Access model data on delete action

I have an odd use case where my model is a remote API resource via calebporzio/sushi. Everything is working great from editing, creating, viewing -- but not deleting. For editing I'm utilizing EditAction::make()->using which references a method on my model that performs the update via API. For delete however, I can't find a way to pass any data of the actual model being deleted so that I can facilitate this on my own on the backend. DeleteAction::make()->after() does not appear to be passed the same $data array as the EditAction. Can anyone think of a different way to go about accomplishing this? Working:

Tables\Actions\EditAction::make()->using(function (Model $record, array $data): Model {
    \App\Models\Rule::updateRecordAPI($data);
    return $record;
}),

Tables\Actions\EditAction::make()->using(function (Model $record, array $data): Model {
    \App\Models\Rule::updateRecordAPI($data);
    return $record;
}),

Nothing passed:

Tables\Actions\DeleteAction::make()->after(function (array $data){
    dd($data);
})

Tables\Actions\DeleteAction::make()->after(function (array $data){
    dd($data);
})

Solution:

dose the delete actually happen only in sushi or you need to call an api? I would create another action and not using the defualt DeleteAction and debug from there...

the delete can happen anywhere really I was just keeping it in the model under a custom method

Lara Zeus•12mo ago

you mentioned "model is a remote API", so your model is not holding any actuall data right?

pepperoni dogfartOP•12mo ago

right it just queries a remote API and returns a mock model of it

pretty much how this is setup: https://filamentphp.com/community/how-to-consume-an-external-api-with-filament-tables

so that is why dont use the DeleteAction since it will call ->delete() on the model use another action call it (remote delete) and you can call the needed method after or before

I can try a custom action, was trying to find docs where you make those actually

there is action for table,form,infolist etc make sure to use the correct one

pepperoni dogfartOP•12mo ago

Haven't made one of these before, how do you go about passing the data from the model to the action when you edit/delete?

Tables\Actions\Action::make('RemoteDelete')
  ->label('Delete')
  ->color('danger')
  ->action(function (array $data) {
      dd($data);
})

Tables\Actions\Action::make('RemoteDelete')
  ->label('Delete')
  ->color('danger')
  ->action(function (array $data) {
      dd($data);
})

$data I believe is just the modal form, so that would likely work on edit but I need to pass an ID of what's being deleted so that I can process it

$record ?

pepperoni dogfartOP•12mo ago

yeah that works, make sense. Was trying to find it on https://filamentphp.com/docs/3.x/actions/advanced

Awesome! almost there. The record gets deleted, now I need to tell filament that the action was successful I think. Nothing happens on the GUI end after the progress spinner shows up

Lara Zeus•12mo ago

look in the notification docs, this is the easiest part 🙂

pepperoni dogfartOP•12mo ago

yeah wasn't sure that was the correct way, added a notification in the action now need to refresh the data as the last step I think ah looks like it does it now after notification, it didn't before that was added sweet, thanks for all the help!
