How can we help you?

Hello,

Is it possible to force a ViewAction (in the actions of a table) to open the "detail" view in a modal even if the Resource has a ViewPage?

Thanks for your help.

Just removing the 'view' page in the getPages() method?

Hi, thanks for your answer.

The table is reused on many pages and I want, depending on which page it is, to open a modal or the ViewPage.

I had a similar problem, I wanted to open the create action in a ListRecords to open in a model, instead of a new page.

class ListYears extends ListRecords
{
    protected static string $resource = YearResource::class;

    protected function getHeaderActions(): array
    {
        return [
            Actions\CreateAction::make()->url(null),
        ];
    }
}

I tested it in a table too, you can just append ->url(null) to the ViewAction and it will open in a table:

class UserResource extends Resource
{
    public static function table(Table $table): Table
    {
        return $table
            ->columns([
                //...
            ])
            ->actions([
                EditAction::make(),
                ViewAction::make()->url(null),
            ]);
    }
}

It would be useful to document this or add a method to force it (forceOpenInModal).
In my case, I want to open it in a Modal, because it is a really simple resource and you immediately see the new item in the list, makes the user experience better. I still need the separate create page and route, because I have some buttons that link to the page to create new records.
