FilamentPHP Resource Generation Skill

Overview

This skill generates complete FilamentPHP v4 resources including form schemas, table configurations, relation managers, and custom pages. All generated code follows official documentation patterns.

Documentation Reference

CRITICAL: Before generating any resource, read:

• /home/mwguerra/projects/mwguerra/claude-code-plugins/filament-specialist/skills/filament-docs/references/general/03-resources/
• /home/mwguerra/projects/mwguerra/claude-code-plugins/filament-specialist/skills/filament-docs/references/forms/
• /home/mwguerra/projects/mwguerra/claude-code-plugins/filament-specialist/skills/filament-docs/references/tables/

Workflow

Step 1: Gather Requirements

Identify:

• Model name and namespace
• Fields to include in form
• Columns to display in table
• Relationships to manage
• Custom actions needed
• Authorization requirements

Step 2: Generate Base Resource

Use Laravel artisan to create the resource:

# Basic resource
php artisan make:filament-resource ModelName

# With generate flag (creates form/table from model)
php artisan make:filament-resource ModelName --generate

# Soft deletes support
php artisan make:filament-resource ModelName --soft-deletes

# View page only
php artisan make:filament-resource ModelName --view

# Simple resource (modal forms instead of pages)
php artisan make:filament-resource ModelName --simple

Step 3: Customize Form Schema

Read form field documentation and implement:

use Filament\Forms;
use Filament\Forms\Form;

public static function form(Form $form): Form
{
    return $form
        ->schema([
            Forms\Components\Section::make('Basic Information')
                ->schema([
                    Forms\Components\TextInput::make('name')
                        ->required()
                        ->maxLength(255),
                    Forms\Components\Textarea::make('description')
                        ->rows(3)
                        ->columnSpanFull(),
                ]),
            Forms\Components\Section::make('Settings')
                ->schema([
                    Forms\Components\Toggle::make('is_active')
                        ->default(true),
                    Forms\Components\Select::make('status')
                        ->options([
                            'draft' => 'Draft',
                            'published' => 'Published',
                        ]),
                ]),
        ]);
}

Step 4: Customize Table

Read table documentation and implement:

use Filament\Tables;
use Filament\Tables\Table;

public static function table(Table $table): Table
{
    return $table
        ->columns([
            Tables\Columns\TextColumn::make('name')
                ->searchable()
                ->sortable(),
            Tables\Columns\IconColumn::make('is_active')
                ->boolean(),
            Tables\Columns\BadgeColumn::make('status')
                ->colors([
                    'warning' => 'draft',
                    'success' => 'published',
                ]),
            Tables\Columns\TextColumn::make('created_at')
                ->dateTime()
                ->sortable()
                ->toggleable(isToggledHiddenByDefault: true),
        ])
        ->filters([
            Tables\Filters\SelectFilter::make('status')
                ->options([
                    'draft' => 'Draft',
                    'published' => 'Published',
                ]),
            Tables\Filters\TernaryFilter::make('is_active'),
        ])
        ->actions([
            Tables\Actions\ViewAction::make(),
            Tables\Actions\EditAction::make(),
            Tables\Actions\DeleteAction::make(),
        ])
        ->bulkActions([
            Tables\Actions\BulkActionGroup::make([
                Tables\Actions\DeleteBulkAction::make(),
            ]),
        ]);
}

Step 5: Add Relation Managers

For relationships, create relation managers:

php artisan make:filament-relation-manager ResourceName RelationName column_name

Register in resource:

public static function getRelations(): array
{
    return [
        RelationManagers\CommentsRelationManager::class,
        RelationManagers\TagsRelationManager::class,
    ];
}

Step 6: Configure Pages

Define resource pages:

public static function getPages(): array
{
    return [
        'index' => Pages\ListModels::route('/'),
        'create' => Pages\CreateModel::route('/create'),
        'view' => Pages\ViewModel::route<
