format minutes as hours in form, and save back to database as minutes.
Hi guys, - im not sure what im doing wrong.
I store planned_time in minutes in the db. I want the filament form to show in hours, and save back to the db in minutes.
Here is my current code. I can either get it to save, or to show on the form properly, but not both. what am I doing wrong?
Forms\Components\TextInput::make('planned_time_input')
->label('Planned Time (Hours)')
->numeric()
->minValue(0.25)
->step(0.25)
->helperText('Enter time in hours (e.g., 1.5 for 90 minutes)')
->displayUsing(fn ($value) => number_format($value / 60, 2))
->afterStateUpdated(fn ($state, Forms\Set $set) => $set('planned_time', $state * 60)
),
Forms\Components\Hidden::make('planned_time'),

check out modifying the value in the dehydration https://filamentphp.com/docs/3.x/forms/advanced#field-dehydration
Thanks mate! Tried this, but still wont appear in my form.Tried this. Forms\Components\TextInput::make('planned_time')
->dehydrateStateUsing(fn ($state) => number_format($state / 60, 2)), but it doesn't change the formatting.
Use the
->dehydrateStateUsing to format the value for saving to the DB, something like ->dehydrateStateUsing(fn (string $state): int => (int)$state * 60)
