DataForm should show something else if entry passed not found.

[karandatwani92]

In DataForm Example
https://github.com/Laravel-Backpack/demo/blob/990765ca60409f40f91e395927149e8353d812ff/resources/views/admin/new-in-v7.blade.php#L16

What if pass an entry which does not exist in the DB.
'entry' => \App\Models\PetShop\Skill::find(10000001),

🚨Currently, it gives me an empty edit form, and behind the seen working as a create Form.

Thanks @karandatwani92

I've spent sometime around this issue, I don't think there is anything for us to do here.

You as a developer have multiple ways to deal with non-found entries, and probably the most correct is to NOT show the form at all, if the entry you would like to edit is not present.

So if you are concerned or not sure, if the entry you are setting up for edit is always available, you can do a findOrFail($id) or wrap the form component in a if statement, something like:

if ($entry = \App\Model::find($id)) {
// form component definition
'entry' => $entry,
}

If you disagree or have a better alternative please share it with us 👍
