# Filament - Panels/Resources/Getting Started Source: https://filamentphp.com/docs/3.x/panels/resources/getting-started #Overview ---------   Introduction to Filament Watch the Rapid Laravel Development with Filament series on Laracasts - it will teach you how to get started with the resources. Play Video  Kevin McKee Instructor Resources are static classes that are used to build CRUD interfaces for your Eloquent models. They describe how administrators should be able to interact with data from your app - using tables and forms. #Creating a resource -------------------- To create a resource for the `App\Models\Customer` model: ```php php artisan make:filament-resource Customer ``` This will create several files in the `app/Filament/Resources` directory: ```php . +-- CustomerResource.php +-- CustomerResource | +-- Pages | | +-- CreateCustomer.php | | +-- EditCustomer.php | | +-- ListCustomers.php ``` Your new resource class lives in `CustomerResource.php`. The classes in the `Pages` directory are used to customize the pages in the app that interact with your resource. They’re all full-page Livewire components that you can customize in any way you wish. > Have you created a resource, but it’s not appearing in the navigation menu? If you have a model policy, make sure you return `true` from the `viewAny()` method. ### #Simple (modal) resources Sometimes, your models are simple enough that you only want to manage records on one page, using modals to create, edit and delete records. To generate a simple resource with modals: ```php php artisan make:filament-resource Customer --simple ``` Your resource will have a “Manage” page, which is a List page with modals added. Additionally, your simple resource will have no `getRelations()` method, as relation managers are only displayed on the Edit and View pages, which are not present in simple resources. Everything else is the same. ### #Automatically generating forms and tables If you’d like to save time, Filament can automatically generate the form and table for you, based on your model’s database columns, using `--generate`: ```php php artisan make:filament-resource Customer --generate ``` ### #Handling soft deletes By default, you will not be able to interact with deleted records in the app. If you’d like to add functionality to restore, force delete and filter trashed records in your resource, use the `--soft-deletes` flag when generating the resource: ```php php artisan make:filament-resource Customer --soft-deletes ``` You can find out more about soft deleting here. ### #Generating a View page By default, only List, Create and Edit pages are generated for your resource. If you’d also like a View page, use the `--view` flag: ```php php artisan make:filament-resource Customer --view ``` ### #Specifiying a custom model namespace By default, Filament will assume that your model exists in the `App\Models` directory. You can pass a different namespace for the model using the `--model-namespace` flag: ```php php artisan make:filament-resource Customer --model-namespace=Custom\\Path\\Models ``` In this example, the model should exist at `Custom\Path\Models\Customer`. Please note the double backslashes `\\` in the command that are required. Now when generating the resource, Filament will be able to locate the model and read the database schema. ### #Generating the model, migration and factory at the same name If you’d like to save time when scaffolding your resources, Filament can also generate the model, migration and factory for the new resource at the same time using the `--model`, `--migration` and `--factory` flags in any combination: ```php php artisan make:filament-resource Customer --model --migration --factory ``` #Record titles -------------- A `$recordTitleAttribute` may be set for your resource, which is the name of the column on your model that can be used to identify it from others. For example, this could be a blog post’s `title` or a customer’s `name`: ```php protected static ?string $recordTitleAttribute = 'name'; ``` This is required for features like global search to work. > You may specify the name of an Eloquent accessor if just one column is inadequate at identifying a record. #Resource forms ---------------   Basic Form Inputs Watch the Rapid Laravel Development with Filament series on Laracasts - it will teach you the basics of adding a form to your resource. Play Video  Kevin McKee Instructor Resource classes contain a `form()` method that is used to build the forms on the Create and Edit pages: ```php use Filament\Forms; use Filament\Forms\Form; public static function form(Form $form): Form { return $form ->schema([ Forms\Components\TextInput::make('name')->required(), Forms\Components\TextInput::make('email')->email()->required(), // ... ]); } ``` The `schema()` method is used to define the structure of your form. It is an array of fields and layout components, in the order they should appear in your form. Check out the Forms docs for a guide on how to build forms with Filament. ### #Hiding components based on the current operation The `hiddenOn()` method of form components allows you to dynamically hide fields based on the current page or action. In this example, we hide the `password` field on the `edit` page: ```php use Livewire\Component; Forms\Components\TextInput::make('password') ->password() ->required() ->hiddenOn('edit'), ``` Alternatively, we have a `visibleOn()` shortcut method for only showing a field on one page or action: ```php use Livewire\Component; Forms\Components\TextInput::make('password') ->password() ->required() ->visibleOn('create'), ``` #Resource tables ----------------   Table Columns Watch the Rapid Laravel Development with Filament series on Laracasts - it will teach you the basics of adding a table to your resource. Play Video  Kevin McKee Instructor Resource classes contain a `table()` method that is used to build the table on the List page: ```php use Filament\Tables; use Filament\Tables\Table; use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Builder; public static function table(Table $table): Table { return $table ->columns([ Tables\Columns\TextColumn::make('name'), Tables\Columns\TextColumn::make('email'), // ... ]) ->filters([ Tables\Filters\Filter::make('verified') ->query(fn (Builder $query): Builder => $query->whereNotNull('email_verified_at')), // ... ]) ->actions([ Tables\Actions\EditAction::make(), ]) ->bulkActions([ Tables\Actions\BulkActionGroup::make([ Tables\Actions\DeleteBulkAction::make(), ]), ]); } ``` Check out the tables docs to find out how to add table columns, filters, actions and more. #Authorization -------------- For authorization, Filament will observe any model policies that are registered in your app. The following methods are used: * `viewAny()` is used to completely hide resources from the navigation menu, and prevents the user from accessing any pages. * `create()` is used to control creating new records. * `update()` is used to control editing a record. * `view()` is used to control viewing a record. * `delete()` is used to prevent a single record from being deleted. `deleteAny()` is used to prevent records from being bulk deleted. Filament uses the `deleteAny()` method because iterating through multiple records and checking the `delete()` policy is not very performant. * `forceDelete()` is used to prevent a single soft-deleted record from being force-deleted. `forceDeleteAny()` is used to prevent records from being bulk force-deleted. Filament uses the `forceDeleteAny()` method because iterating through multiple records and checking the `forceDelete()` policy is not very performant. * `restore()` is used to prevent a single soft-deleted record from being restored. `restoreAny()` is used to prevent records from being bulk restored. Filament uses the `restoreAny()` method because iterating through multiple records and checking the `restore()` policy is not very performant. * `reorder()` is used to control reordering a record. ### #Skipping authorization If you’d like to skip authorization for a resource, you may set the `$shouldSkipAuthorization` property to `true`: ```php protected static bool $shouldSkipAuthorization = true; ``` #Customizing the model label ---------------------------- Each resource has a “model label” which is automatically generated from the model name. For example, an `App\Models\Customer` model will have a `customer` label. The label is used in several parts of the UI, and you may customize it using the `$modelLabel` property: ```php protected static ?string $modelLabel = 'cliente'; ``` Alternatively, you may use the `getModelLabel()` to define a dynamic label: ```php public static function getModelLabel(): string { return __('filament/resources/customer.label'); } ``` ### #Customizing the plural model label Resources also have a “plural model label” which is automatically generated from the model label. For example, a `customer` label will be pluralized into `customers`. You may customize the plural version of the label using the `$pluralModelLabel` property: ```php protected static ?string $pluralModelLabel = 'clientes'; ``` Alternatively, you may set a dynamic plural label in the `getPluralModelLabel()` method: ```php public static function getPluralModelLabel(): string { return __('filament/resources/customer.plural_label'); } ``` ### #Automatic model label capitalization By default, Filament will automatically capitalize each word in the model label, for some parts of the UI. For example, in page titles, the navigation menu, and the breadcrumbs. If you want to disable this behavior for a resource, you can set `$hasTitleCaseModelLabel` in the resource: ```php protected static bool $hasTitleCaseModelLabel = false; ``` #Resource navigation items -------------------------- Filament will automatically generate a navigation menu item for your resource using the plural label. If you’d like to customize the navigation item label, you may use the `$navigationLabel` property: ```php protected static ?string $navigationLabel = 'Mis Clientes'; ``` Alternatively, you may set a dynamic navigation label in the `getNavigationLabel()` method: ```php public static function getNavigationLabel(): string { return __('filament/resources/customer.navigation_label'); } ``` ### #Setting a resource navigation icon The `$navigationIcon` property supports the name of any Blade component. By default, Heroicons are installed. However, you may create your own custom icon components or install an alternative library if you wish. ```php protected static ?string $navigationIcon = 'heroicon-o-user-group'; ``` Alternatively, you may set a dynamic navigation icon in the `getNavigationIcon()` method: ```php use Illuminate\Contracts\Support\Htmlable; public static function getNavigationIcon(): string | Htmlable | null { return 'heroicon-o-user-group'; } ``` ### #Sorting resource navigation items The `$navigationSort` property allows you to specify the order in which navigation items are listed: ```php protected static ?int $navigationSort = 2; ``` Alternatively, you may set a dynamic navigation item order in the `getNavigationSort()` method: ```php public static function getNavigationSort(): ?int { return 2; } ``` ### #Grouping resource navigation items You may group navigation items by specifying a `$navigationGroup` property: ```php protected static ?string $navigationGroup = 'Shop'; ``` Alternatively, you may use the `getNavigationGroup()` method to set a dynamic group label: ```php public static function getNavigationGroup(): ?string { return __('filament/navigation.groups.shop'); } ``` #### #Grouping resource navigation items under other items You may group navigation items as children of other items, by passing the label of the parent item as the `$navigationParentItem`: ```php protected static ?string $navigationParentItem = 'Products'; protected static ?string $navigationGroup = 'Shop'; ``` As seen above, if the parent item has a navigation group, that navigation group must also be defined, so the correct parent item can be identified. You may also use the `getNavigationParentItem()` method to set a dynamic parent item label: ```php public static function getNavigationParentItem(): ?string { return __('filament/navigation.groups.shop.items.products'); } ``` > If you’re reaching for a third level of navigation like this, you should consider using clusters instead, which are a logical grouping of resources and custom pages, which can share their own separate navigation. #Generating URLs to resource pages ---------------------------------- Filament provides `getUrl()` static method on resource classes to generate URLs to resources and specific pages within them. Traditionally, you would need to construct the URL by hand or by using Laravel’s `route()` helper, but these methods depend on knowledge of the resource’s slug or route naming conventions. The `getUrl()` method, without any arguments, will generate a URL to the resource’s List page: ```php use App\Filament\Resources\CustomerResource; CustomerResource::getUrl(); // /admin/customers ``` You may also generate URLs to specific pages within the resource. The name of each page is the array key in the `getPages()` array of the resource. For example, to generate a URL to the Create page: ```php use App\Filament\Resources\CustomerResource; CustomerResource::getUrl('create'); // /admin/customers/create ``` Some pages in the `getPages()` method use URL parameters like `record`. To generate a URL to these pages and pass in a record, you should use the second argument: ```php use App\Filament\Resources\CustomerResource; CustomerResource::getUrl('edit', ['record' => $customer]); // /admin/customers/edit/1 ``` In this example, `$customer` can be an Eloquent model object, or an ID. ### #Generating URLs to resource modals This can be especially useful if you are using simple resources with only one page. To generate a URL for an action in the resource’s table, you should pass the `tableAction` and `tableActionRecord` as URL parameters: ```php use App\Filament\Resources\CustomerResource; use Filament\Tables\Actions\EditAction; CustomerResource::getUrl(parameters: [ 'tableAction' => EditAction::getDefaultName(), 'tableActionRecord' => $customer, ]); // /admin/customers?tableAction=edit&tableActionRecord=1 ``` Or if you want to generate a URL for an action on the page like a `CreateAction` in the header, you can pass it in to the `action` parameter: ```php use App\Filament\Resources\CustomerResource; use Filament\Actions\CreateAction; CustomerResource::getUrl(parameters: [ 'action' => CreateAction::getDefaultName(), ]); // /admin/customers?action=create ``` ### #Generating URLs to resources in other panels If you have multiple panels in your app, `getUrl()` will generate a URL within the current panel. You can also indicate which panel the resource is associated with, by passing the panel ID to the `panel` argument: ```php use App\Filament\Resources\CustomerResource; CustomerResource::getUrl(panel: 'marketing'); ``` #Customizing the resource Eloquent query ---------------------------------------- Within Filament, every query to your resource model will start with the `getEloquentQuery()` method. Because of this, it’s very easy to apply your own query constraints or model scopes that affect the entire resource: ```php public static function getEloquentQuery(): Builder { return parent::getEloquentQuery()->where('is_active', true); } ``` ### #Disabling global scopes By default, Filament will observe all global scopes that are registered to your model. However, this may not be ideal if you wish to access, for example, soft deleted records. To overcome this, you may override the `getEloquentQuery()` method that Filament uses: ```php public static function getEloquentQuery(): Builder { return parent::getEloquentQuery()->withoutGlobalScopes(); } ``` Alternatively, you may remove specific global scopes: ```php public static function getEloquentQuery(): Builder { return parent::getEloquentQuery()->withoutGlobalScopes([ActiveScope::class]); } ``` More information about removing global scopes may be found in the Laravel documentation. #Customizing the resource URL ----------------------------- By default, Filament will generate a URL based on the name of the resource. You can customize this by setting the `$slug` property on the resource: ```php protected static ?string $slug = 'pending-orders'; ``` #Resource sub-navigation ------------------------ Sub-navigation allows the user to navigate between different pages within a resource. Typically, all pages in the sub-navigation will be related to the same record in the resource. For example, in a Customer resource, you may have a sub-navigation with the following pages: * View customer, a `ViewRecord` page that provides a read-only view of the customer’s details. * Edit customer, an `EditRecord` page that allows the user to edit the customer’s details. * Edit customer contact, an `EditRecord` page that allows the user to edit the customer’s contact details. You can learn how to create more than one Edit page. * Manage addresses, a `ManageRelatedRecords` page that allows the user to manage the customer’s addresses. * Manage payments, a `ManageRelatedRecords` page that allows the user to manage the customer’s payments. To add a sub-navigation to each “singular record” page in the resource, you can add the `getRecordSubNavigation()` method to the resource class: ```php use App\Filament\Resources\CustomerResource\Pages; use Filament\Resources\Pages\Page; public static function getRecordSubNavigation(Page $page): array { return $page->generateNavigationItems([ Pages\ViewCustomer::class, Pages\EditCustomer::class, Pages\EditCustomerContact::class, Pages\ManageCustomerAddresses::class, Pages\ManageCustomerPayments::class, ]); } ``` Each item in the sub-navigation can be customized using the same navigation methods as normal pages. > If you’re looking to add sub-navigation to switch *between* entire resources and custom pages, you might be looking for clusters, which are used to group these together. The `getRecordSubNavigation()` method is intended to construct a navigation between pages that relate to a particular record *inside* a resource. ### #Sub-navigation position The sub-navigation is rendered at the start of the page by default. You may change the position by setting the `$subNavigationPosition` property on the resource. The value may be `SubNavigationPosition::Start`, `SubNavigationPosition::End`, or `SubNavigationPosition::Top` to render the sub-navigation as tabs: ```php use Filament\Pages\SubNavigationPosition; protected static SubNavigationPosition $subNavigationPosition = SubNavigationPosition::End; ``` #Deleting resource pages ------------------------ If you’d like to delete a page from your resource, you can just delete the page file from the `Pages` directory of your resource, and its entry in the `getPages()` method. For example, you may have a resource with records that may not be created by anyone. Delete the `Create` page file, and then remove it from `getPages()`: ```php public static function getPages(): array { return [ 'index' => Pages\ListCustomers::route('/'), 'edit' => Pages\EditCustomer::route('/{record}/edit'), ]; } ``` Deleting a page will not delete any actions that link to that page. Any actions will open a modal instead of sending the user to the non-existent page. For instance, the `CreateAction` on the List page, the `EditAction` on the table or View page, or the `ViewAction` on the table or Edit page. If you want to remove those buttons, you must delete the actions as well. Edit on GitHub Still need help? Join our Discord community or open a GitHub discussion
