What is the problem?

Hello,

I've noticed a limitation in Livewire PowerGrid v6.5.0 and later when using detail() with collections or stdClass objects as the datasource.

Steps to reproduce

Create a PowerGridComponent with datasource() returning a collection of arrays or stdClass objects.

Define a detail() view using PowerGrid::detail()->view('your-view').

Load the table and try to expand the detail row.

Expected behavior

The detail view should render correctly for each row in the collection.

Actual behavior

PowerGrid throws the following errors:

Call to undefined method stdClass::toArray()

This happens even if each row in the collection has a valid id.

Using arrays, stdClass, or Fluent objects does not work.

The only workaround is to use Eloquent models with a valid id and toArray() method.

Additional context

This limitation blocks using in-memory collections with detail().

Using collections works fine for the main table, but detail() requires a model instance.

This seems to have started in v6.5.0.

Code snippets

final class ExampleTable extends PowerGridComponent
{
    // Datasource: collection in memory
    public function datasource(): Collection
    {
        return collect([
            [
                'id' => 1,
                'name' => 'Alice',
                'email' => '[email protected]',
                'status' => 'active',
            ],
            [
                'id' => 2,
                'name' => 'Bob',
                'email' => '[email protected]',
                'status' => 'inactive',
            ],
        ]);
    }

    // Define columns
    public function columns(): array
    {
        return [
            Column::make('ID', 'id')->searchable()->sortable(),
            Column::make('Name', 'name')->searchable()->sortable(),
            Column::make('Email', 'email')->searchable(),
            Column::make('Status', 'status'),
        ];
    }

    // Setup detail view
    public function setUp(): array
    {
        return [
            PowerGrid::detail()->view('components.example.detail')
        ];
    }
}

// return this:
// Call to undefined method stdClass::toArray()

How do you expect it to work?

I expect that detail() should work with in-memory collections (arrays or stdClass objects) just like it works with Eloquent models. Specifically:

1. I should be able to return a collection of arrays or stdClass objects from datasource().

2. When I load the detail using detail(), PowerGrid throws the following error:
   Call to undefined method stdClass::toArray()

In other words, PowerGrid should not require Eloquent models for detail views—it should accept any object or array with an id field.

I have tried clearing the cache, running php artisan config:clear and php artisan view:clear, and restarting the server, but the issue persists.

Reproduced on my side, I'm working on it

I can't get it, I have put this in a completely clean installation with the following configuration:

composer.json

"require": {
        "php": "^8.2",
        "laravel/fortify": "^1.30",
        "laravel/framework": "^12.0",

        "livewire/volt": "^1.7.0",
        "power-components/livewire-powergrid": "^6.6"
    },
    "require-dev": {
        "fakerphp/faker": "^1.23",

        "nunomaduro/collision": "^8.6",
        "phpunit/phpunit": "^11.5.3"
    }

package.json

        "@tailwindcss/vite": "^4.1.11",

        "tailwindcss": "^4.0.7",
        "vite": "^7.0.4"
    },

This is the result of my about

and this is the example code that PowerGrid itself returns when creating a table based on a collection:

<?php

namespace App\Livewire;

use Illuminate\Support\Carbon;
use Illuminate\Support\Collection;
use PowerComponents\LivewirePowerGrid\Column;
use PowerComponents\LivewirePowerGrid\Facades\PowerGrid;
use PowerComponents\LivewirePowerGrid\PowerGridFields;
use PowerComponents\LivewirePowerGrid\PowerGridComponent;

final class UserTable extends PowerGridComponent
{
    public string $tableName = 'user-table-oyp8ak-table';

    public function datasource(): Collection
    {
        return collect([
            ['id' => 1, 'name' => 'Name 1', 'price' => 1.58, 'created_at' => now(),],
            ['id' => 2, 'name' => 'Name 2', 'price' => 1.68, 'created_at' => now(),],
            ['id' => 3, 'name' => 'Name 3', 'price' => 1.78, 'created_at' => now(),],
            ['id' => 4, 'name' => 'Name 4', 'price' => 1.88, 'created_at' => now(),],
            ['id' => 5, 'name' => 'Name 5', 'price' => 1.98, 'created_at' => now(),],
        ]);
    }

    public function setUp(): array
    {
        $this->showCheckBox();

        return [
            PowerGrid::header()
                ->showSearchInput(),
            PowerGrid::footer()
                ->showPerPage()
                ->showRecordCount(),
            Powergrid::detail()
                ->view('livewire.user-table-detail')
                ->showCollapseIcon()

        ];
    }

    public function fields(): PowerGridFields
    {
        return PowerGrid::fields()
            ->add('id')
            ->add('name')
            ->add('price')
            ->add('created_at_formatted', function ($entry) {
                return Carbon::parse($entry->created_at)->format('d/m/Y');
            });
    }

    public function columns(): array
    {
        return [
            Column::make('ID', 'id')
                ->searchable()
                ->sortable(),

            Column::make('Name', 'name')
                ->searchable()
                ->sortable(),

            Column::make('Price', 'price')
                ->sortable(),

            Column::make('Created', 'created_at_formatted'),

            Column::action('Action')
        ];
    }
}
