beforeSave()
Hello everyone,
I am trying to modify the data on the EditStudent page before saving it to the database. Upon saving, I have set the redirect to the list page. I am using the beforeSave() method, and as soon as I click the save button in the form, the values change correctly, but then they are not saved to the database. What am I doing wrong?
Thank you very much.

<?php
namespace App\Filament\Resources\StudentResource\Pages;
use App\Filament\Resources\StudentResource;
use Filament\Actions;
use Filament\Resources\Pages\EditRecord;
use function Livewire\before;
class EditStudent extends EditRecord
{
protected static string $resource = StudentResource::class;
protected function getHeaderActions(): array
{
return [
Actions\DeleteAction::make(),
];
}
protected function getRedirectUrl(): string
{
return $this->getResource()::getUrl('index');
}
protected function beforeSave(): void
{
if (isset($this->data['is_private'])) {
if ($this->data['is_private']) {
$this->data['customer_id'] = null;
}
}
}
}
I solved it like this:
protected function beforeSave(): void
{
if (isset($this->data['is_private'])) {
if ($this->data['is_private']) {
$student = Student::find($this->data['id']);
$student->customer_id = null;
$student->save();
}
}
}I think $this->record should return your Model to modify it.
Please consider whether this is the right place for your intention. If you edit the model outside of your Filament Resource, this check won't take place. A Laravel Model Observer might be more suitable in this case.
