Custom setting page with filamentphp

I'm attempting to set up the edit page as the primary view for a filamentphp resource, specifically for managing page settings. These settings will consist of a single data row, and I want to restrict it to only being editable, with no option to create new rows or delete the existing one. Despite my efforts to find a solution, I haven't been able to. I'm open to any pointers, workarounds, or alternative approaches that could help me achieve this. Thanks for your assistance!

Thank you for your question. To get a bit more context, what would be the name of the Model you want the Edit page for? (just trying to get a mental image) is it just Settings?

Yes it's just Settings
tuto1902
tuto1902•17mo ago
Ok, so I'll assume the model class name is Settings? When you say there's only a single data row, does that mean that the settings table (associated to the Settings model) only has a single record?

Yes, it will contain content like website name, contact, address etc, so there can't be multiple rows for it

Ok. It sounds like you don't really need a whole Resource class to edit the Settings. Sounds more like you just need a custom Page. when you create a custom page with php artisan make:filament-page Settings, it will create a navigation item for you

Yes can work with page plus livewire component

The new page itself is a full page livewiere component. And, you can implement the HasForms contract to use Filament's form builder inside this page.

I managed to make it up to here, but the problem came again filling the form with the database data, I did use fill() method on the form but it prevents me from editing the data since it keeps refreshing with the database data once I start typing

Interesting...

Would you mind sharing the code for the Page class you created? you can use three back ticks and then php to share code 
public function myCode() {
  // Share your code
}
public function myCode() {
  // Share your code
}

I think in this case, it would be better to fill the form in the mount() method of the Page class instead of calling the ->fill() method directly in the form schema 
public function mount(): void
{
    $this->form->fill($this->getSetting()->toArray());
}
public function mount(): void
{
    $this->form->fill($this->getSetting()->toArray());
}

i did try, but was getting some that I can't use before instantiating the form,
tuto1902
tuto1902•17mo ago
That's strange. This is how the official documentation recommends adding a form to a component. For our purposes, we can replace Component with Page https://filamentphp.com/docs/3.x/forms/adding-a-form-to-a-livewire-component#adding-the-form
Adding a form to a Livewire component - Form Builder - Filament

I have been referencing the docs trying to solve it but the problem has persisted, maybe I should try updating the filamentphp for now
tuto1902
tuto1902•17mo ago
That's a good idea.

Updating filamentphp and using this solved the problem 
public function mount(): void
{
    $this->form->fill($this->getSetting()->toArray());
}
public function mount(): void
{
    $this->form->fill($this->getSetting()->toArray());
}
