How to have a default() for a Select multiple() ?

Hi, I have Select->multiple() and I can't initialize a default value. So what is necessary for inserting a default value ? The id ?

You need to pass an array: default([2,3,4,10]) Noting default only works on creation not edit.

Ok, so I don't understand where is my problem 😦

Select::make('specialities')
                    ->default(function () {
                        dd(Speciality::where('name', Filament::getTenant()->teamSpeciality->name)->first()?->toArray());
                    })
                    ->relationship('speciality', 'name')
                    ->label('Option')
                    ->multiple()
                    ->nullable()
                    ->preload()

Select::make('specialities')
                    ->default(function () {
                        dd(Speciality::where('name', Filament::getTenant()->teamSpeciality->name)->first()?->toArray());
                    })
                    ->relationship('speciality', 'name')
                    ->label('Option')
                    ->multiple()
                    ->nullable()
                    ->preload()

This is the input There is 1 result from this request but I can't make it an array

This is on a creation right? And when you remove dd you replace it with return ?

Chriis•6mo ago

Yep

toeknee•6mo ago

You have't fetchted the id's it should return an array of id's.

Chriis•6mo ago

And the thing I noticed is that when I dd the result of the Eloquent query I have the 1 id, the one I want to use but when I do

->first()->pluck('id')->toArray()

->first()->pluck('id')->toArray()

I have every record in the DB table

toeknee•6mo ago

so that DD should return: [single_id]

Chriis•6mo ago

Yep

toeknee•6mo ago

As an example to test the logic, if you replace: ->default([3]) does it work?

Chriis•6mo ago

Yep, it select the third value of the Select by default So I tried to format the id I have from the Elouqnt query but I don't know why it give me every record in an array as a result when I use pluck It make no sense Like its doing a new query

Chriis•6mo ago

To give you more context, here is the options I have from the relationship on the select

Chriis•6mo ago

When I do

->default(function () {
    dd(Speciality::where('name', Filament::getTenant()->teamSpeciality->name)->first()?->id);
})

->default(function () {
    dd(Speciality::where('name', Filament::getTenant()->teamSpeciality->name)->first()?->id);
})

I have as a result

Chriis•6mo ago

Which is exactly what I am expecting but this 4 can't be passed in the default like that because its not an array So from this what would you do ?

toeknee•6mo ago

That's a single integer you need to cast it to an array so: return [Speciality::where('name', Filament::getTenant()->teamSpeciality->name)->first()?->id];

Chriis•6mo ago

Hmm ... 😅 It works ofc I don't know why I didn't think of that

toeknee•6mo ago

haha

Chriis•6mo ago

I was doing some weird thing with pluck toArray etc 😑

toeknee•6mo ago

because you were too fixated on the query 😉 programmers tunnel vision, it's why asking questions or going for a walk helps 😛

Chriis•6mo ago

Yep, thanks a lot 🙂
