How to access current entity from configureActions() ?

[nrob81]

Hello,

I trying to buld an action in crud controller, similar to the delete action (with 'formaction' html attribute to set the forms action) i need to access somehow the current entity's id but dont know, how.

my code is:

public function configureActions(Actions $actions): Actions
{
    $formAction = $this->adminUrlGenerator
        ->setController(self::class)
        ->setAction(self::ACTION_SEND_PASSWORD_RESET_LINK)
        ->setEntityId(123) // <--- here i need the actual entity
        ->removeReferrer()
        ->generateUrl();

    $sendPasswordResetLink = Action::new('send-password-reset-link', t('Send password reset link'))
        ->linkToRoute('asd', fn (User $user) => ['id' => $user->getId()])
        ->setHtmlAttributes([
            'formaction' => $formAction,
            'data-bs-toggle' => 'modal',
            'data-bs-target' => '#modal-send-password-reset-link',
        ]);

    return $actions
        ->add(Crud::PAGE_INDEX, $sendPasswordResetLink);
}

can somebody help me out with this? thank you

Hi,

On edit function, you have the context: $context->getEntity()->getInstance(); or in some function $this->getContext()->getEntity()->getInstance();

Here the context is still empty, but the entityId is in the url.

You can try that:

private $request;

public function __construct(RequestStack $requestStack)
{
    $this->request = $requestStack;
}

public function configureActions(Actions $actions): Actions
{
    $entityId = $this->request->getCurrentRequest()->get('entityId');
    if($entityId) {
        dump($entityId);
    }
    ...
}

thank you, i dont need the selected user, which is loaded for edit, but every user in the table to fetch their id and put it in a html property of an action link.

I think it’s not possible with the attributes.

Maybe create a feature request to add callable support to setHtmlAttributes() like it’s already possible with linkToRoute(). I think it makes sense to add it. For example if you wanna trigger JavaScript behavior, combine with Stimulus, etc.

Would something like this be good enough ?

private function processAction(string $pageName, ActionDto $actionDto, ?EntityDto $entityDto = null): ActionDto
{
    // ...

    $actionDto->setTemplatePath($actionDto->getTemplatePath() ?? $defaultTemplatePath);
    $actionDto->setLinkUrl($this->generateActionUrl($adminContext->getRequest(), $actionDto, $entityDto));

    $htmlAttributes = [];
    foreach ($actionDto->getHtmlAttributes() as $attrName => $htmlAttribute) {
        if (! \is_callable($htmlAttribute)) {
            $htmlAttributes[$attrName] = $htmlAttribute;

            continue;
        }

        if ($entityDto?->getInstance() !== null) {
            $htmlAttributes[$attrName] = $htmlAttribute($entityDto->getInstance());
        }
    }

    $actionDto->setHtmlAttributes($htmlAttributes);

    // ...

    return $actionDto;
}

Seems like an easy feature for me, but I'm very new to this bundle.

Use example :

public function configureActions(Actions $actions): Actions
{
    $action = Action::new('test', 'test')
        ->linkToCrudAction('test')
        ->setHtmlAttributes([
            'data-bs-toggle' => 'modal',
            'data-bs-target' => '#reset-password-modal',
            'data-user' => static fn (User $u): int => $u->getId(),
        ])
    ;
    $actions->add(Crud::PAGE_INDEX, $action);

    return $actions;
}

Html result

<a
    class="dropdown-item action-test"
    data-bs-toggle="modal"
    data-bs-target="#reset-password-modal"
    data-user="6"
    data-action-name="test"
>
    <span class="action-label">
        Test
    </span>
</a>

The solution to this has not yet been provided. The only feature that needs to be implemented is to allow setHtmlAttributes accept a callable just like linkToUrl and other related Action methods.

public function configureActions(Actions $actions): Actions
{
    $action = Action::new('test', 'test')
        ->linkToCrudAction('test')
        ->setHtmlAttributes(function(EntityInstance $user) {
            return [
                'data-bs-toggle' => 'modal',
                'data-bs-target' => '#reset-password-modal',
                'data-user' => $user->getId(),
            ]
        })
    ;
    $actions->add(Crud::PAGE_INDEX, $action);

    return $actions;
}

Let us keep anticipating with hope that this feature will be added in future.
