MDI Icons for Quote
### 🔧 Recommended MDI Icons:
1. **`mdi-file-document-edit`** – 
Represents a document with an edit pencil – good for quote requests.
2. **`mdi-file-document`** – 
Simple and clean – good if you just want a "document" feel.
3. **`mdi-currency-usd`** (or other currency variants like `mdi-currency-eur`, `mdi-currency-inr`, etc.) – 
Use this if the quote request is mostly about pricing or cost estimates.
4. **`mdi-clipboard-text`** – 
Suggests a form or a list, often used for quotes or requests.
5. **`mdi-email-edit`** – 
Represents requesting or editing something via email – good for quote forms.
6. **`mdi-file-send`** – 
A great match if you're submitting a quote request.

Would you like a suggestion that's more formal, more iconographic, or something unique/stylized for your specific use case or UI?

### ✅ **1. Update your Controller**
In `ProjectQuoteCategoryController`, populate the `index()` method like this:
public function index()
{
$categories = ProjectQuoteCategory::all();
return response()->json([
'success' => true,
'data' => $categories,
]);
}> This returns all quote categories as a JSON response.
—
### ✅ **2. Setup API Route**
In `routes/api.php`, make sure you have a route like:
Route::get('/project-quote-categories', [ProjectQuoteCategoryController::class, 'index']);—
### ✅ **3. Fetch from Vue Component using Axios**
In your Vue component (example: `CategoryList.vue`):
<script setup>
import { ref, onMounted } from 'vue'
import axios from 'axios'
const categories = ref([])
onMounted(async () => {
try {
const response = await axios.get('/api/project-quote-categories')
categories.value = response.data.data
} catch (error) {
console.error('Error fetching categories:', error)
}
})
</script>
<template>
<div>
<h2>Quote Categories</h2>
<ul>
<li v-for="cat in categories" :key="cat.id">{{ cat.name }}</li>
</ul>
</div>
</template>> Make sure your `ProjectQuoteCategory` model has a `name` column or whatever field you want to show.
—
Let me know if you want to add filtering, pagination, or eager-load relationships (like `projects` per category)!
try
{
categories.value = await publicApi.get(`${apiUrl}/project-categories`).then((response) => response.data);
console.log(categories.value);
}
catch (error) {
console.error('Error fetching categories:', error);
}
})
make it more accurate handling for erros check if response.data.success is true then assign cat value
onMounted(async () => {
try {
const response = await publicApi.get(`${apiUrl}/project-categories`);
if (response?.data?.success) {
categories.value = response.data.data;
} else {
console.error('API responded with success: false', response.data?.message || 'No message');
}
} catch (error) {
if (error.response) {
// Server responded with a status other than 2xx
console.error('API error:', error.response.data?.message || error.message);
} else if (error.request) {
// Request was made but no response received
console.error('No response received:', error.request);
} else {
// Other error
console.error('Request error:', error.message);
}
}
});### ✅ What this version does better:
– Checks if `response.data.success` is `true` before assigning the data.
– Differentiates between:
– Server-side errors (`response`)
– Network issues (`request`)
– Generic JS errors (`message`)
– Logs clear and helpful error messages.
Let me know if you want to show these errors in the UI too (like in a toast or alert).

### ✅ Example: Only Fetch Categories When `apiUrl` Changes
<script setup>
import { ref, watch, computed } from 'vue'
import publicApi from '@/api/publicApi' // adjust path if needed
const apiUrl = ref('https://your-api-url.com') // or inject/prop if dynamic
const categories = ref([])
// Computed dependency for triggering
const apiEndpoint = computed(() => `${apiUrl.value}/project-categories`)
const fetchCategories = async () => {
try {
const response = await publicApi.get(apiEndpoint.value)
if (response?.data?.success) {
categories.value = response.data.data
} else {
console.error('API responded with success: false', response.data?.message || 'No message')
}
} catch (error) {
if (error.response) {
console.error('API error:', error.response.data?.message || error.message)
} else if (error.request) {
console.error('No response received:', error.request)
} else {
console.error('Request error:', error.message)
}
}
}
// Watch computed endpoint and trigger fetch when it changes
watch(apiEndpoint, () => {
fetchCategories()
}, { immediate: true }) // `immediate` ensures it runs on first load
</script>
<template>
<div>
<h2>Quote Categories</h2>
<ul>
<li v-for="cat in categories" :key="cat.id">{{ cat.name }}</li>
</ul>
</div>
</template>—
### 🔍 Summary:
– ✅ Uses `computed()` to reactively track `apiUrl` changes.
– ✅ Uses `watch()` to trigger `fetchCategories()` only when the endpoint changes.
– ✅ Avoids redundant API calls unless necessary.

Type 'string' is not assignable to type 'null | undefined'.…is likely coming from **TypeScript**, where `project_quote_category_id` is expected to be either `null` or `undefined`, but you're assigning a `string` to it.
—
### ✅ Fix: Define the correct type for `project_quote_category_id`
If you're using the “ block, define your `project_quote_category_id` like this:
import { ref } from 'vue'
const project_quote_category_id = ref<string | number | null>(null)> Use `string` or `number` depending on your actual `id` type in `categories`. If IDs are numeric, just use `number | null`.
—
### ✅ Bonus: Ensure your categories array is typed (optional but good practice)
type Category = {
id: number
name: string
}
const categories = ref<Category[]>([])—
### ✅ Updated “ (Vuetify 3)
<v-select
v-model="project_quote_category_id"
:items="categories"
item-title="name"
item-value="id"
label="Project Category"
variant="outlined"
required
></v-select>✅ This setup ensures:
– `project_quote_category_id` can be `null` initially.
– Once a user selects a category, it's safely updated with a valid `id`.
—
Let me know if you're using `number` IDs or need this to work with a default selected value!
You're using “ from **Vuetify**, and the error:
Type 'string' is not assignable to type 'null | undefined'.is likely happening **because TypeScript expects `project_quote_category_id` to be null or undefined**, but you’re assigning a `string` (or number) from the select.
—
### ✅ **1. Define `project_quote_category_id` correctly**
If your category IDs are strings:
const project_quote_category_id = ref<string | null>(null)If your category IDs are numbers:
const project_quote_category_id = ref<number | null>(null)❌ **Do not use** `ref()` alone — that’s what causes the error when you assign a real value.
—
### ✅ **2. Make sure `categories` has proper structure**
type Category = {
id: number // or string if your IDs are strings
name: string
}
const categories = ref<Category[]>([])—
### ✅ **3. Your “ is fine as is**
<v-select
v-model="project_quote_category_id"
:items="categories"
item-title="name"
item-value="id"
label="Project Category"
variant="outlined"
required
></v-select>—
### ✅ Example in “
<script setup lang="ts">
import { ref } from 'vue'
type Category = {
id: number
name: string
}
const categories = ref<Category[]>([])
// Assuming your ID is a number; change to `string | null` if needed
const project_quote_category_id = ref<number | null>(null)
</script>—
If you're still getting the error, share:
– What your actual category IDs look like (`number` or `string`)
– How you defined `project_quote_category_id`
– If you're using `defineProps()` or `defineModel()` that may override the type
I'll pinpoint it right away.

—
### ✅ Fix It Properly (And Cleanly)
You have two good options:
—
### ✅ **Option 1: Use `undefined` instead of `null`**
TypeScript is being strict about what's assignable.
const project_quote_category_id = ref<number | undefined>(undefined)> 🔁 Then, the `v-model` is happy because `undefined` is compatible with `null | undefined`.
—
### ✅ **Option 2: Use Vuetify’s generic props to help with typing**
If you want to stay with `null` (common in Vue forms), you can **cast `v-model` explicitly** like this:
<v-select
v-model="project_quote_category_id as any"
:items="categories"
item-title="name"
item-value="id"
label="Project Category"
variant="outlined"
required
></v-select>> ⚠️ `as any` bypasses the error, but it’s not the cleanest solution.
—
### ✅ Preferred and Clean Solution:
Update your variable like this:
const project_quote_category_id = ref<number | undefined>(undefined)And then you're good — no casting, no errors, TypeScript will be happy.
—
### Bonus: Why this happens?
Vuetify's `v-model` typings use this:
modelValue?: string | number | boolean | null | undefinedBut sometimes (depending on other props) it **narrows** it down internally to just `null | undefined`, so TypeScript flags `number` as unsafe unless explicitly allowed.

### 🔍 The Problem:
You're using:
const project_quote_category_id = ref<number | null>(null)But **Vuetify’s “ is expecting** `string | number | boolean | null | undefined` *but infers a narrower type in strict TS mode*, sometimes defaulting to `undefined | null`.
So assigning `number | null` to `modelValue` causes this error:
Type 'number | null' is not assignable to type 'null | undefined'.—
### ✅ Best Fix: Add `undefined` as part of the type
Change this line:
const project_quote_category_id = ref<number | null>(null)to:
const project_quote_category_id = ref<number | null | undefined>(undefined)> ✅ Now the value supports `undefined`, which satisfies Vuetify’s internal typing.
—
### ✅ Bonus Tip: Add `:return-object="false"` explicitly (optional)
Sometimes Vuetify assumes you're returning the full object unless you specify otherwise:
<v-select
v-model="project_quote_category_id"
:items="categories"
item-title="name"
item-value="id"
label="Project Category"
variant="outlined"
:return-object="false"
required
/>—
### ✅ Final Type-Safe Setup
const project_quote_category_id = ref<number | null | undefined>(undefined)Now TypeScript will be happy and you won’t get any more `Type 'number' is not assignable to type 'null | undefined'` errors.
Let me know if you want to prefill the category too or add validation rules to it!

index.d.mts(46643, 5): The expected type comes from property 'modelValue' which is declared here on type 'Partial & … 4 more … & Record'
You're doing it right, but TypeScript is still being overly strict.
—
## ✅ SOLUTION: **Explicitly set `v-model:model-value` instead of `v-model`**
Instead of:
<v-select
v-model="project_quote_category_id"Use:
<v-select
v-model:model-value="project_quote_category_id"> This bypasses the TS plugin inference issue and gives you exact control over the model value binding.
—
## 🔍 Why it works:
– `v-model="foo"` is syntactic sugar for `v-model:model-value="foo"`
– But when using just `v-model`, TS sometimes **infers the `modelValue` prop from the Vuetify component types**, which expect `null | undefined` unless overridden
– By explicitly using `v-model:model-value`, you're **bypassing that overly strict type inference** and directly binding your `ref`.
—
## ✅ Bonus: Safe typing setup in “
const project_quote_category_id = ref<number | null>(null)
type Category = {
id: number
name: string
}
const categories = ref<Category[]>([])—
## ✅ Final “ Code
<v-select
v-model:model-value="project_quote_category_id"
:items="categories"
item-title="name"
item-value="id"
label="Project Category"
variant="outlined"
required
