passing action arguments into nested actions

[kindred shadow]

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?

    public function testAction(): Action
    {
        return Action::make('day_action')
            ->label('Day Clicked')
            ->modalHeading('Choose an action')
            ->modalSubmitAction(false) // disable default "Save" button
            ->modalFooterActionsAlignment('center')
            ->modalWidth('md')
            ->mountUsing(function (array $arguments) {
                dd($arguments);
            })
            ->modalFooterActions([
                // 1. View Day button

                // 2. Add Availability button
                Action::make('addAvailability')
                    ->label('Add Availability')
                    ->color('success')
                    ->mountUsing(function (array $arguments, Form $form) {
                        // Prefill if needed
                        dd($this->mountedActionArguments());
                        $form->fill([
                            'start_date' => $arguments['date'] ?? now()->toDateString(),
                            'end_date'   => $arguments['date'] ?? now()->toDateString(),
                        ]);
                    })
                    ->form($this->getAvailabilityForm()) // extract your giant schema into a helper
                    ->action(function (array $data) {
                        // Save the availability here
                        // dd($data);
                    }),
            ]);
    }```

you mean makeModalSubmitAction?
https://filamentphp.com/docs/4.x/actions/modals#adding-an-extra-modal-action-button-to-the-footer

[kindred shadow]

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

[faint salmon]

yes, I think makeModalSubmitAction. Try it

[kindred shadow]

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 🙂

[faint salmon]

no no, try it right now
just kidding 😅

if it doesn't work, tag me and share the code that you are using ✌️

[kindred shadow]

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 🤣

[kindred shadow]

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

Then I need those keys/values in the footer action

[faint salmon]

Could share the whole code on gist?

[kindred shadow]

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

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')
                    ->fillForm(fn (): array => [
                        'date' => $action->getArguments()['date'] ?? null,
                        'user' => $action->getArguments()['record'] ?? null,
                    ])
                    ->form([
                        TextInput::make('date'),
                        Select::make('user')
                            ->options([
                                1 => 'User 1',
                                2 => 'User 2',
                            ]),
                    ])
                    ->action(function (array $data) {
                        dd($data);
                    }),
            ];
        });
}

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);
                        }),
                ];
            });
    }

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([

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
