How to Resolve 404 Errors on DeleteAction with a Custom Primary Key in Laravel Filament v3

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

Issue Overview:

I'm encountering a 404 error when performing a delete action on my SettingsResource table using Laravel Filament v3. Although my model specifies a custom primary key (key instead of id), deleting a record leads to a 404 error after confirming the deletion in the modal.

Setup and Replication:

Model Configuration

PHP
protected $primaryKey = 'key';

public $incrementing = false;

protected static function getRecordRouteKeyName(): string
{
    return 'key';
}

SettingsResource Implementation

PHP
Tables\Actions\Action::make('delete')
    ->label('Delete')
    ->color('danger')
    ->requiresConfirmation()
    ->icon('heroicon-o-trash')
    ->action(fn (Setting $record) => $record->delete())
    ->after(fn ($livewire) => $livewire->dispatch('reload'))

public static function getEloquentQuery(): Builder
{
    return parent::getEloquentQuery()
        ->withoutGlobalScopes([
            SoftDeletingScope::class,
        ]);
}

protected function getListeners(): array
{
    return [
        'reload' => '$refresh',
    ];
}

Problem:

After deletion, I am stuck with a 404 error because Filament's delete action seems to still expect the default id as the route binding key. I need to understand how to correctly redirect or update the resource so that the deletion completes without error, using my custom primary key.

What I've Tried:

Setting the model's primary key to key and creating a method to return it.
Configuring the DeleteAction in the resource but receiving a 404 error post deletion.

Desired Outcome:
I want Filament to properly use my custom key for route model binding during the delete action, ensuring that the resource redirects or refreshes correctly after a successful deletion.

If anyone has experience with Filament's handling of custom primary keys in resource actions, your insights would be greatly appreciated!

Below is a likely explanation and solution.

Explanation

Filament’s resource actions (like the delete action) expect to work with the model’s route binding key. By default, Filament (and Laravel’s route model binding) expect the primary key to be named "id". In your setup, although you’ve configured your model with a custom primary key ("key") and even provided a method returning "key," Filament is still looking for "id" in the resource URL. This key mismatch causes the delete route not to find the record, resulting in a 404 error.

The Fix

To fix this, you need to ensure that Filament is using your custom key when building resource URLs and performing route model binding. In your resource class, override the method that returns the record route key name so it returns "key" instead of the default "id". For example:

PHP
<?php

namespace App\Filament\Resources;

use App\Models\Setting;
use Filament\Resources\Resource;
use Filament\Resources\Table;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Builder;

class SettingResource extends Resource
{
    protected static ?string $model = Setting::class;

    // This method tells Filament which model column to use for route model binding.
    public static function getRecordRouteKeyName(): string
    {
        return 'key';
    }

    public static function table(Table $table): Table
    {
        return $table
            // your table configuration...
            ->actions([
                Tables\Actions\Action::make('delete')
                    ->label('Delete')
                    ->color('danger')
                    ->requiresConfirmation()
                    ->icon('heroicon-o-trash')
                    ->action(fn (Setting $record) => $record->delete())
                    ->after(fn ($livewire) => $livewire->dispatch('reload')),
            ]);
    }

    public static function getEloquentQuery(): Builder
    {
        return parent::getEloquentQuery()
            ->withoutGlobalScopes([
                SoftDeletingScope::class,
            ]);
    }

    protected function getListeners(): array
    {
        return [
            'reload' => '$refresh',
        ];
    }
}

Recap

Your model is configured to use 'key' as the primary key.
Filament needs to know that the route binding should also use the custom key.
Overriding getRecordRouteKeyName() in your resource (or ensuring it is used in your model) tells Filament to build URLs, link records, and handle route model binding using "key".

With this change, the delete action should find the record correctly, and the 404 error should be resolved.
