How to show only a single icon or boolean on an array column in table view

A record may have multiple files uploaded that are stored in DB column attachments as an array. In the table list I want to show a single icon if the record has any attachments at all. However, the code below shows a list of icons for each of the item of the array in the attachments column.

Tables\Columns\IconColumn::make('attachments')->icon('heroicon-o-photo'),

// The same is with boolean, please see the attached screenshot
Tables\Columns\IconColumn::make('attachments')->boolean(),

Tables\Columns\IconColumn::make('attachments')->icon('heroicon-o-photo'),

// The same is with boolean, please see the attached screenshot
Tables\Columns\IconColumn::make('attachments')->boolean(),

Hey Dima, yeah I had weird issues like that too. It's possible to use workarounds :

 Tables\Columns\IconColumn::make('created_at')
                ->label('Has Attachments')
                ->icon(function ( $record) {
                    return $record->attachments->count() ? 'heroicon-s-photo' : null;
                }),

 Tables\Columns\IconColumn::make('created_at')
                ->label('Has Attachments')
                ->icon(function ( $record) {
                    return $record->attachments->count() ? 'heroicon-s-photo' : null;
                }),

Notice I intentionally used different column like 'created_at' otherwise if you use 'attachments' it will still render an icon for each count

Nice, thank you so much

You could also use

->getStateUsing(fn ($record) => $record-
>attachments()->count() > 0)`

->getStateUsing(fn ($record) => $record-
>attachments()->count() > 0)`

or even better, just load the attachments_count instead of loading all the attachments just to check whether they exist.
