Filament 5 in Depth

Filament's powers have increased exponentially. Now at version 5, it's more powerful and capable than ever. In this series, we'll build a practical Roadmap app from scratch, using Filament for the admin panel and Livewire for the public-facing side.

Along the way, we'll cover panel configuration, enum-driven UI, strict authorization with policies, and newer form inputs like ToggleButtons, Sliders, and the TipTap-powered RichEditor. By the end, you'll have a full-featured app and a solid handle on everything new in Filament.

  1. Setup and Configuration (5)

    1. Filament Panel Installation and Resources

      Learn how to install Filament 5 and start using the Filament panel builder for the backend of your application.

    2. Enums in Filament

      Filament has a lot of special treatment for Enums, and we want to take advantage of that in our application. Learn to use Enums and make them look pretty.

    3. Panel Configuration

      Filament has a lot of features out of the box, and you get to decide which ones you want to use. Let's review the various options and even learn how to extend the provided classes for custom functionality.

    5. Policies and Strict Authorization

      It is important to check if a user has the ability to perform an action before showing them the button in the UI. Filament handles this for you, and using the ->strictAuthorization() config option will ensure all standard Filament actions are authorized.
  2. Forms and Layout (5)

    1. ToggleGroup, Slider, and RichEditor

      There are three new form inputs from Filament 4 that you may want to use in your app. We will review ToggleGroup which is a better radio input, a slider and the very powerful RichEditor powered by TipTap.

    2. visibleJs

      Conditionally showing and hiding form fields usually requires a Livewire round trip, but visibleJs and hiddenJs let you handle it entirely on the front end for a much snappier experience. Learn the rules for writing expressions that evaluate correctly, and how to handle backend validation for required fields that the user may not even see.

    3. afterStateUpdatedJs

      Learn how to make form fields interactive. It starts with a PHP/Livewire approach using afterStateUpdated, then shifts to the front-end with afterStateUpdatedJs to avoid network requests for simple calculations

    4. Theme and Layout

      Filament has many options to update the visual layout of your forms. Let's review some options including breaking our sections into tabs.

    5. Table Repeater

      The Repeater class with the ->table() modifier is one of the most useful form inputs available, and it can be used to handle both arrays of data and relationships. Once the data is created, it can be rendered beautifully with the RepeatableEntry.
  3. Views and Public UI (3)

    1. Infolist

      Filament infolists share the same schema approach as forms, so if you already know how to build a form you are most of the way there. We will break the view page into clean sections, render rich text content safely using prose, and style everything with enum badges for a polished result.

    2. Comments and Votes

      Let's go back to basics and create models for Comment and Vote along with their relationships. We need these to create the public facing site. We will also create Filament relation managers to display the data.
  4. Advanced Workflow (3)

    1. Tables with Bulk Action Authorization

      Bulk actions can be risky, because you cannot be sure if the user is allowed to make certain changes until the records are being processed. Learn to authorize the record for each action before processing anything.

    2. Custom Data Table and API Integration

      Filament now provides the ability to create tables without relying on an Eloquent model. Let's use that to pull in data from an API to create Feature records.

    3. Filament Website and Plugins

      The Filament website is brand new for Filament 5 and has great information to help you continue your journey with building web apps with Filament.

Blaze Deep-Dive thumbnail

Blaze Deep-Dive

With Caleb Porzio

Blade components are slow. Really slow. At scale, they quietly become the biggest bottleneck in your Laravel application. We discovered this while trying to make Flux as fast as possible, and the result is Blaze: a package that fundamentally rethinks how Blade components are compiled and rendered. With multiple levels of optimization, Blaze can shave hundreds of milliseconds off a page load, making Blade rendering up to 25x faster in some cases.In this series, we'll install it, benchmark it, build a toy version from scratch so you truly understand how it works, and then master every directive and edge case so you can squeeze maximum performance out of your own apps.

Customizing Filament For User-Facing Apps

With Shruti Balasa

In this series, we'll build a real, user-facing app called Booknest using Laravel and Filament. We'll begin with a fresh install and begin pushing Filament beyond the usual "internal admin only" setup that you typically see. It's capable of so much more.

Build Native Apps With PHP thumbnail

Build Native Apps With PHP

With Simon Hamp

Welcome to my CreatorSeries! I’m Simon, and in this series we’re going to learn about NativePHP and use it to build true native applications for desktop and mobile. We're not talking about web apps accessed through the browser. Your users will be able to install directly on their devices. This is a big leap forward for the PHP ecosystem, and while it’s a real paradigm shift from the way we normally build with PHP and Laravel, we’ve worked hard to keep it familiar and approachable. So grab a warm drink, get comfortable, and let's start building!

Livewire 4 is a major release, and it's packed with features you're going to love. View-based components keep your PHP and Blade together in one file.

And a powerful JavaScript interceptor system gives you fine-grained control over every request.Whether you're upgrading an existing app or starting fresh, this series will walk you through everything new, from the fundamentals to the advanced stuff.
