Change a resource attribute/property from an action.

Hey guys, can i somehow change a resource property/attribute from an action like this?

->actions([
                Tables\Actions\ViewAction::make()
                    ->action(function () {
                        $this->contact->read_at = Carbon::now();
                        $this->contact->save();
                    }),
                Tables\Actions\DeleteAction::make(),
            ])

->actions([
                Tables\Actions\ViewAction::make()
                    ->action(function () {
                        $this->contact->read_at = Carbon::now();
                        $this->contact->save();
                    }),
                Tables\Actions\DeleteAction::make(),
            ])

if not, how can i achieve this?

The idea is to make a read/unread functionality so when the user clicks on a row in the table it marks it as read.

i think this way you overwrite the view action. maybe on the view class in the mount() method you could set the read_at

could you maybe give me an example of how you mean? because the view is in a modal so is there a way to do this?

krekas•5mo ago

you didn't mention that that maybe use after() method instead of action

I created the ViewClass and did as you told me. Thanks a lot

<?php

namespace App\Filament\Resources\ContactResource\Pages;

use App\Filament\Resources\ContactResource;
use Carbon\Carbon;
use Filament\Actions;
use Filament\Resources\Pages\ViewRecord;

class ViewContact extends ViewRecord
{
    protected static string $resource = ContactResource::class;

    public function mount(int | string $record): void
    {
        $this->record = $this->resolveRecord($record);
        $this->record->read_at = Carbon::now();
        $this->record->save();
    }
}

<?php

namespace App\Filament\Resources\ContactResource\Pages;

use App\Filament\Resources\ContactResource;
use Carbon\Carbon;
use Filament\Actions;
use Filament\Resources\Pages\ViewRecord;

class ViewContact extends ViewRecord
{
    protected static string $resource = ContactResource::class;

    public function mount(int | string $record): void
    {
        $this->record = $this->resolveRecord($record);
        $this->record->read_at = Carbon::now();
        $this->record->save();
    }
}

Don't forget to use parent from the method
