How to find out currently checked Checklist boxes?

EDIT FROM THE FUTURE: In retrospect this is related to the inconsistency of results when using $get in different parts of the code - even withing the same field for example you will get a different result for dd($get('cars') when using in ->action() and a different one when using in ->visible(). My guess it's because of different life times they are employed, but this is super frustrating. I don't know how to get the current value of my checkbox list. When I do:

dd($get['cars'])

dd($get['cars'])

I will get a list of keys and values. But I don't know which checkbox is toggled on. how to see the real what-I-actually clicked list of items?

If it’s in the array it’s checked.

Well, this is strange, I am getting:

Cannot use object of type Filament\Forms\Get as array

Cannot use object of type Filament\Forms\Get as array

when trying dd($get['cars']) The same dd($get('cars')) doesn't work the same in visible() and in action(). In action it is completely ignored for some reason and show every checkbox available, not only the checked ones:

Forms\Components\Actions::make([
    Forms\Components\Actions\Action::make('customstuff')
        ->action(function (Forms\Get $get, Forms\Set $set) {
            dd($get('cars')); // doesn't work; will contain even unchecked
        })
    // ->visible(fn (Get $get): bool => dd($get('cars'))) // works; shows only checked
]),

Forms\Components\Actions::make([
    Forms\Components\Actions\Action::make('customstuff')
        ->action(function (Forms\Get $get, Forms\Set $set) {
            dd($get('cars')); // doesn't work; will contain even unchecked
        })
    // ->visible(fn (Get $get): bool => dd($get('cars'))) // works; shows only checked
]),

This inconsistent behavior is super frustrating and not what I would expect. Probably, as I said earlier, something to do with when those methods are being executed - so, perhaps action() is triggered before the checkboxes are even being filled so it shows me everything. And perhaps visible() fires later in the lifecycle when checkboxes are checked correctly based on what is saved in the DB ? It would be cool to have some "await" like possibility so I could use $get('cars') even in action(). Because currently I can't. Or if I can, let me know how. There is nothing on Google how to do that.

I think the action is fired when you click submit then you can get the cars using array $data

->action(function (array $data) {
            dd($data['cars'])
        })

->action(function (array $data) {
            dd($data['cars'])
        })

I am getting undefined array key for some reason, but will check my code one more time.

jaocero•9mo ago

just dd the $data and you can get the checked values

WirkhofOP•9mo ago

I am getting an empty array [] for dd($data)

jaocero•9mo ago

then there is no currently check cars

WirkhofOP•9mo ago

No, I have already prechecked stuff that is saved in db and repopulaed and also I checked manually a few things. I can't bring $form in action for some reason as well I am using Checkbox List I can't do even $form in action() as well https://discord.com/channels/883083792112300104/1218076957976170506 I absolutely don't get it why I can't get $data nad $form in action()

                ]),

this is how I usually use the array data maybe there is a misconfiguration idk but array $data is works perfectly fine for me I can get all data from the form itself before saving it the database

WirkhofOP•9mo ago

Well, you have it up top I have my action on a button.

jaocero•9mo ago

doest matter array $data will get all data from your form can you share your full code?

WirkhofOP•9mo ago

Maybe it's Tabs. I will put it outside of tabs and check there

jaocero•9mo ago

if you don't share your code how can any other member here solve your problem and help you

WirkhofOP•9mo ago

What are you saying? I am sharing code. I am not available 24/7 every second

jaocero•9mo ago

bruhh

WirkhofOP•9mo ago

wait thanks for now

jaocero•9mo ago

you just share this dd($get['cars']) how can anyone to expect to help you if you don't show your full code and analysze what is wrong

WirkhofOP•9mo ago

Here is the code:

class CarResource extends Resource
{
    protected static ?string $model = Car::class;

    public static function form(Form $form): Form
    {
        return $form
            ->extraAttributes(['id' => 'car-form'])
            ->schema([
                Section::make('')
                    ->extraAttributes(['class' => 'car-form-buttons'])
                    ->schema([
                        Forms\Components\Actions::make([
                            Forms\Components\Actions\Action::make('customstuff')
                                ->action(function (array $data) {
                                    dd($data);
                                })
                        ])
                    ]),

            ])

class CarResource extends Resource
{
    protected static ?string $model = Car::class;

    public static function form(Form $form): Form
    {
        return $form
            ->extraAttributes(['id' => 'car-form'])
            ->schema([
                Section::make('')
                    ->extraAttributes(['class' => 'car-form-buttons'])
                    ->schema([
                        Forms\Components\Actions::make([
                            Forms\Components\Actions\Action::make('customstuff')
                                ->action(function (array $data) {
                                    dd($data);
                                })
                        ])
                    ]),

            ])

I should get something, but $data is an empty array after dd, so [].
