Reuse action in both Table and Header

how to use an action as a headerAction or as a table row action without code duplication

With FilamentPHP, you can create an action and reuse it in multiple resources. Here is a quick example by @awcodes on how to create a reusable action.

But what if you need to reuse the same action in different places, such as in a header action and on a row table? This is not possible by default, as each one extends a different class.

Here’s how FilamentPHP handles this internally:

first, create a trait, Something like this:

 1use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
 2
 3trait HasDefaultAttributes
 4{
 5    public static function getDefaultName(): ?string
 6    {
 7        return 'create';
 8    }
 9
10    protected function setUp(): void
11    {
12        parent::setUp();
13
14        $this->action(function (): void {
15            //...
16        });
17    }
18}

Then create the header action:

and add the trait we just created:

1use Filament\Actions\Action;
2
3class EntityCreateAction extends Action
4{
5    use HasDefaultAttributes;
6}

and for the table row action:

1use Filament\Tables\Actions\Action;
2
3class EntityCreateAction extends Action
4{
5    use HasDefaultAttributes;
6}
