How to get $data from table form action?

I built a rather complex action in my table which looks like this:

->actions([
                Action::make('permissions')
                ->form(function (User $record) {
                    $checkboxLists = [];
                    foreach ($this->project->targets as $target) {
                        $checkboxLists[] = CheckboxList::make('directPermissions')
                            ->label($target->name)
                            ->relationship(
                                titleAttribute: 'name'
                            )
                            ->options(function () use ($target) {
                                $permissions = [];
                                foreach ($this->project->directPermissions()->where('destination_id', $target->id)->get() as $permission) {
                                    $permissions[$permission->id] = $permission->name;
                                }
                                return $permissions;                
                            });
                    }
                    return $checkboxLists;
                })
                ->fillForm(function ($record) {
                    return $record->toArray();
                })
                ->model(function ($record) {
                    return $record;
                })
                ->action(function (array $data, $record, RelationManager $livewire) {
                    logger()->debug('Permissions data', $data);
                })
            ])

->actions([
                Action::make('permissions')
                ->form(function (User $record) {
                    $checkboxLists = [];
                    foreach ($this->project->targets as $target) {
                        $checkboxLists[] = CheckboxList::make('directPermissions')
                            ->label($target->name)
                            ->relationship(
                                titleAttribute: 'name'
                            )
                            ->options(function () use ($target) {
                                $permissions = [];
                                foreach ($this->project->directPermissions()->where('destination_id', $target->id)->get() as $permission) {
                                    $permissions[$permission->id] = $permission->name;
                                }
                                return $permissions;                
                            });
                    }
                    return $checkboxLists;
                })
                ->fillForm(function ($record) {
                    return $record->toArray();
                })
                ->model(function ($record) {
                    return $record;
                })
                ->action(function (array $data, $record, RelationManager $livewire) {
                    logger()->debug('Permissions data', $data);
                })
            ])

This works perfectly fine and correctly sets the user's permissions in their project. The problem is that I am just not able to get the $data in the ->action -method. After submitting the form the $data seems to be empty: [2024-05-08 08:31:58] production.DEBUG: Permissions data So the ->action-method is triggered correctly but is not getting any data back from the form?

Relationships save on their own so the data is not included. I think you can use ->dehydrated(true)?!

Nuekrato•6mo ago

Mh.. I added it to the form but it doesn't make any difference. The $data is still empty.

                ->form(function (User $record) {
                    $checkboxLists = [];
                    foreach ($this->project->targets as $target) {
                        $checkboxLists[] = CheckboxList::make('directPermissions')
                            ->dehydrated(true)
                            ->label($target->name)
                            ->relationship(
                                titleAttribute: 'name'
                            )
                            ->options(function () use ($target) {
                                $permissions = [];
                                foreach ($this->project->directPermissions()->where('destination_id', $target->id)->get() as $permission) {
                                    $permissions[$permission->id] = $permission->name;
                                }
                                return $permissions;                
                            });
                    }
                    return $checkboxLists;
                })

                ->form(function (User $record) {
                    $checkboxLists = [];
                    foreach ($this->project->targets as $target) {
                        $checkboxLists[] = CheckboxList::make('directPermissions')
                            ->dehydrated(true)
                            ->label($target->name)
                            ->relationship(
                                titleAttribute: 'name'
                            )
                            ->options(function () use ($target) {
                                $permissions = [];
                                foreach ($this->project->directPermissions()->where('destination_id', $target->id)->get() as $permission) {
                                    $permissions[$permission->id] = $permission->name;
                                }
                                return $permissions;                
                            });
                    }
                    return $checkboxLists;
                })

I tried both true and false and there is no difference at all. I just need to dispatch a custom event with the relationship data - that's why I need to "hook" into the submit action.

There was a similar question here just some days ago. Thought the solution was using dehydrated().

Nuekrato•6mo ago

Mh. Sorry I didn't see that question. I will try to search for it. But in this case dehydrated() does not seem to make any difference.

Dennis Koch•6mo ago

Hm. Can't find it either 🙈

Nuekrato•6mo ago

Nevermind. I found another way by just using the $record in the action directly and get the relationship after saving. So I can use that data to dispatch an Event:

                ->action(function ($record, $livewire) {
                    logger()->debug('Permissions', $record->projectPermissions($livewire->ownerRecord)->get()->toArray());
                })

                ->action(function ($record, $livewire) {
                    logger()->debug('Permissions', $record->projectPermissions($livewire->ownerRecord)->get()->toArray());
                })

You should add this after ->relationship()
