Flexible Content fields does not give an instance of Main Resource class

[felixmensah321]

I have a Product resource. Within the resource I have this: Flexible::make('test', 'test') ->addLayout('', 'wysiwyg', [ Select::make('Type of Guide', 'type')->options($this->getDropDownData('GuideType', 'name'))->rules('required') ->fillUsing(function ($request, $model, $attribute, $requestAttribute) { dd($model); }) $model is not giving me the instance of the Product resource but an instance of Whitecube\NovaFlexibleContent\Layouts\Layout

Is there a way to get around this where I get the instance of the Product Resource?

Same question, but in custom layout.

@felixmensah321 @riptin It shouldn't be a resource, but the model the resource uses.

My commit is not going to work, so ignore that. It's not the model that's suppose to be passed when a field resides in a flex container. The problem here is that the Layout object needs to be passed because the field's attribute does not exist in the model, but in the given layout. Here the layout instance is always passed with $this.

It would be a great idea if the Layout instance had two methods, getResource() and getModel(), which again uses getResource() to retrieve the model.

// Layout::fill
public function fill(ScopedRequest $request, $model)
{
    return $this->fields->map(function ($field) use ($request, $model) {
        return $field->fill($request, $this); // $this == Layout instance.
    })
        ->filter(function ($callback) {
            return is_callable($callback);
        })
        ->values()
        ->all();
}

Through the request, we can always retrieve the resource or underlying model (please distinct the two)

• Receiving the underlying model

  $request->findModel()

• Receiving the resource

  $request->findResource();

So in your example

Flexible::make('test', 'test')
  ->addLayout('', 'wysiwyg', [
  Select::make('Type of Guide', 'type')
    ->options($this->getDropDownData('GuideType', 'name'))->rules('required')
    ->fillUsing(function ($request, $model, $attribute, $requestAttribute) {
       dd($request->findResource()); // returns the current resource
       dd($request->findModel()); // returns the model of the current resource
     })
