How can I access modal form data ('how_many') in FilamentPHP's handleRecordCreation method?

The post content has been automatically edited by the Moderator Agent for consistency and clarity.

I'm trying to customize the record creation process in FilamentPHP. In my resource's CreatePage, I merge data from a confirmation modal into the component's main data, but when handleRecordCreation is invoked, the $data parameter does not include the how_many field coming from the modal.

Here's my current implementation:

PHP
protected function handleRecordCreation(array $data): Model
    {
        // Here I want to access the data coming from the main form AND from the modal ('how_many' field)
        // $data DOES NOT contains "how_many"
        
    }

    protected function getCreateFormAction(): \Filament\Actions\Action
    {
        return \Filament\Actions\Action::make('create')
            ->label(__('filament-panels::resources/pages/create-record.form.actions.create.label'))
            ->requiresConfirmation()
            ->form([
                Select::make('how_many')
                    ->label(__('site.howMany'))
                    ->options(collect(range(1, 20))->mapWithKeys(fn($number) => [$number => $number])),
            ])
            ->modalDescription('Desc')
            ->action(function (CreateAnimal $livewire, array $data) {
                $livewire->data = array_merge($livewire->data, $data); // HERE $livewire->data contains "how_many"
                $livewire->create();
            })
            ->keyBindings(['mod+s']);
    }

I would like to know how I can access the value of how_many inside the handleRecordCreation method. Any guidance is appreciated.

Thank you for your help.

You can merge the modal’s data into the component’s main data and then access it inside your overriding method. In your action callback you’re already doing:

PHP
$livewire->data = array_merge($livewire->data, $data);
$livewire->create();

Then, in your handleRecordCreation method the main $data parameter won’t include the extra field because it’s coming from the modal. However, since you merged the modal’s input into a component property (for example, $this->data), you can access it there. For example:

PHP
protected function handleRecordCreation(array $data): Model
{
    // Get the additional value 'how_many' from the component's data.
    $howMany = $this->data['how_many'] ?? null;

    // Now you can use $howMany along with $data from the main form.
    // For instance, if you need to create multiple records based upon that value.
    
    // Your custom record creation logic:
    // For example:
    $record = YourModel::create($data);

    // Optionally create additional records or perform extra processing using $howMany.
    
    return $record;
}

This way you leverage the merged data from the modal (stored in $this->data) and access the value of how_many as needed.
