y ago

Gonna try that Just curious how the search string is passed ->searchable(fn ($query, $search) => $query->where('name', 'like', "%{$search}%")), doesn't have the $search added While in the docs it says it should xd Unable to resolve dependency [Parameter #0 [ <required> $query ]] in class App\Filament\Resources\MatingResource -,-

ZedoX•2y ago

This is correct However if it still doesn't work out, you can take full control of the search by using the ->getSearchResultsUsing()

AugusOP•2y ago

Yea that does work with searching, but will not show the Attribute name The select will fall back the the name

                    ->getSearchResultsUsing(fn (string $search) => Animal::where('name', 'ilike', "%{$search}%")->limit(50)->pluck('name', 'id'))
                    ->getOptionLabelUsing(fn ($value): ?string => Animal::find($value)?->selectname),

                    ->getSearchResultsUsing(fn (string $search) => Animal::where('name', 'ilike', "%{$search}%")->limit(50)->pluck('name', 'id'))
                    ->getOptionLabelUsing(fn ($value): ?string => Animal::find($value)?->selectname),

Im now doubting to even use a virtual column in the DB

Dan Harrin•2y ago

maybe try getLabelFromRecordUsing()? or whatever the method is

AugusOP•2y ago

getOptionLabelUsing?

Dan Harrin•2y ago

its the fromRecord version

Dennis Koch•2y ago

getOptionLabelFromRecordUsing()

If i search the docs for this, https://filamentphp.com/docs/2.x/forms/fields It also says its better to use a virtual column The more i think about it, thats maybe the way to go. Cause i tried almost every function i could find in the Select Class HOORAY

                Forms\Components\Select::make('ram_id')
                    ->label('Ram')
                    ->required()
                    ->relationship(
                        'ram',
                        'name')
                    ->searchable( ['name'] )
                    ->getOptionLabelFromRecordUsing(fn (Animal $record) => "{$record->country_code}{$record->registration_number} - {$record->name}"),

                Forms\Components\Select::make('ram_id')
                    ->label('Ram')
                    ->required()
                    ->relationship(
                        'ram',
                        'name')
                    ->searchable( ['name'] )
                    ->getOptionLabelFromRecordUsing(fn (Animal $record) => "{$record->country_code}{$record->registration_number} - {$record->name}"),

This works

But still doubting if a virtual column would be better, since im going to need this "select_name" alot

ZedoX•2y ago

Definitely, it's soo much easier with a virtual column
