Bulk Actions ​

Introduction ​

Bulk Actions can be used to perform actions on multiple rows in a table. Bulk Actions can be configured to require a confirmation dialog before performing the action. Just like Row Actions, Bulk Actions are defined in the actions() method of the Table component.

Defining Bulk Actions ​

Bulk Actions are defined exactly like Row Actions, but you can use the asBulkAction and onlyAsBulkAction methods to specify whether the action should be available as a bulk action only or as a row action as well.

php
use App\Models\User;
use InertiaUI\Table\Action;

class Users extends Table
{
    public function actions(): array
    {
        return [
            Action::make('Activate', handle: fn (User $user) => $user->activate())->asBulkAction(),
        ];
    }
}

Styling, authorization, confirmation dialogs, and redirecting after the action are all handled the same way as Row Actions.

Before and After callbacks ​

You can use the before and after arguments to define callbacks that should be executed before and after the action is performed. Both callbacks receive an array of Model IDs as the first argument.

php
Action::make(
    label: 'Activate',
    before: fn (array $ids) => Log::info('Activating users...', ['ids' => $ids]),
    handle: fn (User $user) => $user->activate(),
    after: fn () => session()->flash('success', 'Users activated successfully')
)->asBulkAction();

Chunk Size ​

The default chunk size for bulk actions is 1000. You can change this by passing the chunkSize argument to the make() method:

php
Action::make(
    label: 'Activate',
    handle: fn (User $user) => $user->activate(),
    chunkSize: 500
)->asBulkAction();

Chunk Method ​

By default, the database will be queried using the chunkById method. If you want to use the chunk method instead, you can pass the eachById argument to the make() method with a value of false:

php
Action::make(
    label: 'Activate',
    handle: fn (User $user) => $user->activate(),
    eachById: false
)->asBulkAction();

You can read more about the differences between chunkById and chunk in the Laravel documentation. It is generally recommended to use chunkById when you're updating or deleting records.
