Main Functions of Filament v3

  • Panels

    Example Example

    Panels offer a structured environment where multiple resources such as models, forms, tables, and charts can be managed under a single admin dashboard.

    Example Scenario

    For example, a CMS admin dashboard to manage blog posts, users, and categories, each having dedicated panels for CRUD operations, statistics, and advanced filtering.

  • Forms

    Example Example

    Forms in Filament allow complex forms with validation, layout customization, and actions.

    Example Scenario

    An e-commerce website’s admin panel could use Filament’s form components to manage product listings, including features like creating new products with fields for name, price, and description, or editing product details, using step-based wizards for multi-step forms.

  • Tables

    Example Example

    Tables are used for data management with search, filtering, sorting, pagination, and actions for bulk data processing.

    Example Scenario

    A user management system where an admin can view users in a paginated table, filter users by role, sort them by signup date, and perform bulk actions like deactivating or deleting multiple users.

  • Widgets

    Example Example

    Widgets provide a way to display real-time stats, charts, or graphs on the dashboard, using integrations with Chart.js or other data visualization tools.

    Example Scenario

    A SaaS product dashboard showing key metrics like the number of active users, monthly revenue, or server uptime as dynamic stats cards, with real-time data updates.

  • Notifications

    Example Example

    Notifications allow developers to send user notifications when important actions are triggered in the app.

    Example Scenario

    In a project management tool, notifications can be sent to users when tasks are assigned or updated, or deadlines are approaching, via both browser alerts and email.

  • Actions

    Example Example

    Filament offers pre-built actions like Create, Edit, View, and Delete, which can be applied to resources like tables or models.

    Example Scenario

    In an inventory management system, administrators can use Filament actions to add new items to stock, edit existing item details, view item history, or delete old inventory records.
