Nova action with custom message for confirmation - tool required? - laravel

Question

In the Nova docs, it is indicated that fields can be used to require input from a user before dispatching an action.
https://nova.laravel.com/docs/3.0/actions/defining-actions.html#action-fields
public function fields()
{
return [
Text::make('Subject'),
];
}
These fields are referenced in handle:
public function handle(ActionFields $fields, Collection $models)
{
foreach ($models as $model) {
(new AccountData($model))->send($fields->subject);
}
}
It is unclear from the docs what AccountData should be. When I instantiate a model, it tells me send is undefined. What is the simplest way to get a modal to popup that includes the defined fields?

Answer 1

What you should do is to create a new action with artisan nova:action and in that actions fields method define the fields user should fill out. They work in the same way as normal fields in a resource.
Then inside the actions method inside the resource where you want the action, you add it to the return array in actions method.
eg:
inside resource:
public function actions(Request $request)
{
return [
QuickImportAction::make($this->resource, $request)->standalone()
];
)
And then inside the Nova/Actions/ after action is generated:
public function handle(ActionFields $fields, Collection $models)
{
if($models->count()>0) return Action::danger("Replace in filters is not ready, unselect and replace in all");
}
/**
* Get the fields available on the action.
*
* #return array
*/
public function fields()
{
$replace = "";
return [
Heading::make("<div class=' text-secondary'> NOTE! only selected filters rows will be replaced</div>")
->textAlign('center')->asHtml(),
];
)
EDIT:
Sorry, let me reply to your actual question. The
(new <class>)->method
Is the same as:
$model = new MyModel();
$model->method()
So its different from application to application.
