Handling dispatch events with named parameters in Filament Action
Hi 
I'm trying to dispatch a Wire Element Pro event to open a slide-over from within a reusable Filament action. While this works seamlessly when the action is defined within a Livewire component, it doesn't seem to work as expected in a Filament action.
Here’s the code that works well in a Livewire component:
However, when I try to achieve the same in a Filament action extended class, I encounter issues. Specifically, I believe the
- Named Parameters: The first approach using named parameters (
- Array Syntax: The 2nd approach using an associative array doesn't throw an error, but it fails to trigger the slide-over event as intended.
I also realise that
Is there a different method or workaround that would allow me to trigger the slide-over event in this context?

Solution
Actions aren’t livewire components so ‘$this’ is the action in this context. You can inject $livewire into the action callback and call $livewire->dispatch() etc.
