LLeandroFerreira does it work if you change `Hidden` to `TextInput`?

Its not a big issue, its a bit annoying

What exactly are you trying to do? It’s not a good idea to use hidden fields for record id’s since they can be manipulated in the browser before form submission.

hum, I think this is the question:

this doesn't work

TextInput::make('author_name')
    ->formatStateUsing(fn (Get $get) => $get('author_id')),
TextInput::make('author_id')
    ->default(1),

TextInput::make('author_name')
    ->formatStateUsing(fn (Get $get) => $get('author_id')),
TextInput::make('author_id')
    ->default(1),

TextInput::make('author_name')
    ->formatStateUsing(fn (Get $get) => $get('author_id')),
TextInput::make('author_id')
    ->default(1),

TextInput::make('author_name')
    ->formatStateUsing(fn (Get $get) => $get('author_id')),
TextInput::make('author_id')
    ->default(1),

Maybe this is correct, the author_id isn't hydrated at this point using default, which is why it is null..

This will work

public function mount(): void
{
    parent::mount();

    $this->form->fill([
        'author_id' => 1
    ]);
}

public function mount(): void
{
    parent::mount();

    $this->form->fill([
        'author_id' => 1
    ]);
}

public function mount(): void
{
    parent::mount();

    $this->form->fill([
        'author_id' => 1
    ]);
}

public function mount(): void
{
    parent::mount();

    $this->form->fill([
        'author_id' => 1
    ]);
}

That's why i'm asking for the use case.

->formatStateUsing(fn ($state) => $state ?? Auth::user()->id)

->formatStateUsing(fn ($state) => $state ?? Auth::user()->id)

->formatStateUsing(fn ($state) => $state ?? Auth::user()->id)

->formatStateUsing(fn ($state) => $state ?? Auth::user()->id)

Well, I think this cause the

TextInput::make('author_name'

TextInput::make('author_name'

TextInput::make('author_name'

TextInput::make('author_name') is attempting to format its state using the value of '

author_id

author_id

author_id

author_id'.
However,

'author_id'

'author_id'

'author_id'

'author_id' is set with a default value of 1. If

 author_name

author_name

 author_name

author_name depends on

 author_id

author_id

 author_id

author_id, but there’s no mechanism to ensure

author_id

author_id

author_id

author_id is updated before the state of

author_name

author_name

author_name

author_name, this can result in incorrect or unexpected behavior.

So, I think it would be better to be initialized first.

MatthewOP•12/9/24, 3:01 PM

Well, I have an author_id column in my db, on the create record, I want to have the name of the currently auth user as the default value. The default value will be an int, but I want to show the name of the user

MatthewOP•12/9/24, 3:02 PM

I have done this like 100 times before, I have just completely forgotten

awcodes•12/9/24, 3:04 PM

Sounds like it should just be a select with a relationship to the author.

Yeah I thought so too... I was just trying to think of a way to do it with a textinput

awcodes•12/9/24, 3:07 PM

the problem with a text input is that it would require the user to know the id or the exact spelling of the user name when they select the author

you mean, this?

Should I make a author() relationship in the model?

Assuming the author_id is on the same table as collaborators_id.

You have two TextInput::make('name') definitions, which may cause issues since form field names must be unique. Consider renaming the second TextInput to something descriptive like author_name:

No it won't because onces in a relationship and sub-keyed.

S

simpson•12/11/24, 1:29 PM

Well, in that case, I think it would be better to define relationship as follow.

public function author()
{
    return $this->belongsTo(User::class, 'author_id');
}

public function author()
{
    return $this->belongsTo(User::class, 'author_id');
}

public function author()
{
    return $this->belongsTo(User::class, 'author_id');
}

public function author()
{
    return $this->belongsTo(User::class, 'author_id');
}

You mean exactly as he has done a few posts above....

Hmmm...

S

simpson•12/11/24, 1:37 PM

How about this?
I guess it would works by reordering component places.

like this:

Hidden::make('author_id')
    ->label('Author')
    ->default(fn () => Auth::id())
    ->required(),

Hidden::make('author_id')
    ->label('Author')
    ->default(fn () => Auth::id())
    ->required(),

Hidden::make('author_id')
    ->label('Author')
    ->default(fn () => Auth::id())
    ->required(),

Hidden::make('author_id')
    ->label('Author')
    ->default(fn () => Auth::id())
    ->required(),

TextInput::make('author_name')
    ->label('Author')
    ->disabled()
    ->dehydrated()
    ->formatStateUsing(fn (Get $get) => dd($get('author_id')))

I don't understand what you are trying to do.. maybe you could share a repo on github reproducing the issue and what you need..
