Require text input as confirm for deletion in DeleteAction.

[stefanrubelov]

Inspired by the GitHub feature when deleting a repository where it asks you to input the name of the repository to confirm, and by the fact that we as humans sometimes don't think too much before confirming something, I made this little macro in the DeleteAction for the user to confirm by inputing a text for deleting a record.

          /**
         * Adds a GitHub-style input confirmation step to any DeleteAction.
         *
         * Usage: DeleteAction::make()->requiresInputConfirmation(fn (Model $record) => $record->name)
         *        DeleteAction::make()->requiresInputConfirmation('permanently-delete')
         */
        DeleteAction::macro('requiresInputConfirmation', function (string|Closure $input = 'permanently-delete'): static {
            /** @var DeleteAction $this */
            $this->schema(function () use ($input): array {
                $expectedInput = $this->evaluate($input);

                return [
                    TextInput::make('name_confirmation')
                        ->label(new HtmlString(__('Type ":name" to confirm', ['name' => '<span style="user-select: all;">' . e($expectedInput) . '</span>'])))
                        ->placeholder($expectedInput)
                        ->required()
                        ->rule(fn(): Closure => function (string $attribute, mixed $value, Closure $fail) use ($expectedInput): void {
                            if ($value !== $expectedInput) {
                                $fail(__('Please type ":name" exactly to confirm deletion.', ['name' => $expectedInput]));
                            }
                        }),
                ];
            });

            return $this;
        });

@danharrin Do you think this is something that Filament might use?

Hi, thanks for the idea but I think I am going to pass, since this is already relatively easy to implement without a dedicated feature.
