Pass the value of navigationLabel to create page

So, I have a Students table and it has a field called gametype, which is basically hidden from the user, its in my SQL Table only. What I have is that multiple types of sports and I am saving their data in the same sql table, so whenever I want to show players in Badminton, I just run a condition and show student with gametype Badminton, so what I want to do is that when I create a record from Badminton resource, I want the create page to know that I am coming from the Badminton page so the value of gametype should be Badminton etc Even better if I can keep that hidden but if I need to put that value in the form builder to have it save in the database, I will just use a disabled input field for it

Solution:

as a closure?

            ->brandName(fn () => auth()->user()->name);

            ->brandName(fn () => auth()->user()->name);

Sorry I'm kind of new to Laravel

Jordy•12mo ago

not an entire duuuump xD.. pinpoint what you want and what you tried.. read the #✅┊rules .. help us help you and what not

Billi 🌻OP•12mo ago

Let me edit this xD Basically the $id needs to have the name of the current logged in user and I want to just dynamically change the name of the dashboard I tried using this too hoping it may just give the ID even but atleast this code doesnt give me an error $id = Auth::id();

Jordy•12mo ago

 ->brandName(auth()->user()->name ?? 'default name')

 ->brandName(auth()->user()->name ?? 'default name')

Otherwise it prob throws user is null on the login screen?

Billi 🌻OP•12mo ago

for some reason the name property doesnt exist, is there a way I can console the auth()->user() to see if it returns anything?

Jordy•12mo ago

ps.. dont use variable when you are just using them directly and dont need them for anything else.. bad practice.. no need for $id or $name ^^ are you logged in? if you are not.. there is no name as there is no user what do you actually want the brandname to be? it beeing different for every user seems odd to me tbh haha

Billi 🌻OP•12mo ago

I am logged in, is it possible its happening because I did the remember me? I can see my dashboard and everything and I see the 'default name' now

Jordy•12mo ago

nah, doesnt change anything about the authenticated user just sets the remember token

Billi 🌻OP•12mo ago

I have a column in my table that has value of their sports club so I want to later on set it as that but keeping it simple to name for now Is it possible that AdminPanelProvider does the authentication later?

Solution

Jordy•12mo ago

as a closure?

            ->brandName(fn () => auth()->user()->name);

            ->brandName(fn () => auth()->user()->name);

Jordy•12mo ago

works for me

Billi 🌻OP•12mo ago

let me check by writing exactly this Oh this worked! I guess I needed the fn call, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! the same can be done for the clubname column? ->brandName(fn () => auth()->user()->clubname);

Jordy•12mo ago

as long it is set, yeah.. just watch out for the login page.. it will throw attempt to read x on null cus there is no auth user on the login page so you would need

            ->brandName(fn () => auth()->user()->clubname ?? 'default name');

            ->brandName(fn () => auth()->user()->clubname ?? 'default name');

so its nullsafe

Billi 🌻OP•12mo ago

Okay, I will do that, thanks alot, sorry for the trouble! Really appreciate it !

Jordy•12mo ago
