README

Visual drag-and-drop builder that writes Filament form PHP for developers. Arrange fields in the panel, then copy a Forms\Components schema into a Resource, Page, or Livewire component.

This free release supports Filament v3.2+ on Laravel 10 and 11. Filament 4 and 5 are not part of this version.

It generates code you paste into your app. It does not store form submissions or publish a public form URL.

Requirements

Package	Version
PHP	8.1, 8.2, or 8.3
Laravel	10.x or 11.x
Filament	3.2+ (tested on 3.3.x)

Features

Drag-and-drop canvas with reordering and nesting
Layout: Section, Grid
Fields: TextInput (text, email, numeric, password, tel, url), Textarea, Select, Toggle, Checkbox, Radio, DatePicker
Inspector for labels, names, validation, column span, and options
PHP export as a schema array or a full form() method, with imported classes or FQCN
Copy to clipboard, JSON import/export, full-screen workspace
Available in local and testing by default

Installation

composer require akshaysmohite/filament-form-generator
php artisan filament:assets

Run php artisan filament:assets again after each upgrade so the builder script stays current.

use Akshay\FilamentFormGenerator\FilamentFormGeneratorPlugin;

public function panel(Panel $panel): Panel
{
    return $panel
        // ...
        ->plugins([
            FilamentFormGeneratorPlugin::make()
                ->navigationGroup('Development')
                ->navigationIcon('heroicon-o-wrench-screwdriver')
                ->navigationLabel('Filament Form Generator'),
        ]);
}

Open the panel and choose Filament Form Generator. On a default panel the page is /admin/filament-form-generator.

Configuration

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="filament-form-generator-config"

The page is limited to local and testing:

// config/filament-form-generator.php
'allowed_environments' => [
    'local',
    'testing',
],

Use ['*'] to allow every environment, or authorize in the panel provider:

FilamentFormGeneratorPlugin::make()
    ->authorize(fn () => auth()->user()?->isSuperAdmin());

Planned Pro edition

This package is free while we see whether developers want a fuller builder. Pro would add the pieces that are slow to write by hand:

Repeater and Builder
Wizard, Tabs, and Fieldset
File upload, rich editor, markdown, tags, key-value, and color picker
Relationship selects
Conditional visibility

If you would use those, open a GitHub issue titled Pro interest. Name the fields you need, and say what a one-time license would be worth to you. A Filament 4 build would be a separate release.

Local development

Point a Laravel app at this checkout:

"repositories": [
    {
        "type": "path",
        "url": "../filament-form-generator",
        "options": {
            "symlink": true
        }
    }
],
"require": {
    "akshaysmohite/filament-form-generator": "@dev"
}

composer update akshaysmohite/filament-form-generator
php artisan filament:assets

The sibling app filament-form-generator-demo is the local preview. Sign in with preview@example.com / password123, then open /admin/filament-form-generator.
