Bulk actions which is only visible when 2 rows are selected

I'm trying to make a bulk action appear only when 2 table rows are selected. I'm using the visible function to try and achieve this: ->visible(fn ($livewire) => $livewire->selectedTableRecords == 2) But this livewire array always seems to be empty no matter how many rows are selected? I'm stuck, please help.

Have you tried just accessing the collection?

->visible(fn (Collection $selectedRecords) => $selectedRecords->count() == 2)

->visible(fn (Collection $selectedRecords) => $selectedRecords->count() == 2)

I’m sure I’m wrong but seems like

count($livewire->getSelectedTableRecords())

count($livewire->getSelectedTableRecords())

Might be what you are after.

Thanks for the suggestions, I just found this from Dan: https://discord.com/channels/883083792112300104/1088344527745585182 looks like the PHP array is never updated and is only stored in the JS. With $selectedRecords the code errors as it is always null when first called. ($selectedRecords) must be of type Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Collection, null given Is it possible to access the Filament JS?

I'm looking for a solution to this, too. It seems difficult to get the selected records upon a change in row selections. I'm going to take a close(r) look at the built-in bulk actions to see if they offer anything like this (like restoring/trashing deleted resources).

Let me know if you find anything. I’ve hit a brick wall with this and can not find a solution

I found a solution, but not the one I was looking for. I basically did the same thing as the built-in force delete and restore actions do, which relies on the presence of a filter. So, in my case, I have a multi-select filter with different states: pending, approved, and rejected. I examine the filter and only allow the various actions, depending. It's only when the pending filter is present that the approve/reject actions are enabled, for example. Ideally, I would get all of the selected items and examine them to decide what should be allowed, but I haven't figured out how to do that yet, if it's even possible. 🤷‍♂️

Can you share your bulk action code?

Sure. Keep in mind that this is using a multi-select filter, where the user can choose any combination of three states: pending, approved, and rejected. I changed a few names and added some comments to try to help.

It gets the table's filter state for a filter named, "state", which may be confusing at first. 😅 Then, it looks to see if it has "values". If you have a normal select filter, then this would be "value", I believe. Then, for my logic, I want to check to see if only the "pending" state is selected. If so, then this is when I want to make the "approve" bulk action visible. You may have different logic. For the bulk "revert" action, for example, I want it to be visible if the user has selected either the "approved" state or the "rejected" state. Let me know if you have any questions.
