How can i accessing the selected record from bulk action in filament table and access the records from form method?

[christmex]

What i want?

Accessing the selected record from bulk action in filament table and accessing the records from the form method

Explanation of what i want to achieve

When I click my bulk action, I open a new form in modal where the user can select which classroom the student will promoted based on the student's active classroom, so I need to get the student records to check they are in which class now, i hope it is clear 🙏

What did I do?

Here's my code sneak peek

Tables\Actions\BulkAction::make('promoted_students')
  ->form([
        Forms\Components\Select::make('classroom_id')
              ->live()
              //Here's what I did to try to accessing the selected records, but it doesn't work
              ->options(function(Collection $records){
                  return Classroom::all()
                  ->pluck('classroom_name', 'id');
              })
              ->searchable(['classroom_name'])
              ->default(fn($state) => $state)
              ->required(),
]),

Where did I miss? thank you for letting me know, thank you for any helps 🙏

Try $livewire->getSelectedTableRecords()

Thank you for the answer 🙏

Would you mind sharing how you implemented $livewire->getSelectedTableRecords() 🙏

I'm facing the exact situation where I'd need to limit options to only those selected for the bulk action.

hi Mate, here is the code, I hope you found it helpful, let us know if you found any issue

Tables\Actions\BulkAction::make('buln_name')
    ->form([
        \Filament\Forms\Components\Select::make('column_name')
            ->required(),
            //.... another field here
    ])
    ->action(function(array $data, $livewire){
        // dd($livewire->selectedTableRecords, $data);
        // $data contains the form value, and the $livewire contains many stuff, but for getting only the selected data you can use $livewire->selectedTableRecords 

    })

Cheers @christmex, so have I got this correct?

Say in my table of languages I choose multiple records for bulk actioning. I want to have only those selected as options (either in Radio, Select, CheckboxList) in the modal form. And would I use the exact same method if I wanted to set the default?

The following seems to work, just unsure if it's the advised method.

Tables\Actions\BulkAction::make('merge_records')
    ->form([
        \Filament\Forms\Components\Radio::make('master_id')
            ->label('Choose a master record to merge all selected records into')
            ->options(function($livewire) {
                $options = $livewire->getSelectedTableRecords();
                return $options->pluck('language', 'id'); // whatever columns are necessary
            })
            ->default(function($livewire) {
                $options = $livewire->getSelectedTableRecords();
                return $options->first()->id; // if I wanted to have the first item pre-selected
            })
            ->required(),
    ])
    ->action(function(array $data, $livewire){
        // dd($livewire->selectedTableRecords, $data);
        // $data contains the form value, and the $livewire contains many stuff, but for getting only the selected data you can use $livewire->selectedTableRecords 
        // DO THE MERGING STUFF
    })

Well it looks good man @dr-codswallop

How can I achieve, that each selected row is listet when selected, f.e. in a sidebar, without click to BulkAction-Button?

[christmex]

hi @photojo so u mean u want to create clickable row? when u clik the row it will select the row?

[photojo]

Hi @christmex : no, I don’t want clickable rows. I just wanted a possibility so show selected rows, before I choose a bulk-action.

[almighty-lilith]

$livewire->getSelectedTableRecords() returns an empty array on my side...

Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Collection {#2182 ▼ // app\Filament\Resources\BookAdminResource\Pages\ListBookAdmins.php:32
#items: []
#escapeWhenCastingToString: false
}

any idea why ?

[christmex]

@almighty-lilith can we see your code?

[almighty-lilith]

The proper action :

\app\Filament\Resources\BookAdminResource\Pages\ListBookAdmins.php
`

class ListBookAdmins extends ListRecords

{
protected static string $resource = BookAdminResource::class;

public static function bulkAddTagsAction(): Action
{
    return Action::make('bulkAddTagsAction')
        ->label('Ajouter un mot-clé')
        ->modalDescription('Ajouter un ou plusieurs mot-clés à tous les livres sélectionnés')
        ->icon('heroicon-o-tag')
        ->form([
            Forms\Components\Select::make('add_tags')
                ->label('Mots-clés')
                ->multiple()
                ->relationship('tags', 'title')
                ->dehydrated()  // pour récupérer les données dans la fonction action à partir d"une relation
                ->preload(),

        ])
        ->action(function (array $data, $livewire): void {

            dd($data, $livewire->getSelectedTableRecords());`

The bulkactions in the main resource :

        ->bulkActions([
            Tables\Actions\BulkActionGroup::make([
                Tables\Actions\DeleteBulkAction::make(),
                Pages\ListBookAdmins::bulkAddTagsAction(),
            ]),

        ])

The goal is to attach, one or several tags to several books through the selected bulk items -> model -> tags selected
The attachment of several tags is working well in a book edit form field

Thank you for your time !

What I would like to do is enable or disable the visibility of the bulk action based on the selected records.

For example, if I select two records that are in draft, I want to display only the "Publish" button. On the other hand, if I select records that are already published, I want to show only the "Move to Draft" option in the bulk actions, and so on.

Apparently, if I use getSelectedTableRecords() inside visible(), it is only evaluated on page load and not when selecting rows dynamically.
