Show Current Date/Time on Filament Dashboard

To display the current date and time on a Filament dashboard, you can create a custom widget. Filament allows you to create custom widgets by extending the Widget class. Here's a simple example of how you can create a widget to show the current date and time:

1. Create a new widget class. You can place this file in the app/Filament/Widgets directory or any other directory where you organize your Filament widgets.

namespace App\Filament\Widgets;

use Filament\Widgets\Widget;
use Carbon\Carbon;

class CurrentDateTimeWidget extends Widget
{
    protected static string $view = 'filament.widgets.current-date-time-widget';

    public function getCurrentDateTime()
    {
        return Carbon::now()->toDayDateTimeString();
    }
}

1. Create a Blade view for the widget. Create a new Blade file named current-date-time-widget.blade.php in the resources/views/filament/widgets directory.

<div class="card">
    <div class="card-body">
        <h5 class="card-title">Current Date & Time</h5>
        <p class="card-text">{{ $this->getCurrentDateTime() }}</p>
    </div>
</div>

1. Register the widget in your Filament dashboard. Open the FilamentServiceProvider (or create one if it doesn't exist) and register the widget in the boot method.

namespace App\Providers;

use App\Filament\Widgets\CurrentDateTimeWidget;
use Filament\FilamentServiceProvider as BaseFilamentServiceProvider;
use Filament\Widgets\Widget;

class FilamentServiceProvider extends BaseFilamentServiceProvider
{
    protected function getDashboardWidgets(): array
    {
        return [
            // ... other widgets
            Widget::make(CurrentDateTimeWidget::class),
        ];
    }
}

1. Make sure to import the Carbon facade at the top of your widget class if you haven't already:

use Carbon\Carbon;

Now, when you visit your Filament dashboard, you should see the widget displaying the current date and time. Remember that the time shown will be based on the server's timezone settings unless you specify a different timezone using Carbon's methods.
