[object Object] shows as default in Repeater->simple(TextInput)

Hi, like the title say ... I have no idea why its doing that. Its a repeater->simple() which is into a getSteps() method, into a Create{ResourceName} class (extends CreatedRecord) Help would be really appreciated 🙂

I feel like you are using it wrong:

Repeater::make('answers')
  ->simple(TextInput::make('title')->required())
  ->relationship('answers')
  ->columnSpanFull()
  ->defaultItems(0)
  ->hiddenLabel(),

Repeater::make('answers')
  ->simple(TextInput::make('title')->required())
  ->relationship('answers')
  ->columnSpanFull()
  ->defaultItems(0)
  ->hiddenLabel(),

It can't be used for creating a resource ? Like I need to have a relationship filling the Repeater ?

BlackShadow•15mo ago

You don't have to use relationship The repeater component allows you to output a JSON array of repeated form components. We recommend that you store repeater data with a JSON column in your database. Additionally, if you're using Eloquent, make sure that column has an array cast.

ChriisOP•15mo ago

Ok, so I'm not using it wrong

BlackShadow•15mo ago

Maybe you need to cast the column to JSON or something 🤔

ChriisOP•15mo ago

I have a SheetResource, which can have a json array of objectives. So in the SheetResource creation form I have this Repeater->simple() which take one objective by line.

BlackShadow•15mo ago

Show code

ChriisOP•15mo ago

For visualizing where is this Repeater, I have described it in the post description

BlackShadow•15mo ago

Remove the cast try again

ChriisOP•15mo ago

Same ... And also, the context doesn't matter here, since I have the same problem anywhere I put a Repeater->simple()

BlackShadow•15mo ago

Let me try

ChriisOP•15mo ago

BlackShadow•15mo ago

// ProfileResource
Forms\Components\Repeater::make('examples')
  ->simple(Forms\Components\TextInput::make('name'))
  ->columnSpanFull(),

// ProfileResource
Forms\Components\Repeater::make('examples')
  ->simple(Forms\Components\TextInput::make('name'))
  ->columnSpanFull(),

// Migration
$table->json('examples')->nullable(); // ["asdasd", "asdad", "asdad"]

// Migration
$table->json('examples')->nullable(); // ["asdasd", "asdad", "asdad"]

// Profile Model
protected $casts = ['examples' => 'array'];

// Profile Model
protected $casts = ['examples' => 'array'];

BlackShadow•15mo ago

Test data

BlackShadow•15mo ago

Just works 😛

Vp•15mo ago

Check in create, not edit.. In edit working fine, in create it shows like OP

BlackShadow•15mo ago

ooh You are right Creating works too? But if you dont have ->defaultItems(0) it shows Object object indeed. 🤔

BlackShadow•15mo ago

Vp•15mo ago

Yes this one prevent this error tho.. so @Chriis you can put "defaultItems" for time being.. haha

BlackShadow•15mo ago

Thats what i said squint

ChriisOP•15mo ago

Yeah it works, but I thought we could have an empty input 😦 But no problem I'm going to use this

BlackShadow•15mo ago

I don't think it can ever be empty. Make sure to make a bug report if there is not one already.

ChriisOP•15mo ago

Well if not it should be clearly displayed in the documentation Because its confusing

BlackShadow•15mo ago

You can actually, my bad. Just not for relationships i think 👍

Vp•15mo ago

I'll check and if I can fix I'll create a PR and inform here again

ChriisOP•15mo ago

Ok thx a lot

ChriisOP•15mo ago

Nice, but what happened to the PR ? It has been closed for your remark on the documentation but you did actually fixed the "[Object Object]" bug in it right ?

BlackShadow•15mo ago

Not sure why its closed

ChriisOP•15mo ago

I think its because he also talk about the output of the repeater->simple() which is not like described in the documentation, and Dan is right about this. However, Dan missed the main topic of the PR which is the bugfix for "[Object Object]" and not the documentation "problem" ... 😑

BlackShadow•15mo ago

Maybe you can ping him 👀

ChriisOP•15mo ago

@Dan Harrin

BlackShadow•15mo ago

Or respond to the Ticket.

Dan Harrin•15mo ago

Theres not enough detail, i dont know what the problem is what does the data in the database look like

BlackShadow•15mo ago

If you have a json column named examples and you just follow the docs:

Repeater::make('examples')
    ->simple(
        TextInput::make('name')
            ->required(),
    )

Repeater::make('examples')
    ->simple(
        TextInput::make('name')
            ->required(),
    )

When creating a new resource with that field it will show Object object See my example Im not sure what causes this but i tried to replicate hes issue and i got the same 😜

Dan Harrin•15mo ago

so the issue is only to do with default() ? and its not an issue with data in the database being loaded back into the form

BlackShadow•15mo ago

Only when creating i would say. Yea

Dan Harrin•15mo ago

well when creating, it saves into the database correctly so its a problem with default

BlackShadow•15mo ago

Yea yea thats what i meant.

Dan Harrin•15mo ago

and this is why i closed it, that detail was not mentioned anywhere

BlackShadow•15mo ago

I see Im not sure what VP mentioned and if he actually fixed it.

Dan Harrin•15mo ago

well that code affects both defaults and Edit so i will need to test it myself

BlackShadow•15mo ago

Alrighty 🙂 Let me know if you need any more info 😛

Vp•15mo ago

Will try to look more..

Marcellin•14mo ago

Is there a fix yet? For the meantime set ->default([""]) (array with an empty element)

ChriisOP•14mo ago

Idk if @Vp had time to look more into it, I'm also waiting for it 😦

Vp•14mo ago

Sorry guys, i cannot figure out the root problem, i just submitted an issue https://github.com/filamentphp/filament/issues/8874 This is another trick instead of default item 0

Repeater::make('examples')
    ->simple(
        TextInput::make('examples.name')
            ->required(),
    )

Repeater::make('examples')
    ->simple(
        TextInput::make('examples.name')
            ->required(),
    )
