How to put the resource creation link in the navigation of the panel?

Hey folks 👋 I've created a panel for users and I have a RequestResource (with default pages). My resource registers well in the navigation (the page to display all Requests but I would also like a direct link to create a Request in my navigation. Is there an easy way to do this? I've tried adding navigation-related statics properties to the App\Filament\User\Resources\RequestResource\CreateRequest.php page (like $navigationIcon, $navigationGroup, etc.) but it doesn't seem to work. So I tried going through the UserPanelProdiver file and adding this method:

->navigationItems(
                [
                    NavigationItem::make( 'create_request' )
                                  ->label( __( 'users/requests.navigation_create_label' ) )
                                  ->group( __( 'users/requests.navigation_group' ) )
                                  ->url( '/requests/create' )
                                  ->icon( 'heroicon-o-plus' ),
                ]
            )

->navigationItems(
                [
                    NavigationItem::make( 'create_request' )
                                  ->label( __( 'users/requests.navigation_create_label' ) )
                                  ->group( __( 'users/requests.navigation_group' ) )
                                  ->url( '/requests/create' )
                                  ->icon( 'heroicon-o-plus' ),
                ]
            )

It works, but I don't know how to manage the active class 😅 Can anyone shed some light on this? Thanks in advance 😇

Solution:

You could try something along those lines: ```php NavigationItem::make('New Request') ->label(__( 'users/requests.navigation_create_label' ))...

You could try something along those lines:

NavigationItem::make('New Request')
    ->label(__( 'users/requests.navigation_create_label' ))
    ->group(__( 'users/requests.navigation_group' ))
    ->icon('heroicon-o-plus')
    ->url(fn () => Pages\CreateRequest::getUrl())
    ->isActiveWhen(fn () => request()->routeIs(Pages\CreateRequest::getRouteName())),

NavigationItem::make('New Request')
    ->label(__( 'users/requests.navigation_create_label' ))
    ->group(__( 'users/requests.navigation_group' ))
    ->icon('heroicon-o-plus')
    ->url(fn () => Pages\CreateRequest::getUrl())
    ->isActiveWhen(fn () => request()->routeIs(Pages\CreateRequest::getRouteName())),

Hey, great it's working thanks ! But it's weird because the active class was also set to the "All requests" item (generated via the RequestResource" class). So I added this to RequestResource.php:

protected static bool $shouldRegisterNavigation = false;

protected static bool $shouldRegisterNavigation = false;

And add a new Item in my navigation for the ListRequest :

->navigationItems(
                [
                    NavigationItem::make( 'New request' )
                                  ->label( __( 'users/requests.create.navigation_label' ) )
                                  ->group( __( 'users/requests.navigation_group' ) )
                                  ->url(fn () => CreateRequest::getUrl())
                                  ->icon( 'heroicon-o-plus' )
                                  ->isActiveWhen(fn () => request()->routeIs(CreateRequest::getRouteName())),
                    NavigationItem::make( 'See requests' )
                                  ->label( __( 'users/requests.all.navigation_label' ) )
                                  ->group( __( 'users/requests.navigation_group' ) )
                                  ->url(fn () => ListRequests::getUrl())
                                  ->icon( 'heroicon-o-eye' )
                                  ->isActiveWhen(fn () => request()->routeIs(ListRequests::getRouteName())),
                ]
            )

->navigationItems(
                [
                    NavigationItem::make( 'New request' )
                                  ->label( __( 'users/requests.create.navigation_label' ) )
                                  ->group( __( 'users/requests.navigation_group' ) )
                                  ->url(fn () => CreateRequest::getUrl())
                                  ->icon( 'heroicon-o-plus' )
                                  ->isActiveWhen(fn () => request()->routeIs(CreateRequest::getRouteName())),
                    NavigationItem::make( 'See requests' )
                                  ->label( __( 'users/requests.all.navigation_label' ) )
                                  ->group( __( 'users/requests.navigation_group' ) )
                                  ->url(fn () => ListRequests::getUrl())
                                  ->icon( 'heroicon-o-eye' )
                                  ->isActiveWhen(fn () => request()->routeIs(ListRequests::getRouteName())),
                ]
            )

So now it's good. Thanks for your help 😃
