Passing down model to steps

[gizburdt]

Hi,

I'm building a device configurator.

The url is something like this /devices/{device}/configure. The route is registered like this:

Route::get('/devices/{device}/configure', ConfigureDevice::class)->name('configure-device');

The Wizard component looks like:

class ConfigureDevice extends WizardComponent
{
    public Device $device;

    public function mount(Device $device): void
    {
        $this->device = $device;
    }
}

The model binding in the wizard component is working like expected. But how can I pass this Device object to all steps? A mount method in the step component with model binding doesn't work. It just returns an empty Device model (attributes not set).

After posting this discussion and explaining the issue, I had an idea using the initialState method:

public function initialState(): array
    {
        $devices = $this->stepNames()->mapWithKeys(function ($step) {
            return [$step => ['device' => $this->device]];
        })->toArray();

        return array_merge($devices, [
            // Steps
        ]);
    }
