Conditionally add and update relations

Currently I got this situation. A user can have only 1 shipping address and only 1 billing address. In Filament's admin panel's user form, admin can change user's info. However I want to set restrictions, so that admin cant give a user >1 address of type shipping, and cant give a user >1 address of type billing. That also implies that when the user already got 1 billing address, the admin can't change that user's shipping address to type=billing. How can something like that be done?

Solution:

Create a policy according to the laravel docs then handle the conditions in each method based on your apps authorization. Filament defaults to Laravel’s policies to handle model authorization. https://laravel.com/docs/11.x/authorization#creating-policies

In most cases you can pass Closures or Callables to filament methods.

Yes. But a more detailed answer please

Please provide some code you are using

Here:

class UserResource extends Resource
{
    protected static ?string $model = User::class;

    public static function form(Form $form): Form
    {
        return $form
            ->schema([
                Forms\Components\Section::make()->schema([
                    // ...
                ]),
                Forms\Components\Section::make()->schema([
                    Forms\Components\Repeater::make('addresses')
                        ->relationship()
                        ->schema([
                            // Todo: can only chose 1 of type shipping and 1 of type billing   <<--------*********
                            Forms\Components\TextInput::make('email'),
                            Forms\Components\TextInput::make('address_line_1'),
                            Forms\Components\TextInput::make('city'),
                            Forms\Components\TextInput::make('zip_code'),
                            Forms\Components\TextInput::make('state'),
                        ])
                        ->addable(false) // Todo: Can only add 1 shipping and 1 billing   <<--------*********
                        ->itemLabel(fn (array $state) => $state['type'])
                ])
            ]);
    }

class UserResource extends Resource
{
    protected static ?string $model = User::class;

    public static function form(Form $form): Form
    {
        return $form
            ->schema([
                Forms\Components\Section::make()->schema([
                    // ...
                ]),
                Forms\Components\Section::make()->schema([
                    Forms\Components\Repeater::make('addresses')
                        ->relationship()
                        ->schema([
                            // Todo: can only chose 1 of type shipping and 1 of type billing   <<--------*********
                            Forms\Components\TextInput::make('email'),
                            Forms\Components\TextInput::make('address_line_1'),
                            Forms\Components\TextInput::make('city'),
                            Forms\Components\TextInput::make('zip_code'),
                            Forms\Components\TextInput::make('state'),
                        ])
                        ->addable(false) // Todo: Can only add 1 shipping and 1 billing   <<--------*********
                        ->itemLabel(fn (array $state) => $state['type'])
                ])
            ]);
    }

Please read #✅┊rules on how to provide code.

This would normally be handled by a laravel policy. Filament is still just laravel under the hood.

atabegruslan•2mo ago

How exactly do you do that? Something more specific please

Thank you

Actually, policy is only half the answer. Normally, you create a policy, then you apply it in controller method, like $this->authorize('action', $modelInstance); But Filament have its own controllers. It doesnt go thru any of the controllers that I wrote. Hence in this situation, how can policy (or any type of pre-saving checks) be done upon the click of the add/delete/edit buttons?

You can add ->authorize() in your action component. In this case, you are using Repeater you can customize addAction by follow with https://filamentphp.com/docs/3.x/forms/fields/repeater ->addAction(fn($action)=> $action->authorize(...
