Action that changes value in Form

When the action Accept is pressed, the dropdown in the form should change to "Yes"

class EditExpense extends EditRecord
{
    protected static string $resource = ExpenseResource::class;

    protected function getActions(): array
    {
        return [
            Actions\DeleteAction::make(),
            Action::make('accept')
                ->color('success')
                ->label('Accept')
                ->disabled(!auth()->user()->can('status_expense'))
                ->requiresConfirmation()
                // ->action(function (Status $record, array $data): void {
                //     $record->author()->where('name', 'Yes')->first()->id;
                //     $record->save();
                // })
                // ->mountUsing(fn (Forms\ComponentContainer $form, User $record) => $form->fill([
                //     'status' => Status::where('name', 'Yes')->first()->id,
                // ]))
                ,
            // Action::make('reject')
            //     ->color('danger')
            //     ->label('Reject')
            //     ->action('rejectAction')
            //     ->disabled(!auth()->user()->can('status_expense')),
        ];
    }

}

    protected static string $resource = ExpenseResource::class;

So far, when I click accept nothing happens If i use this

                ->action(function (Status $record, array $data): void {
                    $record->author()->where('name', 'Yes')->first()->id;
                    $record->save();
                })

                ->action(function (Status $record, array $data): void {
                    $record->author()->where('name', 'Yes')->first()->id;
                    $record->save();
                })

Then I get this error App\Filament\Resources\ExpenseResource\Pages\EditExpense::App\Filament\Resources\ExpenseResource\Pages{closure}(): Argument #1 ($record) must be of type App\Models\Status, null given,

Dan Harrin•14mo ago

you need to get the status from $data $record doesnt exist yet

Matthew•14mo ago

But, im on the edit page. Doesnt that mean that a record exist?

Dan Harrin•14mo ago

you can use $this->record

Matthew•14mo ago

    protected function getActions(): array
    {
        return [
            Actions\DeleteAction::make(),
            Action::make('accept')
                ->color('success')
                ->label('Accept')
                ->disabled(!auth()->user()->can('status_expense'))
                ->requiresConfirmation()
                ->action(function (Status $record, array $data): void {
                    $this->record->where('name', 'Yes')->first()->id;
                    $record->save();
                }),
        ];
    }

    protected function getActions(): array
    {
        return [
            Actions\DeleteAction::make(),
            Action::make('accept')
                ->color('success')
                ->label('Accept')
                ->disabled(!auth()->user()->can('status_expense'))
                ->requiresConfirmation()
                ->action(function (Status $record, array $data): void {
                    $this->record->where('name', 'Yes')->first()->id;
                    $record->save();
                }),
        ];
    }

like this?

Dan Harrin•14mo ago

->action(function (array $data): void {
    $this->record->where('name', 'Yes')->first()->id;
    $this->record->save();
})

->action(function (array $data): void {
    $this->record->where('name', 'Yes')->first()->id;
    $this->record->save();
})

Its still giving an error

Matthew•14mo ago

using phpmyadmin/tinker I can verify that the "Yes", exists

> use App\Models\Status
> Status::all()->pluck('name','id');
= Illuminate\Support\Collection {#8132
    all: [
      2 => "No",
      3 => "Pending",
      4 => "Yes",
    ],
  }

> use App\Models\Status
> Status::all()->pluck('name','id');
= Illuminate\Support\Collection {#8132
    all: [
      2 => "No",
      3 => "Pending",
      4 => "Yes",
    ],
  }

Dan Harrin•14mo ago

please read my code carefully you did not copy it

Matthew•14mo ago

you're right. I still had the previous copy Could you please explain why we use $data in this case and not $record?

Dan Harrin•14mo ago

we only pass $record to the action in some places. mainly table actions. we should probably pass it in all places, but it will always be identical to $this->record on edit/view pages

Matthew•14mo ago

But now, how do we know that we are changing the value of a Select in the form? figured it out:)

                ->action(function (array $data): void {
                    $this->record->status = Status::where('name', 'Accepted')->first()->id;
                    $this->record->save();
                }),

                ->action(function (array $data): void {
                    $this->record->status = Status::where('name', 'Accepted')->first()->id;
                    $this->record->save();
                }),

Sorry for asking so many questions Dan but I dont have a lot of experience with Laravel/Filament or PHP
