How can we help you?

Hi,

I'm trying to customize the way a record is created. So, in the CreatePage of my resource, I have:

protected function handleRecordCreation(array $data): Model
    {
        // Here I want to access to the data coming from the main form AND from the form in the modal ('how_many' field)
        // $data DOES NOT contains "how_many"
        
    }

    protected function getCreateFormAction(): \Filament\Actions\Action
    {
        return \Filament\Actions\Action::make('create')
            ->label(__('filament-panels::resources/pages/create-record.form.actions.create.label'))
            ->requiresConfirmation()
            ->form([
                Select::make('how_many')
                    ->label(__('site.howMany'))
                    ->options(collect(range(1, 20))->mapWithKeys(fn($number) => [$number => $number])),
            ])
            ->modalDescription('Desc')
            ->action(function (CreateAnimal $livewire, array $data) {
                $livewire->data = array_merge($livewire->data, $data); // HERE $livewire->data contains "how_many"
                $livewire->create();
            })
            ->keyBindings(['mod+s']);
    }

As mentioned in the comments, I would like to access the value of "how_many" in the method handleRecordCreation.
How could I do that ?

Thank you for your help.

Hi again,

I tried to dig deeper, and here is the current state of my "workaround" (though there are a lot of trade-offs):

protected function getCreateFormAction(): Action
{
    return parent::getCreateFormAction()
        ->label(__('filament-panels::resources/pages/create-record.form.actions.create.label'))
        ->modalDescription(__('animal.multipleCreationDescription'))
        ->requiresConfirmation(true)
        ->submit(null)
        ->form([
            Select::make('how_many')
                ->label(__('site.howMany'))
                ->hiddenLabel()
                ->columnSpanFull()
                ->default(1)
                ->required()
                ->native(false)
                ->options(collect(range(1, 20))->mapWithKeys(fn($number) => [$number => $number])),
        ])
        ->keyBindings(['mod+s'])
        ->action(function ($livewire, $data) {
            $howMany = $data['how_many'];
            $formData = $livewire->data;

            for ($i = 0; $i < $howMany; $i++) {
                if (static::getModel()::createModel($formData)) {
                    Notification::make()
                        ->title('Success')
                        ->success()
                        ->send();
                } else {
                    Notification::make()
                        ->title('Error')
                        ->error()
                        ->send();
                }
            }
        });
}

First, I had to create a createModel method in my model because the standard create method does not handle relationships. Is there any solution for that?

Additionally, in the main form, I have FileUploaders, and $livewire->data returns raw data that I have to store manually. I would like to avoid this manual handling.

Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

The problem I am trying to solve is: is the a way to create multiple records when submitting the create form (and ask the use how many copies he wants)?
