Using existing Resource for the relation manager of another resource

Can I reuse a complete resource for the relation manager within another resource? So I don't have to define everything again?

Nevermind found this: https://github.com/filamentphp/demo/blob/main/app/Filament/Resources/Shop/CategoryResource/RelationManagers/ProductsRelationManager.php If I have that same relation anywhere else I can better put the Relation in a more general folder I guess? In my case I have Riders which can have users. I have a rider resource and user resource, I managed to re-use the user form and table in the relation manager, by using the example above. But the user resource has some custom creation stuff like (in the App\Filament\Resources\UserResource\Pages\CreateUser page)

    protected function afterCreate(): void
    {
        /** @var User $user */
        $user = $this->record;

        $user->notify(new NewAccountNotification());
    }

    protected function afterCreate(): void
    {
        /** @var User $user */
        $user = $this->record;

        $user->notify(new NewAccountNotification());
    }

I was expecting this to be triggered in the relation manager also, but its not? The notification could also be triggered on the created event of an user of course but I dont want users which register on the frontend to receive this e-mail.

check the relation manager docs. we have ->after() methods for doing that there when you call a form and table from a relation manager, thats the only thing that gets changed. the page-specific customisations are independent

Ah ok! So for now the best is to duplicate the logic? To the after method too

It’s php, you can decouple/refactor it anyways you want, and call it wherever you need

Yea of course I can create an Action or something its more like I have to remember to call it on both places
