## Filament
- Filament is a Laravel UI framework built on Livewire, Alpine.js, and Tailwind CSS. UIs are defined in PHP via fluent, chainable components. Follow existing conventions in this app.
- Use the ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___search-docs___SINGLE_BACKTICK___ tool for official documentation on Artisan commands, code examples, testing, relationships, and idiomatic practices. If ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___search-docs___SINGLE_BACKTICK___ is unavailable, refer to https://filamentphp.com/docs.
### Artisan
- Always use Filament-specific Artisan commands to create files. Find available commands with the ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___list-artisan-commands___SINGLE_BACKTICK___ tool, or run ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___php artisan --help___SINGLE_BACKTICK___.
- Inspect required options before running, and always pass ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___--no-interaction___SINGLE_BACKTICK___.
### Patterns
Always use static ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___make()___SINGLE_BACKTICK___ methods to initialize components. Most configuration methods accept a ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___Closure___SINGLE_BACKTICK___ for dynamic values.
Use ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___Get $get___SINGLE_BACKTICK___ to read other form field values for conditional logic:
use Filament\Forms\Components\Select;
use Filament\Forms\Components\TextInput;
use Filament\Schemas\Components\Utilities\Get;
Select::make('type')
->options(CompanyType::class)
->required()
->live(),
TextInput::make('company_name')
->required()
->visible(fn (Get $get): bool => $get('type') === 'business'),
Use ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___Set $set___SINGLE_BACKTICK___ inside ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___->afterStateUpdated()___SINGLE_BACKTICK___ on a ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___->live()___SINGLE_BACKTICK___ field to mutate another field reactively. Prefer ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___->live(onBlur: true)___SINGLE_BACKTICK___ on text inputs to avoid per-keystroke updates:
use Filament\Schemas\Components\Utilities\Set;
use Illuminate\Support\Str;
TextInput::make('title')
->required()
->live(onBlur: true)
->afterStateUpdated(fn (Set $set, ?string $state) => $set(
'slug',
Str::slug($state ?? ''),
)),
TextInput::make('slug')
->required(),
Compose layout by nesting ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___Section___SINGLE_BACKTICK___ and ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___Grid___SINGLE_BACKTICK___. Children need explicit ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___->columnSpan()___SINGLE_BACKTICK___ or ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___->columnSpanFull()___SINGLE_BACKTICK___:
use Filament\Schemas\Components\Grid;
use Filament\Schemas\Components\Section;
Section::make('Details')
->schema([
Grid::make(2)->schema([
TextInput::make('first_name')
->columnSpan(1),
TextInput::make('last_name')
->columnSpan(1),
TextInput::make('bio')
->columnSpanFull(),
]),
]),
Use ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___Repeater___SINGLE_BACKTICK___ for inline ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___HasMany___SINGLE_BACKTICK___ management. ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___->relationship()___SINGLE_BACKTICK___ with no args binds to the relationship matching the field name:
use Filament\Forms\Components\Repeater;
Repeater::make('qualifications')
->relationship()
->schema([
TextInput::make('institution')
->required(),
TextInput::make('qualification')
->required(),
])
->columns(2),
Use ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___state()___SINGLE_BACKTICK___ with a ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___Closure___SINGLE_BACKTICK___ to compute derived column values:
use Filament\Tables\Columns\TextColumn;
TextColumn::make('full_name')
->state(fn (User $record): string => "{$record->first_name} {$record->last_name}"),
Use ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___SelectFilter___SINGLE_BACKTICK___ for enum or relationship filters, and ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___Filter___SINGLE_BACKTICK___ with a ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___->query()___SINGLE_BACKTICK___ closure for custom logic:
use Filament\Tables\Filters\Filter;
use Filament\Tables\Filters\SelectFilter;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Builder;
SelectFilter::make('status')
->options(UserStatus::class),
SelectFilter::make('author')
->relationship('author', 'name'),
Filter::make('verified')
->query(fn (Builder $query) => $query->whereNotNull('email_verified_at')),
Actions are buttons that encapsulate optional modal forms and behavior:
use Filament\Actions\Action;
Action::make('updateEmail')
->schema([
TextInput::make('email')
->email()
->required(),
])
->action(fn (array $data, User $record) => $record->update($data)),
### Testing
Testing setup (requires ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___pestphp/pest-plugin-livewire___SINGLE_BACKTICK___ in ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___composer.json___SINGLE_BACKTICK___):
- Always call ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___$this->actingAs(User::factory()->create())___SINGLE_BACKTICK___ before testing panel functionality.
- For edit pages, pass ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___['record' => $user->id]___SINGLE_BACKTICK___, use ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___->call('save')___SINGLE_BACKTICK___ (not ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___->call('create')___SINGLE_BACKTICK___), and do not assert ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___->assertRedirect()___SINGLE_BACKTICK___ (edit pages do not redirect after save).
use function Pest\Livewire\livewire;
livewire(ListUsers::class)
->assertCanSeeTableRecords($users)
->searchTable($users->first()->name)
->assertCanSeeTableRecords($users->take(1))
->assertCanNotSeeTableRecords($users->skip(1));
use function Pest\Laravel\assertDatabaseHas;
livewire(CreateUser::class)
->fillForm([
'name' => 'Test',
'email' => 'test@example.com',
])
->call('create')
->assertNotified()
->assertHasNoFormErrors()
->assertRedirect();
assertDatabaseHas(User::class, [
'name' => 'Test',
'email' => 'test@example.com',
]);
livewire(EditUser::class, ['record' => $user->id])
->fillForm(['name' => 'Updated'])
->call('save')
->assertNotified()
->assertHasNoFormErrors();
assertDatabaseHas(User::class, [
'id' => $user->id,
'name' => 'Updated',
]);
livewire(CreateUser::class)
->fillForm([
'name' => null,
'email' => 'invalid-email',
])
->call('create')
->assertHasFormErrors([
'name' => 'required',
'email' => 'email',
])
->assertNotNotified();
Use ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___->callAction(DeleteAction::class)___SINGLE_BACKTICK___ for page actions, or ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___->callAction(TestAction::make('name')->table($record))___SINGLE_BACKTICK___ for table actions:
use Filament\Actions\Testing\TestAction;
livewire(ListUsers::class)
->callAction(TestAction::make('promote')->table($user), [
'role' => 'admin',
])
->assertNotified();
### Correct Namespaces
- Form fields (___SINGLE_BACKTICK___TextInput___SINGLE_BACKTICK___, ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___Select___SINGLE_BACKTICK___, ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___Repeater___SINGLE_BACKTICK___, etc.): ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___Filament\Forms\Components\___SINGLE_BACKTICK___
- Infolist entries (___SINGLE_BACKTICK___TextEntry___SINGLE_BACKTICK___, ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___IconEntry___SINGLE_BACKTICK___, etc.): ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___Filament\Infolists\Components\___SINGLE_BACKTICK___
- Layout components (___SINGLE_BACKTICK___Grid___SINGLE_BACKTICK___, ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___Section___SINGLE_BACKTICK___, ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___Fieldset___SINGLE_BACKTICK___, ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___Tabs___SINGLE_BACKTICK___, ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___Wizard___SINGLE_BACKTICK___, etc.): ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___Filament\Schemas\Components\___SINGLE_BACKTICK___
- Schema utilities (___SINGLE_BACKTICK___Get___SINGLE_BACKTICK___, ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___Set___SINGLE_BACKTICK___, etc.): ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___Filament\Schemas\Components\Utilities\___SINGLE_BACKTICK___
- Table columns (___SINGLE_BACKTICK___TextColumn___SINGLE_BACKTICK___, ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___IconColumn___SINGLE_BACKTICK___, etc.): ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___Filament\Tables\Columns\___SINGLE_BACKTICK___
- Table filters (___SINGLE_BACKTICK___SelectFilter___SINGLE_BACKTICK___, ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___Filter___SINGLE_BACKTICK___, etc.): ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___Filament\Tables\Filters\___SINGLE_BACKTICK___
- Actions (___SINGLE_BACKTICK___DeleteAction___SINGLE_BACKTICK___, ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___CreateAction___SINGLE_BACKTICK___, etc.): ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___Filament\Actions\___SINGLE_BACKTICK___. Never use ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___Filament\Tables\Actions\___SINGLE_BACKTICK___, ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___Filament\Forms\Actions\___SINGLE_BACKTICK___, or any other sub-namespace for actions.
- Icons: ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___Filament\Support\Icons\Heroicon___SINGLE_BACKTICK___ enum (e.g., ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___Heroicon::PencilSquare___SINGLE_BACKTICK___)
### Common Mistakes
- **Never assume public file visibility.** File visibility is ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___private___SINGLE_BACKTICK___ by default. Always use ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___->visibility('public')___SINGLE_BACKTICK___ when public access is needed.
- **Never assume full-width layout.** ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___Grid___SINGLE_BACKTICK___, ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___Section___SINGLE_BACKTICK___, ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___Fieldset___SINGLE_BACKTICK___, and ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___Repeater___SINGLE_BACKTICK___ do not span all columns by default.
- **Use ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___Select::make('author_id')->relationship('author', 'name')___SINGLE_BACKTICK___ for BelongsTo fields.** ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___BelongsToSelect___SINGLE_BACKTICK___ does not exist in v4.
- **___SINGLE_BACKTICK___Repeater___SINGLE_BACKTICK___ uses ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___->schema()___SINGLE_BACKTICK___, not ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___->fields()___SINGLE_BACKTICK___.**
- **Never add ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___->dehydrated(false)___SINGLE_BACKTICK___ to fields that need to be saved.** It strips the value from form state before ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___->action()___SINGLE_BACKTICK___ or the save handler runs. Only use it for helper/UI-only fields.
- **Use correct property types when overriding ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___Page___SINGLE_BACKTICK___, ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___Resource___SINGLE_BACKTICK___, and ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___Widget___SINGLE_BACKTICK___ properties.** These properties have union types or changed modifiers that must be preserved:
- ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___$navigationIcon___SINGLE_BACKTICK___: ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___protected static string | BackedEnum | null___SINGLE_BACKTICK___ (not ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___?string___SINGLE_BACKTICK___)
- ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___$navigationGroup___SINGLE_BACKTICK___: ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___protected static string | UnitEnum | null___SINGLE_BACKTICK___ (not ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___?string___SINGLE_BACKTICK___)
- ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___$view___SINGLE_BACKTICK___: ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___protected string___SINGLE_BACKTICK___ (not ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___protected static string___SINGLE_BACKTICK___) on ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___Page___SINGLE_BACKTICK___ and ___SINGLE_BACKTICK___Widget___SINGLE_BACKTICK___ classes
