Allow Resource Level Configuration For Inclusion/Excusion

[maukoese]

First of all, thank you so much for this plugin, it's the best!

I'm using it in conjunction with the filament modules plugin, and a lot of resources, and indeed models, are in the respective modules, and for separation of concerns, I cannot include/exclude them in the panel provider configuration.

My suggestion: we can have a protected static $isExcludedFromQuickCreate variable or function isExcudedFromQuickCreate(): bool {} method that will determine whether the resource should be shown or not.

As you can see in the image above, pretty much all the menus on the left are clusters from separate modules, and some of the resources showing up on the Quick create need to be excluded

Why can you not include/exclude them from the panel provider?

Hello,

The modules are developed independently, and each can have as many as 5 different resources - it's not possible to know all the resources beforehand.

We had an issue with models and ended up using Model::resolveRelationUsing() method to register relationships for core models and the module models.

But the developer knows what modules they are including and can add them to the includes/excludes array.

You can also use the Filament facade to get a list of all registered resources and define the array before passing it to the plugin.

Separation of concerns are key here. It's a bit like WordPress. The panels are defined in core, and while the modules know the core structure doesn't have to know the structure of the modules. I can implement this. Just need to add a check for existence of the property and method rendering before; and falling back to true,

Something like:

 public function getResources(): array
    {
        $resources = filled($this->getIncludes())
            ? $this->getIncludes()
            : $this->evaluate($this->getResourcesUsing);

        $list = collect($resources)
            ->filter(fn ($item): bool => ! in_array($item, $this->getExcludes()))
            ->map(function ($resourceName): ?array {
                $resource = app($resourceName);

                if (Filament::hasTenancy() && ! Filament::getTenant()) {
                    return null;
                }

               /// we add this simple check here
               if(method_exists($resource, 'excludeFromQuickCreate') && true === $resource->excludeFromQuickCreate) {
                    return null;
              }

                if ($resource->canCreate()) {

... rest of code

You can override the way the plugin gets it's resources with ->getResourcesUsing(function () {...}) to set what resources should be loaded in. Maybe handle the check there. You can get all the registered resources from the panel instance $panel->getResources() or with the Filament facade Filament::getCurrentOrDefaultPanel()->getResources();

[maukoese]

Hello, thank you for your guidance. However, it did not work for me.

A suggestion: perhaps pass the resolved resources to the callback function so that we dont't have to call Filament::getCurrentOrDefaultPanel()->getResources() (mine returns an empty array for some reason).

So then the userland implementation could be as follows:

...
->getResourcesUsing(function ($resources) {
// here one can use array_map or array_filter to remove the resouces they don't need based on a flag
})

This would be done in the getResources method of the plugin, when resolving $this->evaluate($this->getResourcesUsing); - we can pass the resoved resources there so they are available to the callback function

[awcodes]

Are you using includes() and getResourcesUsing() at the same time?

[awcodes]

Can you give me a reproduction repo? I'm struggling to see the issue since the method isn't called until after the filament lifecycle has completed. It doesn't make sense to me that you're getting an empty array for the resources off the filament facade.

[awcodes]

Ie, it doesn't make sense to me to pass resources into method whose responsibility is to get the resources.

It's okay. I figured out a way. Created a custom Livewire component and use a renderHook, achieved what I needed with the following:

<?php

namespace App\Livewire;

use Filament\Facades\Filament;
use Illuminate\Support\Str;
use Livewire\Component;

class QuickCreate extends Component
{
    public array $resources = [];

    public function mount(): void
    {
        $this->resources = collect(Filament::getCurrentOrDefaultPanel()->getResources())
            ->filter(fn ($resource) => !(app($resource)->disableQuickCreate ?? false))
            ->map(function ($resource) {
                $instance = app($resource);
                return [
                    'label' => Str::singular($instance->getNavigationLabel()),
                    'icon'  => $instance->getNavigationIcon(),
                    'link'  => $instance->getUrl('create'),
                ];
            })
            ->values()
            ->toArray();
    }

    public function render()
    {

        return <<<'blade'
            <x-filament::dropdown placement="bottom-start">
                <x-slot name="trigger">
                    <x-filament::icon-button 
                        icon="heroicon-m-plus" 
                        color="gray" 
                        size="lg" 
                        tooltip="Create" 
                    />
                </x-slot>

                <x-filament::dropdown.list>
                    @foreach ($resources as $resource)
                        <x-filament::dropdown.list.item 
                            :icon="$resource['icon']"
                            :href="$resource['link']" 
                            tag="a"
                        >
                            {{ $resource['label'] }}
                        </x-filament::dropdown.list.item>
                    @endforeach
                </x-filament::dropdown.list>
            </x-filament::dropdown>
        blade;
    }
}

->renderHook(
          PanelsRenderHook::USER_MENU_BEFORE,
          fn(): string => Blade::render('@livewire(\'quick-create\')'),
      )

this is enough to achieve the same functionality as the plugin
