You are currently viewing the documentation for Filament 3.x, which is a previous version of Filament.
Looking for the current stable version? Visit the [5.x documentation](/5.x/actions).
## Overview
Filament includes a prebuilt action that is able to edit Eloquent records. When the trigger button is clicked, a modal will open with a form inside. The user fills the form, and that data is validated and saved into the database. You may use it like so:
```php theme={"theme":"gruvbox-dark-hard"}
use Filament\Actions\EditAction;
use Filament\Forms\Components\TextInput;
EditAction::make()
->record($this->post)
->form([
TextInput::make('title')
->required()
->maxLength(255),
// ...
])
```
If you want to edit table rows, you can use the `Filament\Tables\Actions\EditAction` instead:
```php theme={"theme":"gruvbox-dark-hard"}
use Filament\Forms\Components\TextInput;
use Filament\Tables\Actions\EditAction;
use Filament\Tables\Table;
public function table(Table $table): Table
{
return $table
->actions([
EditAction::make()
->form([
TextInput::make('title')
->required()
->maxLength(255),
// ...
]),
]);
}
```
## Customizing data before filling the form
You may wish to modify the data from a record before it is filled into the form. To do this, you may use the `mutateRecordDataUsing()` method to modify the `$data` array, and return the modified version before it is filled into the form:
```php theme={"theme":"gruvbox-dark-hard"}
EditAction::make()
->mutateRecordDataUsing(function (array $data): array {
$data['user_id'] = auth()->id();
return $data;
})
```
## Customizing data before saving
Sometimes, you may wish to modify form data before it is finally saved to the database. To do this, you may use the `mutateFormDataUsing()` method, which has access to the `$data` as an array, and returns the modified version:
```php theme={"theme":"gruvbox-dark-hard"}
EditAction::make()
->mutateFormDataUsing(function (array $data): array {
$data['last_edited_by_id'] = auth()->id();
return $data;
})
```
## Customizing the saving process
You can tweak how the record is updated with the `using()` method:
```php theme={"theme":"gruvbox-dark-hard"}
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
EditAction::make()
->using(function (Model $record, array $data): Model {
$record->update($data);
return $record;
})
```
## Redirecting after saving
You may set up a custom redirect when the form is submitted using the `successRedirectUrl()` method:
```php theme={"theme":"gruvbox-dark-hard"}
EditAction::make()
->successRedirectUrl(route('posts.list'))
```
If you want to redirect using the created record, use the `$record` parameter:
```php theme={"theme":"gruvbox-dark-hard"}
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
EditAction::make()
->successRedirectUrl(fn (Model $record): string => route('posts.view', [
'post' => $record,
]))
```
## Customizing the save notification
When the record is successfully updated, a notification is dispatched to the user, which indicates the success of their action.
To customize the title of this notification, use the `successNotificationTitle()` method:
```php theme={"theme":"gruvbox-dark-hard"}
EditAction::make()
->successNotificationTitle('User updated')
```
You may customize the entire notification using the `successNotification()` method:
```php theme={"theme":"gruvbox-dark-hard"}
use Filament\Notifications\Notification;
EditAction::make()
->successNotification(
Notification::make()
->success()
->title('User updated')
->body('The user has been saved successfully.'),
)
```
To disable the notification altogether, use the `successNotification(null)` method:
```php theme={"theme":"gruvbox-dark-hard"}
EditAction::make()
->successNotification(null)
```
## Lifecycle hooks
Hooks may be used to execute code at various points within the action's lifecycle, like before a form is saved.
There are several available hooks:
```php theme={"theme":"gruvbox-dark-hard"}
EditAction::make()
->beforeFormFilled(function () {
// Runs before the form fields are populated from the database.
})
->afterFormFilled(function () {
// Runs after the form fields are populated from the database.
})
->beforeFormValidated(function () {
// Runs before the form fields are validated when the form is saved.
})
->afterFormValidated(function () {
// Runs after the form fields are validated when the form is saved.
})
->before(function () {
// Runs before the form fields are saved to the database.
})
->after(function () {
// Runs after the form fields are saved to the database.
})
```
## Halting the saving process
At any time, you may call `$action->halt()` from inside a lifecycle hook or mutation method, which will halt the entire saving process:
```php theme={"theme":"gruvbox-dark-hard"}
use App\Models\Post;
use Filament\Notifications\Actions\Action;
use Filament\Notifications\Notification;
use Filament\Tables\Actions\EditAction;
EditAction::make()
->before(function (EditAction $action, Post $record) {
if (! $record->team->subscribed()) {
Notification::make()
->warning()
->title('You don\'t have an active subscription!')
->body('Choose a plan to continue.')
->persistent()
->actions([
Action::make('subscribe')
->button()
->url(route('subscribe'), shouldOpenInNewTab: true),
])
->send();
$action->halt();
}
})
```
If you'd like the action modal to close too, you can completely `cancel()` the action instead of halting it:
```php theme={"theme":"gruvbox-dark-hard"}
$action->cancel();
```
