Trigger an action when updating a column's state

Using an editable column like SelectColumn or ToggleColumn, you can conditionally trigger a modal form when a certain option is selected.

In this example, selecting a specific status (like "Redirected ") opens a modal with additional fields to fill, while other options simply update the record directly.

 1public static function table(Table $table): Table
 2{
 3    return $table
 4        ->columns([
 5
 6            Tables\Columns\SelectColumn::make('status')
 7                ->updateStateUsing(function (string $state, Pages\ListPosts $livewire, Post $record) {
 8                    if ($state === PostStatus::REDIRECTED->value) {
 9                        $livewire->mountTableAction('redirectPost', $record->getKey()); // this will open the modal
10                    } else {
11                        $record->update(['status' => $state]);
12                    }
13                })
14                ->options(PostStatus::class),
15
16        ])
17        ->actions([
18
19            Tables\Actions\Action::make('redirectPost')
20                ->fillForm(fn(Post $record) => ['redirect_id' => $record->redirect_id])
21                ->form([
22                    Forms\Components\Select::make('redirect_id')
23                        ->label('Redirect to')
24                        ->relationship('redirectTo', 'title')
25                        ->required(),
26                ])
27                ->action(fn($data, Post $record) => $record->update([
28                    'status'      => PostStatus::REDIRECTED,
29                    'redirect_id' => $data[ 'redirect_id' ],
30                ]))
31
32        ]);
