Support for displaying Item Actions on show pages

[armanm]

I saw this entry PR #591 from six month ago which pretty much the feature I'm after.

I would like to show specific item actions on the show page instead of the index. Is there a way to do this at the moment?

Hey,

there is no easy way to do this at the moment.

You could use the Backpex slots API to add an item action manually to the show page, for example by overwriting the page_title slot.

@impl Backpex.LiveResource
def render_resource_slot(assigns, :show, :page_title) do
  ~H"""
  <Backpex.HTML.Layout.main_title class="flex items-center justify-between">
    {@singular_name}
    <.link
      :if={@live_action == :show and @live_resource.can?(assigns, :edit, @item)}
      class="tooltip"
      data-tip={Backpex.translate("Edit")}
      aria-label={Backpex.translate("Edit")}
      patch={Backpex.Router.get_path(@socket, @live_resource, @params, :edit, @item)}
    >
      <Backpex.HTML.CoreComponents.icon
        name="hero-pencil-square"
        class="h-6 w-6 cursor-pointer transition duration-75 hover:scale-110 hover:text-blue-600"
      />
    </.link>
    <%!-- Add another action here --%>
  </Backpex.HTML.Layout.main_title>
  """
end

Of course, it would be better to display item actions on show views automatically, as it was documented in the linked PR.

For example:

@impl Backpex.LiveResource
def item_actions(_default_actions) do
  [
    duplicate: %{
      module: DemoWeb.ItemActions.DuplicateTag,
      only: [:row]
    }
  ]
end
