Using Placeholder giving error.

I am getting error "Call to a member function toFormattedDateString() on null" . This is fine because my form is not submitted to create record yet. But I am not very good in Filamentphp. How to use below then. Any specific code I can make an entry so i dont get this error.

 Placeholder::make('created')
    ->content(fn (CompanyAvailableForSalesProfileModel $record): string => $record->created_at->toFormattedDateString())

 Placeholder::make('created')
    ->content(fn (CompanyAvailableForSalesProfileModel $record): string => $record->created_at->toFormattedDateString())

Solution:

Thanks @Ashk . I did minor change in your second code which was giving error. I used below

Placeholder::make('created')
    ->content(fn (?Model $record): string => $record?->created_at->toFormattedDateString() ?? '-')

Placeholder::make('created')
    ->content(fn (?Model $record): string => $record?->created_at->toFormattedDateString() ?? '-')

. And it is working like a charm. Thanks to you....

PS: I replace your fqcn Model to have something shorter in my exemple If you want completely hide the component

Placeholder::make('created')
    ->hidden(fn (?Model $record) => is_null($record))
    ->content(fn (?Model $record): string => $record?->created_at->toFormattedDateString())

Placeholder::make('created')
    ->hidden(fn (?Model $record) => is_null($record))
    ->content(fn (?Model $record): string => $record?->created_at->toFormattedDateString())

If you want a fallback

Placeholder::make('created')
    ->content(fn (?Model $record): string => $record?->created_at->toFormattedDateString() ?? '-')

Placeholder::make('created')
    ->content(fn (?Model $record): string => $record?->created_at->toFormattedDateString() ?? '-')
