Help with custom table and modal logic.
hi guys !
I need to build a custom page where I need a custom table that uses a collection instead of a query, the collection will be filled via a modal that shows another table with selectable rows and and search functionality. I need to make some calculations based on the selected rows and then add them to the custom table.
How can I best approach this ? I want to use the compoents that Filament already uses, but I can't find any documentation on how to build using the components library itself like x-tables or x-filament::modal or I just missed it big time.
Apreaciate any help I can get, thanks !

Mmm, interesting, but I will need to be able to manipulate the collection, adding and removing Models, maybe caching it for the user ?
It's possible, I'm doing it on one project but it's worth considering using a regular table, even if it's just to store rows temporarily. You can end up recreating a lot of things that you get for free with a regular table...
