Buttons

Basics

Buttons are displayed on resource pages: index page, form pages (create / edit), and detail page. They are responsible for basic actions with elements and are components of ActionButton.

In MoonShine, there are many methods that allow you to override either a single button for the resource or an entire group.

More detailed information about the ActionButton component.

The buttons for creating, viewing, editing, deleting, and mass deleting are placed in separate classes to apply all necessary methods to them and thereby eliminate duplication, as these buttons are also used in HasMany, BelongsToMany, etc.

Create button

The modifyCreateButton() method allows you to modify the button for creating a new item.

// torchlight! {"summaryCollapsedIndicator": "namespaces"} // [tl! collapse:1] use MoonShine\Contracts\UI\ActionButtonContract; protected function modifyCreateButton(ActionButtonContract $button): ActionButtonContract { return $button->error(); } 
 namespaces
use MoonShine\Contracts\UI\ActionButtonContract;
 
protected function modifyCreateButton(ActionButtonContract $button): ActionButtonContract
{
    return $button->error();
}

You can also override the button.

// torchlight! {"summaryCollapsedIndicator": "namespaces"} // [tl! collapse:2] use MoonShine\Contracts\UI\ActionButtonContract; use MoonShine\UI\Components\ActionButton; protected function modifyCreateButton(ActionButtonContract $button): ActionButtonContract { return ActionButton::make('Create'); } 
 namespaces
use MoonShine\Contracts\UI\ActionButtonContract;
use MoonShine\UI\Components\ActionButton;
 
protected function modifyCreateButton(ActionButtonContract $button): ActionButtonContract
{
    return ActionButton::make('Create');
}

Detail button

The modifyDetailButton() method allows you to modify or override the button for viewing the details of an item.

// torchlight! {"summaryCollapsedIndicator": "namespaces"} // [tl! collapse:1] use MoonShine\Contracts\UI\ActionButtonContract; protected function modifyDetailButton(ActionButtonContract $button): ActionButtonContract { return $button->warning(); } 
 namespaces
use MoonShine\Contracts\UI\ActionButtonContract;
 
protected function modifyDetailButton(ActionButtonContract $button): ActionButtonContract
{
    return $button->warning();
}

Edit button

The modifyEditButton() method allows you to modify or override the button for editing an item.

// torchlight! {"summaryCollapsedIndicator": "namespaces"} // [tl! collapse:1] use MoonShine\Contracts\UI\ActionButtonContract; protected function modifyEditButton(ActionButtonContract $button): ActionButtonContract { return $button->icon('pencil-square'); } 
 namespaces
use MoonShine\Contracts\UI\ActionButtonContract;
 
protected function modifyEditButton(ActionButtonContract $button): ActionButtonContract

Delete button

The modifyDeleteButton() method allows you to modify or override the button for deleting an item.

// torchlight! {"summaryCollapsedIndicator": "namespaces"} // [tl! collapse:1] use MoonShine\Contracts\UI\ActionButtonContract; protected function modifyDeleteButton(ActionButtonContract $button): ActionButtonContract { return $button->icon('x-mark'); } 
 namespaces
use MoonShine\Contracts\UI\ActionButtonContract;
 
protected function modifyDeleteButton(ActionButtonContract $button): ActionButtonContract
{
    return $button->icon('x-mark');
}

Mass delete button

The modifyMassDeleteButton() method allows you to modify or override the button for mass deleting.

// torchlight! {"summaryCollapsedIndicator": "namespaces"} // [tl! collapse:1] use MoonShine\Contracts\UI\ActionButtonContract; protected function modifyMassDeleteButton(ActionButtonContract $button): ActionButtonContract { return $button->icon('x-mark'); } 
 namespaces
use MoonShine\Contracts\UI\ActionButtonContract;
 
protected function modifyMassDeleteButton(ActionButtonContract $button): ActionButtonContract
{
    return $button->icon('x-mark');
}

Filters button

Modification

The modifyFiltersButton() method allows you to modify or overwrite the filters button.

// torchlight! {"summaryCollapsedIndicator": "namespaces"} // [tl! collapse:1] use MoonShine\Contracts\UI\ActionButtonContract; protected function modifyFiltersButton(ActionButtonContract $button): ActionButtonContract { return $button->error(); } 
 namespaces
use MoonShine\Contracts\UI\ActionButtonContract;
 
protected function modifyFiltersButton(ActionButtonContract $button): ActionButtonContract
{
    return $button->error();
}

Top buttons on index page

By default, the model resource index page has only a create button. The topButtons() method allows you to add additional buttons.

// torchlight! {"summaryCollapsedIndicator": "namespaces"} // [tl! collapse:4] use MoonShine\UI\Components\ActionButton; use MoonShine\Support\AlpineJs; use MoonShine\Support\Enums\JsEvent; use MoonShine\Support\ListOf; protected function topButtons(): ListOf { return parent::topButtons()->add( ActionButton::make('Refresh', '#') ->dispatchEvent(AlpineJs::event(JsEvent::TABLE_UPDATED, $this->getListComponentName())) ); } 
 namespaces
use MoonShine\UI\Components\ActionButton;
use MoonShine\Support\AlpineJs;
use MoonShine\Support\Enums\JsEvent;
use MoonShine\Support\ListOf;
 
protected function topButtons(): ListOf
{
    return parent::topButtons()->add(
      ActionButton::make('Refresh', '#')
            ->dispatchEvent(AlpineJs::event(JsEvent::TABLE_UPDATED, $this->getListComponentName()))
  );
}

Index table buttons

To add buttons in the index table, use the indexButtons() method.

// torchlight! {"summaryCollapsedIndicator": "namespaces"} // [tl! collapse:3] use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model; use MoonShine\UI\Components\ActionButton; use MoonShine\Support\ListOf; protected function indexButtons(): ListOf { return parent::indexButtons()->prepend( ActionButton::make( 'Link', fn(Model $item) => '/endpoint?id=' . $item->getKey() ) ); } 
 namespaces
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use MoonShine\UI\Components\ActionButton;
use MoonShine\Support\ListOf;
 
protected function indexButtons(): ListOf
{
    return parent::indexButtons()->prepend(
        ActionButton::make(
            'Link',
            fn(Model $item) => '/endpoint?id=' . $item->getKey()
        )
    );
}

For bulk actions with elements, you need to add the bulk() method.

// torchlight! {"summaryCollapsedIndicator": "namespaces"} // [tl! collapse:2] use MoonShine\UI\Components\ActionButton; use MoonShine\Support\ListOf; protected function indexButtons(): ListOf { return parent::indexButtons()->prepend( ActionButton::make('Link', '/endpoint') ->bulk() ); } 
 namespaces
use MoonShine\UI\Components\ActionButton;
use MoonShine\Support\ListOf;
 
protected function indexButtons(): ListOf
{
    return parent::indexButtons()->prepend(
        ActionButton::make('Link', '/endpoint')
            ->bulk()
    );
}

Form buttons

To add buttons to the form page, use the formButtons() method.

// torchlight! {"summaryCollapsedIndicator": "namespaces"} // [tl! collapse:2] use MoonShine\UI\Components\ActionButton; use MoonShine\Support\ListOf; protected function formButtons(): ListOf { return parent::formButtons()->add(ActionButton::make('Link')->method('updateSomething')); } 
 namespaces
use MoonShine\UI\Components\ActionButton;
use MoonShine\Support\ListOf;
 
protected function formButtons(): ListOf
{
    return parent::formButtons()->add(ActionButton::make('Link')->method('updateSomething'));
}

resource_buttons_form resource_buttons_form_dark

The formBuilderButtons() method allows you to add additional buttons in the create or edit form.

// torchlight! {"summaryCollapsedIndicator": "namespaces"} // [tl! collapse:2] use MoonShine\UI\Components\ActionButton; use MoonShine\Support\ListOf; protected function formBuilderButtons(): ListOf { return parent::formBuilderButtons()->add( ActionButton::make('Back', fn() => $this->getIndexPageUrl())->class('btn-lg') ); } 
 namespaces
use MoonShine\UI\Components\ActionButton;
use MoonShine\Support\ListOf;
 
protected function formBuilderButtons(): ListOf
{
    return parent::formBuilderButtons()->add(
      ActionButton::make('Back', fn() => $this->getIndexPageUrl())->class('btn-lg')
    );
}

Detail page buttons

To add buttons to the detail view page, use the detailButtons() method.

// torchlight! {"summaryCollapsedIndicator": "namespaces"} // [tl! collapse:2] use MoonShine\UI\Components\ActionButton; use MoonShine\Support\ListOf; protected function detailButtons(): ListOf { return parent::detailButtons()->add(ActionButton::make('Link', '/endpoint')); }
