Filament Modifiable Plugins

A powerful package for creating highly customizable Filament plugins. This package empowers plugin developers to provide end-users with extensive customization options for resources, including navigation, forms, tables, clusters, and more.

Why Use This Package?

When building Filament plugins that provide resources or pages, you often want to give developers using your plugin the flexibility to customize various aspects such as:

Navigation properties (labels, icons, groups, sorting)
Page features (titles, slugs, schemas/forms)
Table components (columns, filters, actions)
Resource organization (clusters, parent items)
Tenant ownership relationships
And much more!

This package provides a clean, fluent API to make all of these customizations possible without requiring plugin users to override entire resource classes.

Requirements

PHP 8.3+
Laravel 11.x or 12.x
Filament 4.1+ or 5.0+

Installation

Install the package via Composer:

composer require timo-de-winter/filament-modifiable-plugins

No additional configuration or publishing is required. The package will auto-register via Laravel's package discovery.

For Plugin Developers

For Plugin Users

If you've installed a Filament plugin that uses this package, you can easily customize the plugin's resources without modifying the plugin's source code.

Basic Customization

Here's a comprehensive example showing all available customization options:

use Filament\Panel;
use YourVendor\YourPlugin\YourPlugin;
use YourVendor\YourPlugin\Resources\UserResource;
use App\Filament\Clusters\Settings;

public function panel(Panel $panel): Panel
{
    return $panel
        ->plugins([
            YourPlugin::make()
                // Navigation customization
                ->navigationGroup('Settings', UserResource::class)
                ->label('System Users', UserResource::class)
                ->sort(10, UserResource::class)
                ->icon('heroicon-o-users', UserResource::class)
                ->activeIcon('heroicon-s-users', UserResource::class)
                ->badge('New', UserResource::class)
                ->badgeColor('success', UserResource::class)
                ->badgeTooltip('Recently added users', UserResource::class)

                // Cluster and organization
                ->cluster(Settings::class, UserResource::class)
                ->parentItem('user-management', UserResource::class)

                // Page customization
                ->title('Manage Users', UserResource::class)
                ->slug('system-users', UserResource::class)

                // Multi-tenancy
                ->tenantOwnershipRelationshipName('organization', UserResource::class)
        ]);
}

Control how resources appear in your Filament panel's navigation:

YourPlugin::make()
    ->navigationGroup('Settings', UserResource::class)
    ->label('Users', UserResource::class)
    ->sort(5, UserResource::class)
    ->icon('heroicon-o-users', UserResource::class)
    ->activeIcon('heroicon-s-users', UserResource::class)
    ->badge('12', UserResource::class)
    ->badgeColor('warning', UserResource::class)

All navigation methods support closures for dynamic values:

YourPlugin::make()
    ->badge(fn () => User::count(), UserResource::class)
    ->badgeColor(fn () => User::count() > 100 ? 'danger' : 'success', UserResource::class)

Page Customization

Customize page titles, slugs, and organization:

YourPlugin::make()
    ->title('User Management', UserResource::class)
    ->slug('manage-users', UserResource::class)
    ->cluster(Settings::class, UserResource::class)
    ->parentItem('system', UserResource::class)

Form/Schema Customization

Customize the form schema used in your resource's create and edit pages:

use Filament\Schemas\Schema;
use Filament\Schemas\Components\TextInput;
use Filament\Schemas\Components\Select;

YourPlugin::make()
    ->schema(function (Schema $schema) {
        return $schema
            ->components([
                TextInput::make('name')
                    ->required()
                    ->maxLength(255),
                TextInput::make('email')
                    ->email()
                    ->required(),
                Select::make('role')
                    ->options([
                        'admin' => 'Administrator',
                        'user' => 'User',
                    ])
                    ->required(),
            ]);
    }, UserResource::class)

Table Customization

Customize table columns, filters, and actions:

use Filament\Tables\Columns\TextColumn;
use Filament\Tables\Filters\SelectFilter;
use Filament\Tables\Actions\EditAction;
use Filament\Tables\Actions\DeleteAction;

YourPlugin::make()
    // Customize specific table elements
    ->columns([
        TextColumn::make('name')->searchable(),
        TextColumn::make('email')->searchable(),
        TextColumn::make('created_at')->dateTime(),
    ], UserResource::class)
    ->filters([
        SelectFilter::make('role')
            ->options([
                'admin' => 'Admin',
                'user' => 'User',
            ]),
    ], UserResource::class)
    ->recordActions([
        EditAction::make(),
        DeleteAction::make(),
    ], UserResource::class)
    ->toolbarActions([
        // Your toolbar/bulk actions here
    ], UserResource::class)

Alternatively, override the entire table configuration:

use Filament\Tables\Table;

YourPlugin::make()
    ->customTable(function (Table $table) {
        return $table
            ->columns([
                // Your columns
            ])
            ->filters([
                // Your filters
            ])
            ->recordActions([
                // Your actions
            ])
            ->toolbarActions([
                // Your toolbar actions
            ]);
    }, UserResource::class)

Targeting Specific Resources

When a plugin provides multiple resources, you can target specific ones by passing the resource class as the second parameter:

use YourVendor\YourPlugin\Resources\UserResource;
use YourVendor\YourPlugin\Resources\RoleResource;

YourPlugin::make()
    // Customize UserResource
    ->navigationGroup('User Management', UserResource::class)
    ->icon('heroicon-o-users', UserResource::class)

    // Customize RoleResource
    ->navigationGroup('User Management', RoleResource::class)
    ->icon('heroicon-o-shield-check', RoleResource::class)

    // This applies to all resources without specific customization
    ->sort(10)

Custom Relations and Pages

Override the relations and pages for a resource:

use YourVendor\YourPlugin\Resources\UserResource\RelationManagers\RolesRelationManager;
use YourVendor\YourPlugin\Resources\UserResource\Pages;

YourPlugin::make()
    ->customRelations([
        RolesRelationManager::class,
        // Your custom relation managers
    ], UserResource::class)
    ->customPages([
        'index' => Pages\ListUsers::class,
        'create' => Pages\CreateUser::class,
        'edit' => Pages\EditUser::class,
        // Your custom pages
    ], UserResource::class)

For Plugin Developers

If you're developing a Filament plugin and want to make your resources customizable, follow these steps.

Setting Up Your Plugin

1. Add the Trait to Your Plugin Class

Add the CanModifyResources trait to your plugin class:

<?php

namespace YourVendor\YourPlugin;

use Filament\Contracts\Plugin;
use Filament\Panel;
use TimoDeWinter\FilamentModifiablePlugins\Concerns\CanModifyResources;

class YourPlugin implements Plugin
{
    use CanModifyResources;

    public function getId(): string
    {
        return 'your-plugin-id';
    }

    public function register(Panel $panel): void
    {
        $panel->resources([
            Resources\UserResource::class,
            Resources\RoleResource::class,
        ]);
    }

    public function boot(Panel $panel): void
    {
        //
    }

    public static function make(): static
    {
        return app(static::class);
    }
}

Implementing Modifiable Resources

1. Add the Trait to Your Resource

Add the CanBeModified trait to each resource you want to make customizable:

<?php

namespace YourVendor\YourPlugin\Resources;

use Filament\Resources\Resource;
use TimoDeWinter\FilamentModifiablePlugins\Concerns\CanBeModified;

class UserResource extends Resource
{
    use CanBeModified;

    protected static ?string $model = User::class;

    protected static ?string $navigationIcon = 'heroicon-o-users';

    // Your resource implementation...
}

2. Implement Customizable Forms/Schemas

Use the getCustomSchema() method to allow form customization:

use Filament\Schemas\Schema;
use Filament\Schemas\Components\TextInput;

public static function schema(Schema $schema): Schema
{
    return self::getCustomSchema($schema, function (Schema $schema) {
        return $schema
            ->components([
                TextInput::make('name')
                    ->required()
                    ->maxLength(255),
                TextInput::make('email')
                    ->email()
                    ->required(),
                // Your default schema components...
            ]);
    });
}

3. Implement Customizable Tables

Use the getCustomTable() method with CustomizableTable for table customization:

use Filament\Tables\Table;
use TimoDeWinter\FilamentModifiablePlugins\CustomizableTable;
use Filament\Tables\Columns\TextColumn;
use Filament\Tables\Filters\TrashedFilter;
use Filament\Tables\Actions\EditAction;
use Filament\Tables\Actions\DeleteAction;

public static function table(Table $table): Table
{
    return self::getCustomTable($table, function (CustomizableTable $table) {
        return $table
            ->defaultColumns([
                TextColumn::make('id')->sortable(),
                TextColumn::make('name')->searchable()->sortable(),
                TextColumn::make('email')->searchable(),
                TextColumn::make('created_at')->dateTime(),
            ])
            ->defaultFilters([
                TrashedFilter::make(),
            ])
            ->defaultRecordActions([
                EditAction::make(),
                DeleteAction::make(),
            ])
            ->defaultToolbarActions([
                // Your default toolbar actions
            ]);
    });
}

4. Implement Customizable Relations

Use the getCustomRelations() method:

public static function getRelations(): array
{
    return self::getCustomRelations([
        RelationManagers\RolesRelationManager::class,
        // Your default relation managers...
    ]);
}

5. Implement Customizable Pages

Use the getCustomPages() method:

public static function getPages(): array
{
    return self::getCustomPages([
        'index' => Pages\ListUsers::class,
        'create' => Pages\CreateUser::class,
        'edit' => Pages\EditUser::class,
        // Your default pages...
    ]);
}

Best Practices

Always provide sensible defaults - Your resources should work perfectly out of the box even if users don't customize them.
Use the helper methods consistently - Always use getCustomSchema(), getCustomTable(), etc., in your resources to ensure customizations are applied.
Document customization options - Let your users know which resources can be customized and provide examples in your plugin's documentation.
Test with customizations - Include tests that verify customizations work correctly.
Use type hints - The package fully supports IDE autocompletion and type checking.

Complete Resource Example

Here's a complete example of a properly implemented modifiable resource:

<?php

namespace YourVendor\YourPlugin\Resources;

use Filament\Resources\Resource;
use Filament\Schemas\Schema;
use Filament\Schemas\Components\TextInput;
use Filament\Tables\Table;
use Filament\Tables\Columns\TextColumn;
use Filament\Tables\Actions\EditAction;
use Filament\Tables\Actions\DeleteAction;
use TimoDeWinter\FilamentModifiablePlugins\Concerns\CanBeModified;
use TimoDeWinter\FilamentModifiablePlugins\CustomizableTable;
use YourVendor\YourPlugin\Models\User;

class UserResource extends Resource
{
    use CanBeModified;

    protected static ?string $model = User::class;

    protected static ?string $navigationIcon = 'heroicon-o-users';

    protected static ?string $navigationGroup = 'Users';

    public static function schema(Schema $schema): Schema
    {
        return self::getCustomSchema($schema, function (Schema $schema) {
            return $schema
                ->components([
                    TextInput::make('name')
                        ->required()
                        ->maxLength(255),
                    TextInput::make('email')
                        ->email()
                        ->required()
                        ->unique(ignoreRecord: true),
                ]);
        });
    }

    public static function table(Table $table): Table
    {
        return self::getCustomTable($table, function (CustomizableTable $table) {
            return $table
                ->defaultColumns([
                    TextColumn::make('id')->sortable(),
                    TextColumn::make('name')->searchable()->sortable(),
                    TextColumn::make('email')->searchable(),
                    TextColumn::make('created_at')->dateTime()->sortable(),
                ])
                ->defaultFilters([
                    //
                ])
                ->defaultRecordActions([
                    EditAction::make(),
                    DeleteAction::make(),
                ])
                ->defaultToolbarActions([
                    //
                ]);
        });
    }

    public static function getRelations(): array
    {
        return self::getCustomRelations([
            //
        ]);
    }

    public static function getPages(): array
    {
        return self::getCustomPages([
            'index' => Pages\ListUsers::class,
            'create' => Pages\CreateUsers::class,
            'edit' => Pages\EditUsers::class,
        ]);
    }
}
