Controlling modals in an action

Hi everyone. Does any one know how to control modals when calling a function like update within an action and have the modal NOT close after it does it's thing.

public function notesAction(): Action
    {
        return Action::make('notesAction')
            ->modalHeading('Edit Notes')

            ->fillForm(fn () => $this->fetchNotes())
            ->form($this->getFormFields())
            ->slideOver()

            ->action(fn (array $data) => $this->updateNotes($data));  
    }

public function notesAction(): Action
    {
        return Action::make('notesAction')
            ->modalHeading('Edit Notes')

            ->fillForm(fn () => $this->fetchNotes())
            ->form($this->getFormFields())
            ->slideOver()

            ->action(fn (array $data) => $this->updateNotes($data));  
    }

If the $this->updateNotes($data) errors out, I would like the modal and form to stay open so that the user can fix the issues. Right now it closes no matter the results.

Solution:

Figured it out. Just throw a halt exception, throw new Halt(); in your custom function from the Filament\Support\Exceptions\Halt namespace. In my case, the custom function was modified as:...

Have you tried to use validation instead?

so validation would work however, in this case, the $this->updateNotes method is a call to an api endpoint, which decides if success or not.

Figured it out. Just throw a halt exception, throw new Halt(); in your custom function from the Filament\Support\Exceptions\Halt namespace. In my case, the custom function was modified as:

use Filament\Support\Exceptions\Halt;

public function updateNotes(string $notes)
{
  try {
    // call api endpoint
  } catch (Exception $e) {
    // log
    // notify
    throw new Halt();
  }
}

use Filament\Support\Exceptions\Halt;

public function updateNotes(string $notes)
{
  try {
    // call api endpoint
  } catch (Exception $e) {
    // log
    // notify
    throw new Halt();
  }
}

This prevents the modal from closing.
