Adding Bulk Actions To Custom TypeRocket Resource Tables

In the previous tutorial, we covered creating a custom flight resource table. Let's extend the functionality of that flight table and add bulk actions. In this tutorial, we will add bulk deleting.

#Add Bulk Actions

To add bulk actions, first, locate the flights/index.php view file and open it. Then, add the following to the table object.

$table = tr_table();

// Add Bulk Actions
$table->setBulkActions(tr_form()->useConfirm(), [
    'Delete' => 'delete'
]);

$table->setColumns([
    // ...
], 'customer.display_name');

$table->render();

Once added, you will see checkboxes on the listed records, and a bulk actions select list at the bottom of the table with an "Apply" button.

#Add Bulk To The Flight Controller

Now, add a bulk() method to the \App\Controllers\FlightController.

public function bulk(Request $request)
{
        $action = $request->fields('tr_bulk_action');
        $ids = $request->getDataPost('bulk');

        $redirect = tr_redirect()->toPage('flight', 'index');

        if(!empty($ids) && $action === 'delete') {
            Flight::new()->delete($ids);
            return $redirect->withFlash('Records deleted: ' . implode(', ', $ids));
        }

        return $redirect->withFlash('No bulk action selected.', 'error');
}

#Map PUT Requests In Admin Page

Next, we need to map the index route's PUT request to the bulk method on the controller.

tr_resource_pages('Flight@\App\Controllers\FlightController', 'Flights')
            ->setIcon('dashicons-airplane')
            ->mapAction('PUT', 'bulk');

And, that's all there is to do.
