Show Repeaters first entry in Table View

I would like to show an entry in the Table View of Component. How can i access this data? This is my repeater:

Forms\Components\Repeater::make('dates')
                            ->label("Termine")
                            ->schema([
                                Forms\Components\Select::make('location')
                                    ->label('Ort')
                                    ->required()
                                    ->relationship('location', 'title'),
                                Forms\Components\DatePicker::make('date')
                                    ->timezone('Europe/Berlin')
                                    ->label("Datum")
                                    ->required(),
                                Forms\Components\TimePicker::make('start_time')
                                    ->timezone('Europe/Berlin')
                                    ->seconds(false)
                                    ->label("Startzeit")
                                    ->required(),
                                Forms\Components\TimePicker::make('end_time')
                                    ->timezone('Europe/Berlin')
                                    ->seconds(false)
                                    ->label("Endzeit")
                                    ->required(),

                            ])
                            ->columns(2)
                            ->defaultItems(1)
                            ->cloneable()

Forms\Components\Repeater::make('dates')
                            ->label("Termine")
                            ->schema([

I'm not sure I completely understand your question, but if you are trying to access data from within the repeater you need to use something like $get(../formField) to go one level up from the repeater If you're trying to access data from outside the repeater, you would use $get('dates') and then that would give you an array of all the repeaters, which you could use a loop to go through and pull data

CodeMaxOP•15mo ago

Thanks for the reply. I would like to use it here in the TABLE VIEW. But sth. like dates[0].date is not working as it cannot read the array here this way

bwurtz999•15mo ago

Oh... I don't know if that is possible Can you explain more about what you are trying to accomplish? There might be a different way to do it

awcodes•15mo ago

->formatStateUsing() you can grab the first item in the array and return it as the state for the column.

CodeMaxOP•15mo ago

@awcodes thanks - can you show me how this is done in my example? I only get an "array to string" conversion error. my dates json field looks like this:

[
    {
        "date": "2023-09-29",
        "end_time": "20:35",
        "location": "21",
        "start_time": "18:34"
    }
]

[
    {
        "date": "2023-09-29",
        "end_time": "20:35",
        "location": "21",
        "start_time": "18:34"
    }
]

In your case $state is the array.

CodeMaxOP•15mo ago

So it should be like this: ->formatStateUsing(fn (string $state): string => __("dates.{$state['date']}")) but is does not return anything @awcodes

awcodes•15mo ago

No. And why are you trying to translate the date? Just return $state[0][‘date’]

CodeMaxOP•15mo ago

Still no return. Is still empty even though there's an entry in the db

awcodes•15mo ago

dd($state) what does it show.

CodeMaxOP•15mo ago

That is the weird part. Errors are executed and shown, but i can not dd nor Debugbar::info() anything a this point. I am within a RelationsManager. Might this be part of the problem?

awcodes•15mo ago

No, it’s still a table Make sure you have the appropriate cast on your model too.

CodeMaxOP•15mo ago

is cast as array the return you sent is missing the dates isn't it?

awcodes•15mo ago

No dates it’s the name of the field. $state is the vale of dates.

CodeMaxOP•15mo ago

Then i get the error Array to string conversion if i name the field "dates"

awcodes•15mo ago

Unless dates is a key in a larger json structure that you aren’t showing.

CodeMaxOP•15mo ago

dates is the name of the repeater Forms\Components\Repeater::make('dates'). see first message

awcodes•15mo ago

Right, but the names of the form field should be the same as the column on your model. And it’s the same for tables.

CodeMaxOP•15mo ago

awcodes•15mo ago

So $state is the value of that column Your form looks fine.

CodeMaxOP•15mo ago

if i name the column dates i get the array to string error

CodeMaxOP•15mo ago

awcodes•15mo ago

So, dd($state[0][‘date’]) I really can’t debug for you. 🙂

CodeMaxOP•15mo ago

i know. but debugging is not working. As i wrote… as soon as i name the TextColumn dates i get the array to string error. If i name it differntly i can not dd... Filament does not let me name the Table Field the same as the Form field... array to string error @awcodes this is working btw:

Tables\Columns\TextColumn::make('dates')
       ->getStateUsing(function ($record) {
           return $record->dates[0]['date'];
       })
       ->label("Datum"),

Tables\Columns\TextColumn::make('dates')
       ->getStateUsing(function ($record) {
           return $record->dates[0]['date'];
       })
       ->label("Datum"),
