Htmlable label - illegal offset type

Hello, everyone. I'm having a little problem with label(). My goal would be to replace the label text with a small image (a google logo). The problem is that when I try to use a new HtmlString as the label value, it returns an error like ‘Illegal offset type’ no matter what I enter. As soon as I enter a normal string instead, everything is fine. I also found this example online:

->label(fn() => new HtmlString('I accept the <a class="underline" href="/terms" target="_blank">terms and conditions</a>'))

->label(fn() => new HtmlString('I accept the <a class="underline" href="/terms" target="_blank">terms and conditions</a>'))

but I can't figure out what the problem is. Is it possible that it does work only on Forms? Thank you all very much for your support 😄

Solution:

@Dennis Koch I solved the problem: in AppServiceProvider I created this function: ``` protected static function translateLabel(Field|Column $element): string...

This works for me:

Tables\Columns\TextColumn::make('name')
  ->label(fn () => new HtmlString('<b>test</b>'))

Tables\Columns\TextColumn::make('name')
  ->label(fn () => new HtmlString('<b>test</b>'))

Can you share the error (via Flare) for more infos? And the actual code you are using?

Hi Dennis, thanks for replying. I don't have a Flare account sadly, I attached a screenshot of the error. Here's the code of the column:

TextColumn::make('propertyFree.metric.google_news')
    ->label(fn () => new HtmlString('<b>test</b>'))
    ->state(function ($record) : View  {
        $bool = $record->propertyFree->metric && $record->propertyFree->metric->google_news ? true : false;
        return view(
            'filament.tables.publication.columns.check',
            ['bool' => $bool],
        );
    })
    ->toggleable(),

TextColumn::make('propertyFree.metric.google_news')
    ->label(fn () => new HtmlString('<b>test</b>'))
    ->state(function ($record) : View  {
        $bool = $record->propertyFree->metric && $record->propertyFree->metric->google_news ? true : false;
        return view(
            'filament.tables.publication.columns.check',
            ['bool' => $bool],
        );
    })
    ->toggleable(),

It's pretty much standard. This is a Livewire component which has Filament forms & table. Everything works has a charm, except this.

You return a view as the state. I think that’s the issue. State is a value

Ok, I'll look into that 🤔 thank you Dennis! Sadly, also with this kind of code:

IconColumn::make('test')
    ->label(fn() => new HtmlString('<b>test</b>'))
    ->boolean()
    ->toggleable(),

IconColumn::make('test')
    ->label(fn() => new HtmlString('<b>test</b>'))
    ->boolean()
    ->toggleable(),

It returns the same error. I'm working on already-done code, so I'm trying to understand what's happening 😅 @Dennis Koch could it be that I have this in the AppServiceProvider?

Field::configureUsing(function (Field $field){
    $field->translateLabel();
});

Column::configureUsing(function (Column $column) {
    $column->translateLabel();
});

Field::configureUsing(function (Field $field){
    $field->translateLabel();
});

Column::configureUsing(function (Column $column) {
    $column->translateLabel();
});

EDIT: Yes, I commented the code above and now it works without problems, but I really need the labels to be automatically translated without me writing it 😅

@Dennis Koch I solved the problem: in AppServiceProvider I created this function:

protected static function translateLabel(Field|Column $element): string
{
    $label = $element->getLabel();

    if($label instanceof HtmlString){
        return $label;
    }

    return __($label);
}

protected static function translateLabel(Field|Column $element): string
{
    $label = $element->getLabel();

    if($label instanceof HtmlString){
        return $label;
    }

    return __($label);
}

and then:

Field::configureUsing(function (Field $field){
    self::translateLabel($field);
});

Column::configureUsing(function (Column $column) {
    self::translateLabel($column);
});

Field::configureUsing(function (Field $field){
    self::translateLabel($field);
});

Column::configureUsing(function (Column $column) {
    self::translateLabel($column);
});

For now it's working 😄 thanks for your input!
