How to do IconColumn with reverse boolean?

Usually when I want do do an IconColumn with boolean i just do this

IconColumn::make('is_human_at')
  ->boolean()

IconColumn::make('is_human_at')
  ->boolean()

However i have a column that need the reverse so I tried to do this

IconColumn::make('is_human_at')
    ->label('is_robot')
    ->icons([
        'heroicon-o-check-circle' => fn (?string $state): bool => $state !== null,
        'heroicon-o-x-circle' => fn (?string $state): bool => $state !== null,
    ])
    ->colors([
        'success' => fn (?string $state): bool => $state !== null,
        'danger' => fn (?string $state): bool => $state !== null,
    ]),

IconColumn::make('is_human_at')
    ->label('is_robot')
    ->icons([
        'heroicon-o-check-circle' => fn (?string $state): bool => $state !== null,
        'heroicon-o-x-circle' => fn (?string $state): bool => $state !== null,
    ])
    ->colors([
        'success' => fn (?string $state): bool => $state !== null,
        'danger' => fn (?string $state): bool => $state !== null,
    ]),

However for the 2nd one, only the danger red shows, when it is supposed to be green it does not show at all

as u can see, only the red one shows, not the blue one. I can't just use ->boolean() because what i need is the inverse

Because your condition is same, it check first line and check the second line, the condition is same that's why it shows heroicon-o-x-circle and danger only Try like this

->icons([
    'heroicon-o-check-circle' => fn (?string $state): bool => $state == null,
    'heroicon-o-x-circle' => fn (?string $state): bool => $state !== null,
])
->colors([
    'success' => fn (?string $state): bool => $state == null,
    'danger' => fn (?string $state): bool => $state !== null,
]),

->icons([
    'heroicon-o-check-circle' => fn (?string $state): bool => $state == null,
    'heroicon-o-x-circle' => fn (?string $state): bool => $state !== null,
])
->colors([
    'success' => fn (?string $state): bool => $state == null,
    'danger' => fn (?string $state): bool => $state !== null,
]),

Using this condition, check-circle with success will come if it's null, otherwise x-circle with danger

my bad my code earlier have a mistake I changed to this but it still don't show green, but when is red (danger) it show

IconColumn::make('is_human_at')
    ->label('Is Robot')
    ->icons([
        'heroicon-o-check-circle' => fn (?string $state): bool => $state === null,
        'heroicon-o-x-circle' => fn (?string $state): bool => $state !== null,
    ])
    ->colors([
        'success' => fn (?string $state): bool => $state === null,
        'danger' => fn (?string $state): bool => $state !== null,
    ]),

IconColumn::make('is_human_at')
    ->label('Is Robot')
    ->icons([
        'heroicon-o-check-circle' => fn (?string $state): bool => $state === null,
        'heroicon-o-x-circle' => fn (?string $state): bool => $state !== null,
    ])
    ->colors([
        'success' => fn (?string $state): bool => $state === null,
        'danger' => fn (?string $state): bool => $state !== null,
    ]),

Your is_human_at is boolean column right, then did you casts in model

pocket.racerOP•15mo ago

is_human_at is a nullable datetime column null is false have value is true But my requirement is to do is robot so i need to reverse it instead of do ->boolean() if there is an ->inverseBoolean() method that will make things easier maybe i can have a fake model attribute called is_robot too that inverse is_human_at behind the scene but i would need to think of ensuring sorting still work

so, if null you want red color, if not null green color

pocket.racerOP•15mo ago

my example sound weird bcos i give hypothetical example But in the actual code base the column is employment_pass if employment_pass have value, this person is a foreigner if employment_pass is null, this person is a Citizen When displaying to the users The displayed label is Citizen, but because the underlying database column is employment_pass, i need to inverse it so null i want green colour check (Citizen) not null i want red colour X (Non Citizen because employment_pass have a value) hope the real example makes more sense 😅 if it is not the inverse then ->boolean() would be the easy way i guess i can create a dynamic attribute too using Eloquent accessor method but if i do that i need sorting to still work too

I would suggest using boolean column, I check the code and I cannot get anything when value is null in IconColumn, but you can use placeholder() also when empty

Check this question, and adapt the answer to suit. https://discord.com/channels/883083792112300104/1156331989155188926 Point being, you can use a column name that doesn't exist as a field on the table, and use getStateUsing() to handle the boolean logic. You wouldn't have to set the icons, just return something like is_null($record->employment_pass) from the getStateUsing() closure. Sry, on my phone so I can't write full code for you.
