TableWidget with InteractsWithPageTable trait not working due to function name conflict

How can we help you?

I have a page that implements ListRecords, so has a table. To this page I want to add a table widget that interacts with the table on the page. The problem is that the TableWidget class requires the getTablePage(): int function to be implemented , but the InteractsWithPageTable trait requires the getTablePage(): string function to be overriden. So two functions with the same name and no args need to be implemented in the widget, which is not possible.

How can I add a tablewidget that can interact with the table on the page?

The code:

class ListPurchases extends ListRecords
{
    use ExposesTableToWidgets;
    
    ...

    protected function getFooterWidgets(): array
    {
        return [
            PurchasesTableConsumptions::class,
        ];
    }
}

class PurchasesTableConsumptions extends TableWidget
{
    use InteractsWithPageTable;

    // Needed by TableWidget base class.
    public function getTablePage(): int
    {
        return 0;
    }

    // Needed by InteractsWithPageTable trait.
    protected function getTablePage(): string
    {
        return ListPurchases::class;
    }
}

Well I fixed it by copying InteractsWithPageTable and prefixing all fields and some methods with page. But I do think this is something that should be fixed. There is no reason to not allow the usage of InteractsWithPageTable on a TableWidget.

Thanks.
