Create blog resource

Introduction

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.

Create a migration

php artisan make:migration create_blogs_table

and edit it :

Schema::create('blogs', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->id();
    $table->string('slug');
    $table->string('title');
    $table->text('body')->nullable();
    $table->timestamps();
});

Create a model

First, create laravel model for your resource.

php artisan make:model Blog

add column to $fillable property in app\Models\Blog.php

protected $fillable = [
    'slug',
    'title',
    'body',
];

Create a resource

To create a resource for the App\Models\Blog model:

php artisan make:filament-resource Blog

This will create several files in the app/Filament/Resources directory:

.
+-- BlogResource.php
+-- BlogResource
|   +-- Pages
|   |   +-- CreateBlog.php
|   |   +-- EditBlog.php
|   |   +-- ListBlogs.php

Configure resource table

Open app\Filament\Resources\BlogResource.php and edit table method :

public static function table(Table $table): Table
{
    return $table
        ->columns([
            TextColumn::make('title'),
            TextColumn::make('slug'),
        ])
        ->filters([
            //
        ])
        ->actions([
            Tables\Actions\EditAction::make(),
        ])
        ->bulkActions([
            Tables\Actions\BulkActionGroup::make([
                Tables\Actions\DeleteBulkAction::make(),
            ]),
        ])
        ->emptyStateActions([
            Tables\Actions\CreateAction::make(),
        ]);
}

There we add a TextColumn, filament will automatically detect it according to the column name in the database table

Configure resource form

Open app\Filament\Resources\BlogResource.php and edit form method :

public static function form(Form $form): Form
{
    return $form
        ->schema([
            TextInput::make('title'),
            TextInput::make('slug'),
            Textarea::make('body')
                ->columnSpanFull()
                ->rows(10)
        ]);
}

Run migration

php artisan migrate

and finally, you have a CRUD feature for Blog Resource. Open admin/blogs in your browser
