Turn formatStateUsing into a custom entry

I need the same formatStateUsing on many places across my admin panel so I was thinking that I should create a custom Entry / Input instead. I don't get how I should trigger the formatter in my custom entry. How would a simple entry look like with a custom formatter? Or are there any better solutions for this?

Solution:

then just create one. ```php CustomEntry extends TextEntry...

Just create a helper method somewhere in your app, like a Helpers class, then you can call it where ever you need it in ->formatStateUsing(fn ($state) => Helpers::customFormat($state))

Thank you. Yes, that would work. But it would be cleaner and more clear what it is with new field type.

then just create one.

CustomEntry extends TextEntry
{
  protected function setUp(): void
  {
        parent::setUp();

        $this->formatStateUsing(fn() => do stuff);
  }
}

CustomEntry extends TextEntry
{
  protected function setUp(): void
  {
        parent::setUp();

        $this->formatStateUsing(fn() => do stuff);
  }
}

I tried exactly like that, but the formatStateUsing callback is never called. I only got it to work if I added a custom method that sets the formatStateUsing property

you have to pass the component and state into it. for example:

$this->afterStateHydrated(static function (CustomEntry $component, string|null $state): void {
    if (blank($state)) {
        return;
    }

    $formattedState = do something to state;

    $component->state($formattedState);
});

$this->afterStateHydrated(static function (CustomEntry $component, string|null $state): void {
    if (blank($state)) {
        return;
    }

    $formattedState = do something to state;

    $component->state($formattedState);
});
