# From SVG (recommended for best quality) php artisan filament-pwa:setup --generate-icons --source=public/logo.svg # From PNG/JPG php artisan filament-pwa:setup --generate-icons --source=public/logo.png
Step 4: Validate Setup
Validate your PWA configuration:
php artisan filament-pwa:setup --validate
โก Quick Start
Method 1: Fluent API (Recommended)
Register the plugin in your Panel provider with fluent configuration:
use Alareqi\FilamentPwa\FilamentPwaPlugin; public function panel(Panel $panel): Panel { return $panel ->plugins([ FilamentPwaPlugin::make() ->name('My Admin Panel') ->shortName('Admin') ->description('Powerful admin panel for managing your application') ->themeColor('#3B82F6') ->backgroundColor('#ffffff') ->standalone() ->language('en') ->ltr() ->enableInstallation(2000) // Show prompt after 2 seconds ->addShortcut('Dashboard', '/admin', 'Main dashboard') ->addShortcut('Users', '/admin/users', 'Manage users') ->icons('images/icons', [72, 96, 128, 144, 152, 192, 384, 512]) ->serviceWorker('my-app-v1.0.0', '/offline'), ]); }
Method 2: Configuration File
Alternatively, register the plugin and configure via config file:
use Alareqi\FilamentPwa\FilamentPwaPlugin; public function panel(Panel $panel): Panel { return $panel ->plugins([ FilamentPwaPlugin::make(), ]); }
Then configure in config/filament-pwa.php
:
return [ 'name' => 'My Admin Panel', 'short_name' => 'Admin', 'description' => 'Powerful admin panel for managing your application', 'theme_color' => '#3B82F6', 'background_color' => '#ffffff', 'display' => 'standalone', 'installation' => [ 'enabled' => true, 'prompt_delay' => 2000, 'ios_instructions_delay' => 5000, 'show_banner_in_debug' => true, ], 'shortcuts' => [ [ 'name' => 'Dashboard', 'url' => '/admin', 'description' => 'Main dashboard', ], ], ];
Method 3: Dynamic Configuration with Closures
For advanced use cases, use closures for dynamic configuration:
FilamentPwaPlugin::make() ->name(fn() => auth()->user()?->company_name ?? 'Admin Panel') ->themeColor(fn() => auth()->user()?->theme_color ?? '#3B82F6') ->language(fn() => auth()->user()?->language ?? app()->getLocale()) ->direction(fn() => auth()->user()?->text_direction ?? 'ltr') ->addShortcut(fn() => [ 'name' => 'My Dashboard', 'url' => '/admin/dashboard/' . auth()->id(), 'description' => 'Personal dashboard', ])

Language Configuration
Automatic Detection (Recommended)
The plugin automatically detects language and text direction from Laravel's configuration:
// The plugin will automatically use Laravel's app locale // and detect RTL languages (Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, etc.) FilamentPwaPlugin::make() // Language and direction are auto-detected
Manual Configuration
FilamentPwaPlugin::make() ->language('ar') // Set specific language ->rtl() // Set RTL direction // Or use LTR ->language('en') ->ltr()
Dynamic Language Configuration
FilamentPwaPlugin::make() ->language(fn() => auth()->user()?->language ?? app()->getLocale()) ->direction(fn() => auth()->user()?->text_direction ?? 'ltr')
RTL Language Support
For RTL languages like Arabic, the plugin automatically:
- Sets
dir="rtl"
in the PWA manifest - Provides culturally appropriate translations
- Handles text direction in installation prompts
- Supports RTL-aware UI components
// Automatic RTL detection for Arabic app()->setLocale('ar'); FilamentPwaPlugin::make() // Automatically detects Arabic and sets RTL direction
Custom Translations
To add custom translations or modify existing ones:
-
Publish the language files:
php artisan vendor:publish --tag="filament-pwa-lang"
-
Modify translations in
resources/lang/{locale}/pwa.php
:// resources/lang/ar/pwa.php return [ 'install_title' => 'ุชุซุจูุช ุงูุชุทุจูู', 'install_description' => 'ุงุญุตู ุนูู ุชุฌุฑุจุฉ ุฃูุถู ู ุน ุงูุชุทุจูู ุงูู ุซุจุช', // ... more translations ];
-
Add new language support:
# Copy existing translation file cp resources/lang/en/pwa.php resources/lang/your-locale/pwa.php # Translate the content
Translation Keys Reference
The plugin uses the following translation keys:
// Installation prompts 'install_title', 'install_description', 'install_button', 'dismiss_button' // iOS installation 'ios_install_title', 'ios_install_description', 'ios_step_1', 'ios_step_2', 'ios_step_3', 'got_it' // Updates 'update_available', 'update_description', 'update_now', 'update_later' // Offline functionality 'offline_title', 'offline_subtitle', 'offline_status', 'online_status' // Features and actions 'available_features', 'retry_connection', 'go_home' // Validation messages 'validation.manifest_missing', 'validation.service_worker_missing' // Setup command messages 'setup.starting', 'setup.completed', 'setup.validation_passed'
๐จ Icon Generation
The plugin automatically generates all required PWA icons from a single source image with high-quality output and maskable icon support.
Supported Source Formats
- SVG (Recommended) - Vector format provides the best quality at all sizes
- PNG - High-resolution raster images (minimum 512x512 recommended)
- JPG - Supported but PNG recommended for transparency
Basic Icon Generation
# Generate from SVG (best quality) php artisan filament-pwa:setup --generate-icons --source=public/logo.svg # Generate from PNG php artisan filament-pwa:setup --generate-icons --source=public/logo.png # Generate from different path php artisan filament-pwa:setup --generate-icons --source=/path/to/your/logo.svg
Generated Icon Sizes
The plugin generates icons in the following sizes by default:
- Standard Icons: 72x72, 96x96, 128x128, 144x144, 152x152, 192x192, 384x384, 512x512
- Maskable Icons: 192x192, 512x512 (with safe area padding)
- Favicon: 32x32 (saved as favicon.ico)
Maskable Icons
Maskable icons ensure your app icon looks great on all devices by providing a safe area:
// Configure maskable icon sizes 'icons' => [ 'maskable_sizes' => [192, 512], // Sizes for maskable icons ],
Maskable icons are automatically generated with:
- 80% safe area for the actual icon
- 20% padding around the edges
- Theme color background
Advanced Icon Configuration
// In your panel provider FilamentPwaPlugin::make() ->icons( path: 'images/icons', // Output directory sizes: [72, 96, 128, 144, 152, 192, 384, 512], // Standard sizes maskableSizes: [192, 512] // Maskable sizes ) // Or in config file 'icons' => [ 'path' => 'images/icons', 'sizes' => [72, 96, 128, 144, 152, 192, 384, 512], 'maskable_sizes' => [192, 512], ],
Image Processing Requirements
The plugin uses different image processing libraries based on availability:
- Imagick (Recommended) - Best quality, supports SVG natively
- GD Extension - Fallback option, limited SVG support
- Intervention Image - Enhanced image processing capabilities
Install Imagick for best results:
# Ubuntu/Debian sudo apt-get install php-imagick # macOS with Homebrew brew install imagemagick brew install php-imagick # Windows # Download from https://windows.php.net/downloads/pecl/releases/imagick/
Troubleshooting Icon Generation
Source image not found:
# Ensure the source path is correct
php artisan filament-pwa:setup --generate-icons --source=public/your-logo.svg
Poor quality icons:
- Use SVG source for best quality
- Ensure PNG source is at least 512x512 pixels
- Install Imagick extension for better processing
Permission errors:
# Ensure the icons directory is writable
chmod 755 public/images/icons
Manual Icon Placement
If you prefer to create icons manually, place them in the configured icons directory:
public/images/icons/
โโโ icon-72x72.png
โโโ icon-96x96.png
โโโ icon-128x128.png
โโโ icon-144x144.png
โโโ icon-152x152.png
โโโ icon-192x192.png
โโโ icon-192x192-maskable.png
โโโ icon-384x384.png
โโโ icon-512x512.png
โโโ icon-512x512-maskable.png
๐ Advanced Features
Debug Mode
Enable debug mode to always show installation prompts during development:
FilamentPwaPlugin::make() ->enableDebugBanner() // Always show installation banner in debug mode // Or in config 'installation' => [ 'show_banner_in_debug' => true, ],
Custom Service Worker
Extend the service worker functionality:
// Configure caching strategies FilamentPwaPlugin::make() ->serviceWorker( cacheName: 'my-app-v2.0.0', offlineUrl: '/custom-offline', cacheUrls: ['/admin', '/admin/dashboard', '/api/user'] )
App Shortcuts
Add shortcuts that appear when users long-press your app icon:
FilamentPwaPlugin::make() ->addShortcut('Dashboard', '/admin', 'Main dashboard') ->addShortcut('Users', '/admin/users', 'Manage users') ->addShortcut('Settings', '/admin/settings', 'App settings') // Dynamic shortcuts ->addShortcut(fn() => [ 'name' => 'My Profile', 'url' => '/admin/profile/' . auth()->id(), 'description' => 'View my profile', 'icons' => [['src' => '/images/profile-icon.png', 'sizes' => '96x96']], ])
HTTPS Requirements
PWAs require HTTPS in production. The plugin validates this automatically:
// Validation will check for HTTPS in production
php artisan filament-pwa:setup --validate
For development, you can use:
- Laravel Valet (automatic HTTPS)
php artisan serve
with--host=localhost
(localhost is exempt from HTTPS requirement)- ngrok for testing on mobile devices
Performance Optimization
The plugin includes several performance optimizations:
// Efficient caching strategies 'service_worker' => [ 'cache_patterns' => [ 'filament_assets' => '/\/css\/filament\/|\/js\/filament\//', // Cache Filament assets 'images' => '/\.(png|jpg|jpeg|svg|gif|webp|ico)$/', // Cache images 'fonts' => '/\.(woff|woff2|ttf|eot)$/', // Cache fonts ], ],
๐จ Automatic Color Detection
The plugin automatically detects and uses your Filament panel's primary color for the PWA installation banner and other UI elements. The color detection system works with both Filament v3 and v4:
Detection Priority
- Current Panel Context - Colors from the active panel (highest priority)
- Runtime Panel Detection - Detected from current route/request context
- Admin Panel - Default admin panel colors
- Any Available Panel - First available panel colors
- Configuration Files - Filament config file colors
- Fallback Color -
#6366f1
(Tailwind Indigo 500)
Supported Color Formats
The system handles various color formats used by Filament:
// Hex colors 'primary' => '#3B82F6' // RGB format 'primary' => 'rgb(59, 130, 246)' // Comma-separated RGB 'primary' => '59, 130, 246' // Filament Color arrays (v3/v4) 'primary' => [ 600 => '59, 130, 246', 500 => '#3B82F6', // ... other shades ] // Filament Color objects (v4) 'primary' => Color::Blue
Manual Override
You can override the automatic detection:
// In config/filament-pwa.php 'theme_color' => '#FF6B35', // Your custom color // Or via environment PWA_THEME_COLOR=#FF6B35 // Or via plugin configuration FilamentPwaPlugin::make()->themeColor('#FF6B35')
๐ง Troubleshooting
Common Issues
Installation prompt not showing:
// Enable debug mode to always show prompts FilamentPwaPlugin::make()->enableDebugBanner() // Check browser console for errors // Ensure HTTPS is enabled in production
Icons not loading:
# Regenerate icons php artisan filament-pwa:setup --generate-icons --source=public/logo.svg # Check file permissions chmod 755 public/images/icons
Service worker not updating:
// Update cache name to force refresh 'service_worker' => [ 'cache_name' => 'my-app-v1.0.1', // Increment version ],
PWA banner styling broken in Filament v4:
# Filament v4 uses Tailwind CSS v4 which has breaking changes # The plugin has been updated to be compatible with both Tailwind v3 and v4 # Make sure you're using the latest version of the plugin # Clear any cached views php artisan view:clear php artisan config:clear
Validation shows "Manifest file not found" or "Service worker not found":
# This is usually a false positive from older versions # The plugin serves these files dynamically through routes, not as physical files # Make sure the plugin is properly registered in your service provider # Check if routes are registered php artisan route:list | grep manifest php artisan route:list | grep sw.js
PWA not installable:
# Validate PWA requirements php artisan filament-pwa:setup --validate # Check browser developer tools > Application > Manifest
Validation Command
Use the validation command to check your PWA setup:
php artisan filament-pwa:setup --validate
This checks for:
- Manifest route registration and accessibility
- Service worker route registration and accessibility
- Required icons (192x192, 512x512)
- HTTPS in production
Note: The plugin serves manifest.json and sw.js dynamically through routes, not as physical files. The validation has been updated to check route registration instead of file existence.
Debug Information
Get detailed debug information about color detection and configuration:
use Alareqi\FilamentPwa\Services\PwaService; // In a controller or command $debug = PwaService::debugColorDetection(); dd($debug);
The debug output includes:
- Current panel detection and colors
- All available panels and their color configurations
- Color extraction steps and results
- Final resolved theme color
- Configuration sources and priorities
Browser Developer Tools
Use browser developer tools to debug PWA issues:
- Chrome DevTools > Application > Manifest - Check manifest configuration
- Application > Service Workers - Monitor service worker status
- Application > Storage - Check cached resources
- Console - Look for PWA-related errors
