What is "not set" in this context? NULL in the database?

jouni.iOP•14mo ago

yes we convert old laravel project to use filaments.. and old database is lot off rows where valid_from is null, we need inform users somehow about this..

Something like this?

->formatStateUsing(function ($state) {
    if (is_null($state)) {
        return 'Something';
    }
    
    return $state;
})

->formatStateUsing(function ($state) {
    if (is_null($state)) {
        return 'Something';
    }
    
    return $state;
})

->default('not set') ?

Not sure if default() applies in the context of a List but something to try

So in this case, it's a choice between default() and placeholder(). Personally I would go for placeholder().

Ooo i didn't know about placeholder, time to refactor my code
