How can I dispatch a livewire event from a table?

The table function is static, thus I cant call $this->dispatch('something').

The table method is a set up method. Where are you trying to call the dispatch? A dispatch needs an action. Just calling the table method isn’t going to dispatch anything.

hello

->actions([
                Tables\Actions\DeleteAction::make(),
                Action::make('Test')
                    // ...
                    ->action(function (Model $record, array $data) {
                        $this->dispatch('custom-event');
                    }),

->actions([
                Tables\Actions\DeleteAction::make(),
                Action::make('Test')
                    // ...
                    ->action(function (Model $record, array $data) {
                        $this->dispatch('custom-event');
                    }),

Using $this when not in object context Which makes sense, but i dont know how else to do it

You can access livewire in the closure and use it to dispatch with. Component $component and then $component->dispatch

Got it

                    ->action(function (Model $record, array $data, \Livewire\Component $livewire) {
                        $livewire->dispatch('custom-event');
                    })

                    ->action(function (Model $record, array $data, \Livewire\Component $livewire) {
                        $livewire->dispatch('custom-event');
                    })

I needed to access a method and found that component->getContainer()->getLivewire() actually is a thing 🙂 The dependency is filament livewire not livewire I believe I learned from a YouTube if ever in doubt you can dd(get_defined_vars())

DarkKnight•6mo ago

yeah. Filament has livewire as a dependency, since its built on top of it wow this is cool I always use dd() anyways, but I wasnt aware of this

Seems it actually was the regular livewire class 😂 I didn’t even look I just used the dep injection in vscode to import the class

DarkKnight•6mo ago

Yeah, I literally just remembered it existed. Your thoughts are always clearer after a gooood 10h sleep 😂

I’m curious did that work for you?

Also you can use ->to() with dispatch to define which component will receive the event.
