README

A Filament plugin that prevents users from updating outdated records.

When an outdated record is detected, the update process is stopped and a notification is shown to the user.

A record is considered outdated when it has been modified more recently by another user or when its changes have already been saved. This check is performed based on the updated_at attribute.

Requirements

• PHP 8.2 or higher
• Laravel 11.28 or higher
• Filament 4.0 or higher

Installation

Require the package using Composer:

composer require balismatz/filament-prevent-outdated-record-update

Translate the notification

Currently, the notification text is available in English (en) and Greek (el).

If you want to add your own translations or customize the existing ones, publish the language files:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="BalisMatz\FilamentPreventOutdatedRecordUpdate\FilamentPreventOutdatedRecordUpdateServiceProvider"

Pull requests for additional language translations are welcome.

Usage

Edit action

To prevent outdated record updates on edit action, call the preventOutdatedRecordUpdate() method.

EditAction::make()
    ->label('Edit record')
    ->preventOutdatedRecordUpdate()

The package uses the beforeFormValidated() action hook. If you are also using this hook, you must call it before the preventOutdatedRecordUpdate() method.

EditAction::make()
    ->label('Edit record')
    ->beforeFormValidated(function () {
        // ...
    })
    ->preventOutdatedRecordUpdate()

Edit record (page)

To prevent outdated record updates on the edit record (page), use the PreventsOutdatedRecordUpdate trait.

<?php

namespace App\Filament\Resources\Posts\Pages;

use BalisMatz\FilamentPreventOutdatedRecordUpdate\Concerns\PreventsOutdatedRecordUpdate;
use Filament\Resources\Pages\EditRecord;

class EditPost extends EditRecord
{
    use PreventsOutdatedRecordUpdate;

    // ...
}

The package uses the beforeSave() hook. If you are also using this hook, you can use the PreventsOutdatedRecordUpdate trait, as shown in the following example:

<?php

namespace App\Filament\Resources\Posts\Pages;

use BalisMatz\FilamentPreventOutdatedRecordUpdate\Concerns\PreventsOutdatedRecordUpdate;
use Filament\Resources\Pages\EditRecord;

class EditPost extends EditRecord
{
    use PreventsOutdatedRecordUpdate {
        beforeSave as preventsOutdatedRecordUpdateBeforeSave;
    }

    // ...

    protected function beforeSave(): void
    {
        // ...

        $this->preventsOutdatedRecordUpdateBeforeSave();

        // ...
    }

    // ...
}
