passing action arguments into nested actions

I have an action with footer actions. In those footer actions I need $arguments from the mountUsing on the parent. Not sure how to obtain those arguments in the child?
Solution:
```php public function dayAction(): Action { return Action::make('day') ->label('Day Clicked')...

Ah, that could be it. my plan is having a click event that opens a modal, im shown 2 buttons, 1 to view the date I clicked in a calendar, and another that would update the modal form or redirect to another modal form to submit hours I just couldnt get the arrguments passed into the action to go into the footer action
LeandroFerreira
LeandroFerreira•5w ago
yes, I think makeModalSubmitAction. Try it

Just on my lunch break now, will be back on in a few hours to give it a try, Ill leave this ticket open for now. Thank you 🙂

no no, try it right now just kidding 😅 if it doesn't work, tag me and share the code that you are using ✌️

Yes boss! 🫡 🤣 Got like 3 projects on the go right now, its hectic. And I need to speak to the boss about alocating time to update our boilerplate to v4 - im running out of energy 🤣 From what I can see, that isnt working -> Is this just expecting data from the initial action? Where im calling the action 
        $this->mountAction('test', ['date' => $carbon, 'record' => $this->instructor->getKey()]); // Example time, adjust as needed
        $this->mountAction('test', ['date' => $carbon, 'record' => $this->instructor->getKey()]); // Example time, adjust as needed
Then I need those keys/values in the footer action
LeandroFerreira
LeandroFerreira•5w ago
Could share the whole code on gist?

Jamie CeeOP•5w ago
So I managed to add record, but still cant get the initial argument in. I can only share bits of it due to NDA I've sent it via DM

        });
}
and use $this->mountAction('day', ['date' => now(), 'record' => 1])

don't forget this: The method must share the exact same name as the action, or the name followed by Action

So that did show the form, but when I try to use a function that returns form components, it doesnt show? 
    public function dayAction(): Action
    {
        return Action::make('day')
            ->label('Day Clicked')
            ->modal()
            ->modalSubmitAction(false)
            ->extraModalFooterActions(function (Action $action): array {
                return [
                    Action::make('addAvailability')
                        ->color('success')
                        ->record($this->instructor)
                        ->fillForm(fn(): array => [
                            'start_date' => $action->getArguments()['date'] ?? null,
                        ])
                        ->form(
                            [self::getInstructorAvailabilityFormComponent()]
                        )
                        ->action(function (array $data) {
                            // dd($data);
                        }),
                ];
            });
    }
    public function dayAction(): Action
    {
        return Action::make('day')
            ->label('Day Clicked')
            ->modal()
            ->modalSubmitAction(false)
            ->extraModalFooterActions(function (Action $action): array {
                return [
                    Action::make('addAvailability')
                        ->color('success')
                        ->record($this->instructor)
                        ->fillForm(fn(): array => [
                            'start_date' => $action->getArguments()['date'] ?? null,
                        ])
                        ->form(
                            [self::getInstructorAvailabilityFormComponent()]
                        )
                        ->action(function (array $data) {
                            // dd($data);
                        }),
                ];
            });
    }
And the snippet of the function 
    public static function getInstructorAvailabilityFormComponent(): Component
    {
        return Forms\Components\Section::make('Instructor Availability')
            ->description('Set available working hours for instructors')
            ->schema([
                Forms\Components\Repeater::make('instructor_availabilities')
                    ->relationship('instructorAvailabilities', function ($query) {
                        return $query->where('auto_generated', false);
                    })
                    ->collapsible()
                    ->label('Availability Periods')
                    ->collapsed()
                    ->collapsible()
                    ->schema([
    public static function getInstructorAvailabilityFormComponent(): Component
    {
        return Forms\Components\Section::make('Instructor Availability')
            ->description('Set available working hours for instructors')
            ->schema([
                Forms\Components\Repeater::make('instructor_availabilities')
                    ->relationship('instructorAvailabilities', function ($query) {
                        return $query->where('auto_generated', false);
                    })
                    ->collapsible()
                    ->label('Availability Periods')
                    ->collapsed()
                    ->collapsible()
                    ->schema([
Surely its not because im using sections and grids etc? Oh, apparently it is, but also made me realise that I dont even need the form im trying to use 🤣 So your solution was spot on
