Entry model
php artisan make:model -m Entry
creates skeleton files for a model and migration
we edit the migration to hold the fields we desire to be present in each record
just the minimal are added for now, paying attention to the amount of data that these may need to hold
- string (varchar): ~255 chars default.
- text: ~65 KB.
- mediumText: ~16 MB.
php artisan migrate
runs the migration to create the table
Entry filament resource
❯ php artisan filament:resource Entry
The "title attribute" is used to label each record in the UI.
You can leave this blank if records do not have a title.
┌ What is the title attribute for this model? ─────────────────┐

┌ Would you like to generate a read-only view page for the resource? ┐
│ Yes │
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

INFO Filament resource [App\Filament\Resources\Entries\EntryResource] created successfully.
There is more work to do on this model but for now, a new resource is added to the admin panel by which records can be added, edited, listed.
Full CRUD is already possible. This is amazing if you think how long this would have taken to create all this manually.
slugify
TextInput::make('title')
->required()
->reactive()
->afterStateUpdated(function ($state, $set): void {
$set('slug', Str::slug((string) $state));
}),
TextInput::make('slug')
->required(),
adding reactive and afterStateUpdted to title automatically creates a safe slug
I class things like this creature comforts of the framework and it shows how simple it can be to make fields active and updated by previous entries
For the user, this reduces error and confusion over what a url should be
rich editor
just changing the TextInput for content
RichEditor::make('content')
->columnSpanFull(),
to RichEditr gives us a 'tiptap' rich text editor
already, this is feeling more like a mini CMS, with relatively little effort
