Bug report

Why method addButtonFromView without meta?

[backpack-ai-bot]

Based on the knowledge sources provided, I can address your question about the addButtonFromView method in Backpack.

The addButtonFromView method in Backpack does not explicitly include a 'meta' parameter in its signature. However, this doesn't mean you can't use meta data with custom buttons.

According to the Backpack documentation on creating custom buttons, you can use meta data in your custom button views. The documentation states:

"In the blade file, you can use:

• $meta['something'] - any custom attribute the developer has passed, using the metas() method;"

This suggests that while the addButtonFromView method doesn't directly take a 'meta' parameter, you can still pass meta data to your custom buttons using the metas() method.

The correct syntax for adding a button from a view is:

CRUD::addButtonFromView($stack, $name, $view, $position);

If you need to add meta data to your button, you would likely do this separately using the metas() method, although the exact implementation isn't specified in the provided knowledge sources.

It's worth noting that the Backpack API has evolved over time, and some methods may have been updated or changed. If you're experiencing issues with this method or need more specific information about using meta data with buttons, you might want to consult the most recent Backpack documentation or reach out to the Backpack community for support.

Hello @zivarg

As Kapa says, if you check our docs you can use meta for that's method.

I will close this issue, but please feel free to re-open or create a new one if needed.

Cheers.
