Notify User of unsaved data
Is there easy way to Notify a user of unsaved data? I have datatable with SelectColumn that save on change but just worried that when user is editing on form page that he will think same behaviour is there.

I don't think there's an easy way (like a config) but it shouldn't be too difficult to implement around the Livewire
updated() hook. It would make a cool plugin.Did you ever get anywhere with this?
Any updates from this? I'm also in need of something similar.
Did you try the hook as suggested to see if it fires? If it does then presumably it’s just a case of comparing what is against what was ?
I am not familiar with how the hooks work within filament. Can you give me a quick example? @SirFat
It’s 3:35am here so I cannot, however, it’s not a filament hook rather a live wire one. See: https://livewire.laravel.com/docs/lifecycle-hooks

ah my bad. I am not seeing a way to utilize the
updated hook inside of filament. They only over a few hooks and that is not one of them. At least not on the entire form. I can use it on a per field basis, but that is way too tedious.
I did discover there is a getRawState which returns the current state of the form. So in theory, i should be able to compare the form data, to my eloquent model data and see if there is any changes.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!No problem! If it works out be sure and put a comment on this thread with your solution and mark it as solved 🙂 good luck !
