Hi guys, newbie here... in a table i would like to pass the selected record to a controller and then perform some operations with the data. Here is what i have When I click on the action button nothing happens

->bulkActions([
                Tables\Actions\BulkActionGroup::make([
                    Tables\Actions\DeleteBulkAction::make(),

                    BulkAction::make('print_label')
                        ->label('print')
                        ->color('success')
                        ->icon('heroicon-o-printer')
                        ->action(function($livewire) {
                            url(route('printlabels', ['options' => $livewire->getSelectedTableRecords()]));
                        })

                ]),
            ]);

->bulkActions([
                Tables\Actions\BulkActionGroup::make([
                    Tables\Actions\DeleteBulkAction::make(),

                    BulkAction::make('print_label')
                        ->label('print')
                        ->color('success')
                        ->icon('heroicon-o-printer')
                        ->action(function($livewire) {
                            url(route('printlabels', ['options' => $livewire->getSelectedTableRecords()]));
                        })

                ]),
            ]);

Thanks for the help!!

this doesn't execute any actions. To proceed, consider implementing a request or redirection to this route.

thanks @Leandro Ferreira, could you pls guide me to implement it ? again i'm pretty green..

url() is a method that just generates a string. You probably need something like return redirect(...)

LeandroFerreira•7mo ago

I think you can use redirect()->action([YourController::class, 'your_method']); if you are using a controller Please check the laravel docs: https://laravel.com/docs/11.x/responses#redirecting-controller-actions

@pgferro here are two options to download PDF files, from our similar project - just not on BulkAction, but on a Table Action, but it should be similar for your case: Option 1: Action with Download

use Barryvdh\DomPDF\Facade\Pdf;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Blade;

// ...

Tables\Actions\Action::make('pdf') 
    ->label('PDF')
    ->color('success')
    ->icon('heroicon-s-download')
    ->action(function (Model $record) {
        return response()->streamDownload(function () use ($record) {
            echo Pdf::loadHtml(
                Blade::render('pdf', ['record' => $record])
            )->stream();
        }, $record->number . '.pdf');
    }),

use Barryvdh\DomPDF\Facade\Pdf;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Blade;

// ...

Tables\Actions\Action::make('pdf') 
    ->label('PDF')
    ->color('success')
    ->icon('heroicon-s-download')
    ->action(function (Model $record) {
        return response()->streamDownload(function () use ($record) {
            echo Pdf::loadHtml(
                Blade::render('pdf', ['record' => $record])
            )->stream();
        }, $record->number . '.pdf');
    }),

Option 2: Redirect to Controller that would do the work

Tables\Actions\Action::make('pdf') 
    ->label('PDF')
    ->color('success')
    ->icon('heroicon-o-document-download')
    ->url(fn (Order $record) => route('pdf', $record))
    ->openUrlInNewTab(), 

// ...

Route::get('pdf/{order}', PdfController::class)->name('pdf'); 

// ...

class PdfController extends Controller
{
    public function __invoke(Order $order)
    {
        return Pdf::loadView('pdf', ['record' => $order])
            ->download($order->number. '.pdf');
    }
}

Tables\Actions\Action::make('pdf') 
    ->label('PDF')
    ->color('success')
    ->icon('heroicon-o-document-download')
    ->url(fn (Order $record) => route('pdf', $record))
    ->openUrlInNewTab(), 

// ...

Route::get('pdf/{order}', PdfController::class)->name('pdf'); 

// ...

class PdfController extends Controller
{
    public function __invoke(Order $order)
    {
        return Pdf::loadView('pdf', ['record' => $order])
            ->download($order->number. '.pdf');
    }
}

thanks @PovilasKorop ! Of course I saw that article 😃 My struggle is to undertsand how to pass the collection instead of a sigle record to the controller. I tried everything I could think without success...

Povilas K•7mo ago

Example from the docs:

BulkAction::make('delete')
    ->requiresConfirmation()
    ->action(fn (Collection $records) => ...

BulkAction::make('delete')
    ->requiresConfirmation()
    ->action(fn (Collection $records) => ...

https://filamentphp.com/docs/3.x/tables/actions#bulk-actions Doesn't work?

@PovilasKorop i have this.

BulkAction::make('print_label')
     ->label('print')
     ->color('success')
     ->icon('heroicon-o-printer')
     ->action(function(Collection $records) {                           
         return view('printlabel', compact('records'));
     })

BulkAction::make('print_label')
     ->label('print')
     ->color('success')
     ->icon('heroicon-o-printer')
     ->action(function(Collection $records) {                           
         return view('printlabel', compact('records'));
     })

and it doesnt work, nothin happens on the click of the action

Povilas K•7mo ago

Because return view doesn't actually return anything - it should be either downloading something or going to another URL. Check my examples above - they don't return view

return response not a view. https://livewire.laravel.com/docs/downloads

Update: we published a snippet on our examples page, but to avoid being too "promotional", here's the main code:

use Barryvdh\DomPDF\Facade\Pdf;
use Illuminate\Support\Collection;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Blade;
 
public static function table(Table $table): Table
{
    return $table
        // ...
        ->bulkActions([
            Tables\Actions\BulkActionGroup::make([
                Tables\Actions\BulkAction::make('Export')
                    ->icon('heroicon-m-arrow-down-tray')
                    ->openUrlInNewTab()
                    ->deselectRecordsAfterCompletion()
                    ->action(function (Collection $records) {
                        return response()->streamDownload(function () use ($records) {
                            echo Pdf::loadHTML(
                                Blade::render('pdf', ['records' => $records])
                            )->stream();
                        }, 'users.pdf');
                    }),
            ]),
        ]);
}

use Barryvdh\DomPDF\Facade\Pdf;
use Illuminate\Support\Collection;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Blade;
 
public static function table(Table $table): Table
{
    return $table
        // ...
        ->bulkActions([
            Tables\Actions\BulkActionGroup::make([
                Tables\Actions\BulkAction::make('Export')
                    ->icon('heroicon-m-arrow-down-tray')
                    ->openUrlInNewTab()
                    ->deselectRecordsAfterCompletion()
                    ->action(function (Collection $records) {
                        return response()->streamDownload(function () use ($records) {
                            echo Pdf::loadHTML(
                                Blade::render('pdf', ['records' => $records])
                            )->stream();
                        }, 'users.pdf');
                    }),
            ]),
        ]);
}
