[UX] How to convey a limit for a resource?
How would you convey a limit (for creating a record) to a resource?
Once the limit is reached you are no longer allowed to create a new record via a Resource.
For example lets assume I have a
ProductResource with an underlying Product model. I want to impose a 500 record limit. What would be a good UX to do that?
I have considered the folllwing options:
- disabling the create button in the ListProducts
- (I can no longer use a tooltip or the action itself for that matter)
- creating a new "dummy" action that will be only visible once that limit was reached, the action can be null and i could show a form with a placeholder
- (essentially that would open a modal informing the user that a limit was reached; bonus I could use a tooltip on that "dummy" action)
- intercept the regular create action
- (bad because the user has already entered all the data before the ->before() was even hit)
- dont show the action at all
- (bad for obvious reasons)
Im curious as this appears to be a common problem but I couldn't really find a proper "laravel"/"filament" way for it.
