How do I count the saved elements of a form's Repeater Field in a table column?
In my form I have a Repeater field which saves data as json (cast to array in model). Now I want to show the count of these items from this json column in my table, for example with a TextColumn. How do I achieve that?
If I try with
formatStateUsing...I always get the error Array to string conversion, no matter what I try .Solution:Jump to solution
Maybe try getStateUsing? You should then be able to use a different column name, which doesn't have to exist on the table, and do whatever you need based on the $record ...
```php
TextColumn::make('yourjson_count')
->getStateUsing(Model $record) => count($record->yourjson')),...

Yeah, I haven't thought about getStateUsing... thank you very much, it works now! 😃
