Feature request: Custom actions in entities #544

Closed ciriousjoker closed 7 months ago

It would be very useful if documents could be marked as "draft" before being written to Firestore. Currently, a "isPublished" or "publicationStatus" field is necessary for every collection and the client needs to do the filtering.

Potential solution:

write to collectionName_drafts (simple config boolean to ignore validations at this stage)
When clicking "publish", the document is validated and moved over.

Hi @ciriousjoker I am reformulating this request as allowing developers to add custom actions to documents. that way you could set up your own logic

ciriousjoker commented 10 months ago

I think the validation part isn't included in that. Moving documents is easy via that, but draft documents should have optional validation.

I guess making each validation property conditional might work, but having a single toggle for the whole collection is much more convenient and creates less boilerplate code.

This is probably a separate issue though. The custom actions definitely solves 80% here

Hi @ciriousjoker It is not well documented yet, but you can add custom actions to entities now, and they show up both in the collection view and the form view :)
