How to use search

1. Add the IsSearchable interface to the model
2. Implement the required methods. Your IDE will inform you when adding the interface.
3. Add the use Searchable trait to the model
4. Add the config to searchable.php config by adding it to the models array where the key is the model and the value is an array with the searchable columns
5. Modules can also be specified in the modules section in searchable.php. Here the key is the relation name and the value an array of searchable fields. To search a module on a model add the name of the resource to the model array like you would add a column
6. In the example below the page searches in the columns name and content, as well as the module heroImage, for which the columns title and content are searchable

'models' => [
    Page::class => [
        'name',
        'content',
        'heroImage',
    ],
],

'modules' => [
    'heroImage' => [
        'title',
        'content',
    ],
],

Elasticsearch

The search module makes use of elasticsearch, please make sure SCOUT_DRIVER is set to elastic in your .env

To sync models to elastic run php artisan search:sync.

This project also contains a docker file which can be executed using laravel sail. The default port for elastic in this docker file is 9298. To allow your local project to communicate with this docker file add ELASTIC_HOST=localhost:9298 to your .env

2. add static::$model::heroableFields(), to the form fields in the resource

How to use Employees

How to use menus

2. Implement required methods
3. Available resources will be auto detected by the menu item resource

How to use icon picker

1. create a folder in /resources/images/svg
2. Place all the SVGs voor de icons you want in this folder
3. add the IconPicker to a resource (with preload):

IconPicker::make('icon')
    ->preload()

How to use titles and slugs

1. For titles and slugs we use a forked and self-hosted project filament-title-with-slug
2. On forms use the TitleWithSlugInput form component. This will handle both the title and the slug. Both fields are required and the slug field validates if it is unique.
3. For more documentation checkout the motivo repository

How to use blocks module

1. Simple add BlockModule::make('content') to any resource, where the param is the name of the column which stores the data.
2. Add 'content' => 'array' to the casts of the model
3. New blocks can be created by making a new class in the App/Filament/Plugins/Blocks directory and extending the BaseBlock model
4. New blocks can be registered in the active array in the blocks.php config file
5. There is also a toggle content field, which can have nested fields. These are registed in the toggle_content array in the blocks.php config
6. You can also create your own set of blocks.
   1. First create a new array in the blocks.php config file. The key of this array is not restricted.
   2. When adding the block module to the resource you can specify a second parameter, which is the key of the array from the previous step, for example BlockModule::make('content', 'form-builder')

How to use form module

1. The form module is build on top of the blocks module
2. Adding a new form can be done by creating a new form block, extending the FormBlock class
3. Blocks can be registered in the form array in the blocks.php config file.

2. visit /blog/{blog:slug} for the show page of a blog

Settings

1. For settings we use the spatie plugin.
2. Optional: add the filament page to the correct navigation group protected static ?string $navigationGroup = 'settings';
3. Add the settings to view composer in AppServiceProvider to access variables in blade
