Add maxlength to 255 chars on TextInput by default
For all my TextInput fields, I want to set a default maximum length of 255 characters, which is the commonly used VARCHAR length for database fields.
I tried implementing this in
However, I encountered an issue: if the TextInput is numeric or decimal, validation fails when the number exceeds 255.
So, I attempted to conditionally apply the maxLength only if the input is not numeric or decimal:
But this approach doesn’t work because configureUsing is called before the component is used in the code, so inputMode is always empty.
What should i do?

Solution
What you likely need to do is to provide a closure to
You need to imagine that
The solution therefore would be to fetch the
maxLength()getInputMode()You need to imagine that
::configureUsing()TextInput::make()getInputMode()The solution therefore would be to fetch the
getInputMode()
