# Filament - Panels/Resources/Editing Records Source: https://filamentphp.com/docs/3.x/panels/resources/editing-records #Customizing data before filling the form ----------------------------------------- You may wish to modify the data from a record before it is filled into the form. To do this, you may define a `mutateFormDataBeforeFill()` method on the Edit page class to modify the `$data` array, and return the modified version before it is filled into the form: ```php protected function mutateFormDataBeforeFill(array $data): array { $data['user_id'] = auth()->id(); return $data; } ``` Alternatively, if you’re editing records in a modal action, check out the Actions documentation. #Customizing data before saving ------------------------------- Sometimes, you may wish to modify form data before it is finally saved to the database. To do this, you may define a `mutateFormDataBeforeSave()` method on the Edit page class, which accepts the `$data` as an array, and returns it modified: ```php protected function mutateFormDataBeforeSave(array $data): array { $data['last_edited_by_id'] = auth()->id(); return $data; } ``` Alternatively, if you’re editing records in a modal action, check out the Actions documentation. #Customizing the saving process ------------------------------- You can tweak how the record is updated using the `handleRecordUpdate()` method on the Edit page class: ```php use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model; protected function handleRecordUpdate(Model $record, array $data): Model { $record->update($data); return $record; } ``` Alternatively, if you’re editing records in a modal action, check out the Actions documentation. #Customizing redirects ---------------------- By default, saving the form will not redirect the user to another page. You may set up a custom redirect when the form is saved by overriding the `getRedirectUrl()` method on the Edit page class. For example, the form can redirect back to the List page of the resource: ```php protected function getRedirectUrl(): string { return $this->getResource()::getUrl('index'); } ``` Or the View page: ```php protected function getRedirectUrl(): string { return $this->getResource()::getUrl('view', ['record' => $this->getRecord()]); } ``` If you wish to be redirected to the previous page, else the index page: ```php protected function getRedirectUrl(): string { return $this->previousUrl ?? $this->getResource()::getUrl('index'); } ``` #Customizing the save notification ---------------------------------- When the record is successfully updated, a notification is dispatched to the user, which indicates the success of their action. To customize the title of this notification, define a `getSavedNotificationTitle()` method on the edit page class: ```php protected function getSavedNotificationTitle(): ?string { return 'User updated'; } ``` Alternatively, if you’re editing records in a modal action, check out the Actions documentation. You may customize the entire notification by overriding the `getSavedNotification()` method on the edit page class: ```php use Filament\Notifications\Notification; protected function getSavedNotification(): ?Notification { return Notification::make() ->success() ->title('User updated') ->body('The user has been saved successfully.'); } ``` To disable the notification altogether, return `null` from the `getSavedNotification()` method on the edit page class: ```php use Filament\Notifications\Notification; protected function getSavedNotification(): ?Notification { return null; } ``` #Lifecycle hooks ---------------- Hooks may be used to execute code at various points within a page’s lifecycle, like before a form is saved. To set up a hook, create a protected method on the Edit page class with the name of the hook: ```php protected function beforeSave(): void { // ... } ``` In this example, the code in the `beforeSave()` method will be called before the data in the form is saved to the database. There are several available hooks for the Edit pages: ```php use Filament\Resources\Pages\EditRecord; class EditUser extends EditRecord { // ... protected function beforeFill(): void { // Runs before the form fields are populated from the database. } protected function afterFill(): void { // Runs after the form fields are populated from the database. } protected function beforeValidate(): void { // Runs before the form fields are validated when the form is saved. } protected function afterValidate(): void { // Runs after the form fields are validated when the form is saved. } protected function beforeSave(): void { // Runs before the form fields are saved to the database. } protected function afterSave(): void { // Runs after the form fields are saved to the database. } } ``` Alternatively, if you’re editing records in a modal action, check out the Actions documentation. #Saving a part of the form independently ---------------------------------------- You may want to allow the user to save a part of the form independently of the rest of the form. One way to do this is with a section action in the header or footer. From the `action()` method, you can call `saveFormComponentOnly()`, passing in the `Section` component that you want to save: ```php use Filament\Forms\Components\Actions\Action; use Filament\Forms\Components\Section; use Filament\Notifications\Notification; use Filament\Resources\Pages\EditRecord; Section::make('Rate limiting') ->schema([ // ... ]) ->footerActions([ fn (string $operation): Action => Action::make('save') ->action(function (Section $component, EditRecord $livewire) { $livewire->saveFormComponentOnly($component); Notification::make() ->title('Rate limiting saved') ->body('The rate limiting settings have been saved successfully.') ->success() ->send(); }) ->visible($operation === 'edit'), ]) ``` The `$operation` helper is available, to ensure that the action is only visible when the form is being edited. #Halting the saving process --------------------------- At any time, you may call `$this->halt()` from inside a lifecycle hook or mutation method, which will halt the entire saving process: ```php use Filament\Notifications\Actions\Action; use Filament\Notifications\Notification; protected function beforeSave(): void { if (! $this->getRecord()->team->subscribed()) { Notification::make() ->warning() ->title('You don\'t have an active subscription!') ->body('Choose a plan to continue.') ->persistent() ->actions([ Action::make('subscribe') ->button() ->url(route('subscribe'), shouldOpenInNewTab: true), ]) ->send(); $this->halt(); } } ``` Alternatively, if you’re editing records in a modal action, check out the Actions documentation. #Authorization -------------- For authorization, Filament will observe any model policies that are registered in your app. Users may access the Edit page if the `update()` method of the model policy returns `true`. They also have the ability to delete the record if the `delete()` method of the policy returns `true`. #Custom actions --------------- “Actions” are buttons that are displayed on pages, which allow the user to run a Livewire method on the page or visit a URL. On resource pages, actions are usually in 2 places: in the top right of the page, and below the form. For example, you may add a new button action next to “Delete” on the Edit page: ```php use Filament\Actions; use Filament\Resources\Pages\EditRecord; class EditUser extends EditRecord { // ... protected function getHeaderActions(): array { return [ Actions\Action::make('impersonate') ->action(function (): void { // ... }), Actions\DeleteAction::make(), ]; } } ``` Or, a new button next to “Save” below the form: ```php use Filament\Actions\Action; use Filament\Resources\Pages\EditRecord; class EditUser extends EditRecord { // ... protected function getFormActions(): array { return [ ...parent::getFormActions(), Action::make('close')->action('saveAndClose'), ]; } public function saveAndClose(): void { // ... } } ``` To view the entire actions API, please visit the pages section. ### #Adding a save action button to the header The “Save” button can be added to the header of the page by overriding the `getHeaderActions()` method and using `getSaveFormAction()`. You need to pass `formId()` to the action, to specify that the action should submit the form with the ID of `form`, which is the `<form>` ID used in the view of the page: ```php protected function getHeaderActions(): array { return [ $this->getSaveFormAction() ->formId('form'), ]; } ``` You may remove all actions from the form by overriding the `getFormActions()` method to return an empty array: ```php protected function getFormActions(): array { return []; } ``` #Creating another Edit page --------------------------- One Edit page may not be enough space to allow users to navigate many form fields. You can create as many Edit pages for a resource as you want. This is especially useful if you are using resource sub-navigation, as you are then easily able to switch between the different Edit pages. To create an Edit page, you should use the `make:filament-page` command: ```php php artisan make:filament-page EditCustomerContact --resource=CustomerResource --type=EditRecord ``` You must register this new page in your resource’s `getPages()` method: ```php public static function getPages(): array { return [ 'index' => Pages\ListCustomers::route('/'), 'create' => Pages\CreateCustomer::route('/create'), 'view' => Pages\ViewCustomer::route('/{record}'), 'edit' => Pages\EditCustomer::route('/{record}/edit'), 'edit-contact' => Pages\EditCustomerContact::route('/{record}/edit/contact'), ]; } ``` Now, you can define the `form()` for this page, which can contain other fields that are not present on the main Edit page: ```php use Filament\Forms\Form; public function form(Form $form): Form { return $form ->schema([ // ... ]); } ``` #Adding edit pages to resource sub-navigation --------------------------------------------- If you’re using resource sub-navigation, you can register this page as normal in `getRecordSubNavigation()` of the resource: ```php use App\Filament\Resources\CustomerResource\Pages; use Filament\Resources\Pages\Page; public static function getRecordSubNavigation(Page $page): array { return $page->generateNavigationItems([ // ... Pages\EditCustomerContact::class, ]); } ``` #Custom views ------------- For further customization opportunities, you can override the static `$view` property on the page class to a custom view in your app: ```php protected static string $view = 'filament.resources.users.pages.edit-user'; ``` This assumes that you have created a view at `resources/views/filament/resources/users/pages/edit-user.blade.php`. Here’s a basic example of what that view might contain: ```php <x-filament-panels::page> <x-filament-panels::form wire:submit="save"> {{ $this->form }} <x-filament-panels::form.actions :actions="$this->getCachedFormActions()" :full-width="$this->hasFullWidthFormActions()" /> </x-filament-panels::form> @if (count($relationManagers = $this->getRelationManagers())) <x-filament-panels::resources.relation-managers :active-manager="$this->activeRelationManager" :managers="$relationManagers" :owner-record="$record" :page-class="static::class" /> @endif </x-filament-panels::page> ``` To see everything that the default view contains, you can check the `vendor/filament/filament/resources/views/resources/pages/edit-record.blade.php` file in your project.
