Tip: I highly recommend the TableRepeater plugin by Martin Hwang. It accepts all the methods in the tutorial, and the resulting table is much more compact and nicer to look at than the original.
Laravel Filament on project with laravel-modules(nwidart/laravel-modules). The filament admin showing now found
Very very useful this part of repeaters. Anyhow, I am having trouble for an invoice with multiple items to show the total amount of the invoice in a field summing up all the items' amount. I could do that in the background afterwards, but my customer wants to see the total amount accumulated so far. Any ideas of how to show the SUM of all the ITEMS included (the field of the items is called AMOUNT)?
Thks a lot.
I found a solutions which is working!!! Inside the function afterStateUpdated(function ($state, callable $set, callable $get) {} I have first taken the array only with the items and only the column I want to be summed. Then I assign the sum of that array only column to $sumaItemsColumn variable and, finally, I set the value to the field (which is shown but disabled). $itemsColumn = array_column($get('../../items'), 'amount'); $sumaItemsColumn = array_sum($itemsColumn); $set('../../subtotal', number_format($sumaItemsColumn,2));
The key was finding how to reference items from inside items in the invoice ==> ../../items (or whatever name your repeater has).
Hope helps someone else.
Hi Albert,
Thanks for sharing. I've been trying to accomplish a similar thing where the amount is calculated from lines inserted via relation manager. In that case, the answer seems to be using Livewire events. There is an example in this StackOverflow question: https://stackoverflow.com/a/74982813
Hope its also useful to someone.
Great course. Can we use Filament in a user facing way outside of an admin panel? In your course example could you create a user facing order form?
My understanding was that you can install Filament Admin Panel which includes Form Builder, Table Builder and Notifications for admin, but you can also install these modules separately for user facing applications. Did I get this completely wrong? E.g. from Form builder doc:
The form builder comes pre-installed inside the admin panel 2.x, but you must still follow the installation instructions below if you're using it in the rest of your app.
I tried to use the replicateaction function on the table to duplicate invoice and invoice items. However I can only get the duplicate invoice but not of the invoice items. Is there a way or reading material you can recommend to acomplish this? I saw a video you did in the past using a package called cloner. I guess I can use this in the front end, but would really like using this function in the admin panel. Thanks for your help
I wanted invoices to be editable, so put back the 'edit' item into the getPages() function. On opening the edit form, the prices of existing invoice items are not shown. To fix that, I duplicated the afterStateUpdated method as shown in the tutorial, then changed it to afterStateHydrated.
This seems to work nicely - is it the best way to achieve this?
Good question, I never tried it. I guess your other comment about TableRepeater is the better answer.
