Filament::navigation and permissions

I am creating my navigation inside a ServiceProvider with Filament::navigation callback, by adding custom groups. - How can I prevent showing NavigationItems based on the current user? - I am using resource getNavigationItems() methods as well. Why is this not taking the policies into account? Example:

Filament::navigation(function (NavigationBuilder $builder): NavigationBuilder {
    return $builder
        ->items([
            NavigationItem::make('Dashboard')
                ->icon('heroicon-o-home')
                ->isActiveWhen(fn (): bool => request()->routeIs('filament.pages.dashboard'))
                ->url(route('filament.pages.dashboard')),
        ])
        ->groups([
            NavigationGroup::make()->label('Content')->collapsed()->items([
                ...ArticleResource::getNavigationItems(),
            ])
        ]);
});

Filament::navigation(function (NavigationBuilder $builder): NavigationBuilder {
    return $builder
        ->items([
            NavigationItem::make('Dashboard')
                ->icon('heroicon-o-home')
                ->isActiveWhen(fn (): bool => request()->routeIs('filament.pages.dashboard'))
                ->url(route('filament.pages.dashboard')),
        ])
        ->groups([
            NavigationGroup::make()->label('Content')->collapsed()->items([
                ...ArticleResource::getNavigationItems(),
            ])
        ]);
});

Only add them to the array if the user has permissions?

bernhardOP•2y ago

ok, so there is no build in logic? Because when just using the resources, the permissions are respected and users only see resources they are allowed to see

Dennis Koch•2y ago

No, I don't think there is some Closure magic for this part.

bernhardOP•2y ago

and there is even no ->visible method 😦

Dennis Koch•2y ago

Yeah, it's not that sexy, but just use if conditions and an array 😅

ah ok, its because this check is in another method:

    public static function registerNavigationItems(): void
    {
        if (! static::shouldRegisterNavigation()) {
            return;
        }

        if (! static::canViewAny()) {
            return;
        }

        Filament::registerNavigationItems(static::getNavigationItems());
    }

    public static function registerNavigationItems(): void
    {
        if (! static::shouldRegisterNavigation()) {
            return;
        }

        if (! static::canViewAny()) {
            return;
        }

        Filament::registerNavigationItems(static::getNavigationItems());
    }
