I might be wrong, but I believe map() expects an array. You're giving it a function that returns an array. It's not exactly the same thing.
This works for options() because options is expecting a function.
I hope this helps!

Laravel Nova - Field Badge Array problem
Newbie here :)
I cant figure out why a function works in one Field(Select) but not in another(Badge), same function to return an array...
This works:
Select::make('inspection_carried_out')
->options(function () {
return array_filter(\App\Models\Status::pluck('name', 'id')->toArray());
}),
But this doesn't (why?):
Badge::make('external_company_inspection_agreement')
->map(function () {
return array_filter(\App\Models\Status::pluck('badge', 'id')->toArray());
})
Error: Laravel\Nova\Fields\badge::map(): Argument #1 {$map} must of type array, Closure given.
Level 1
The documentation shows the exact same arrays in both badge and select: https://nova.laravel.com/docs/v5/resources/fields#select-field https://nova.laravel.com/docs/v5/resources/fields#badge-field
Are you sure Badge differs from Select in what it expects?

@lantech I'm talking about using ->options() vs ->map() after the ::make() function
Level 1
Yes, I get that but in the documentation the ->map and the ->options both expects an array (identical if I see correct)
Thats why I can't understand why a function works in ->options but not in ->map
Level 9
@lantech It's ok, so, let's start with formatting :)
To format 1 line of code, use what is called a backtick (`) before and after the code, like so code(). For longer code, you have to use three of them at the start, and three of them at the end (```)
// this is how you get multiple lines of code
// very helpful
This should offer more information: https://www.markdownguide.org/basic-syntax/#code
As for where to put $badgeMap, just above where you're using it is fine. In other words, if you replace your Badge::. code with
$badgeMap = \App\Models\Status::pluck('badge', 'id')->toArray();
$badgeMap[null] = 'info'; // Add default for null
Badge::make('external_company_inspection_agreement')
->map($badgeMap);
you should be fine.

The error indicates that you're passing a closure (the anonymous function you've got in there), but the method expects a plain associative array instead (the array directly passed, rather than passing the function itself).
Level 1
Thank you for your answers, anybody got a solution to how I could achieve desired goal?
Level 1
If I do this instead:
Badge::make('external_company_inspection_agreement')
->map(\App\Models\Status::all()->pluck('name', 'id')->toArray())
I don't get the same error...Instead I get this: Error trying to find type [] inside of the field's type mapping.
I think it gets the correct array but it's missing a badge for the NULL value I could fix this in a manual array by adding:
null => 'info',
But how can I add this to the dynamic array?
->map(\App\Models\Status::all()->pluck('name', 'id')->toArray())
I tried this:
->map(function () {
$array_badge = \App\Models\Status::pluck('badge','id')->toArray();
$array_badge[null] = "info";
return $array_badge;
}),
But then I get back to the original problem (functio when expecting array...?) Error: Laravel\Nova\Fields\badge::map(): Argument #1 {$map} must of type array, Closure given.

It's working now! Thank you sooo much! 🙏

I think that you're on the right track. The only thing that I can think of that is not working is that you have to define the array before passing it to map(). Try:
$badgeMap = \App\Models\Status::pluck('badge', 'id')->toArray();
$badgeMap[null] = 'info'; // Add default for null
Badge::make('external_company_inspection_agreement')
->map($badgeMap);
This should work

I'm a total newbie... where can I put the:
$badgeMap = \App\Models\Status::pluck('badge', 'id')->toArray();
$badgeMap[null] = 'info'; // Add default for null
Doesn't work inside the the
Badge::make
nor outside the
public function fields(NovaRequest $request): array

It's kind of difficult to figure out what the issue is without knowing what the db is like, but you can add a temporary Nova field to debug:
Text::make('Debug', function () {
return $this->external_company_inspection_agreement;
}),

@lantech — usually means null.
Let's try from the basics. Are you getting the fields when you use ::all() instead of ::pluck()?
Don't worry about the formatting for now. Focus on getting the data.
die(var_dump($result)) to see what you're getting
EDIT: I see that it's working. Good job :)
I'll live this reply here just in case someone might need this nudge some time in the future
