Installation

Important

If you have not set up a custom theme and are using Filament Panels follow the instructions in the Filament Docs first.

After setting up a custom theme add the plugin's views to your theme css file or your app's css file if using the standalone packages.

@source '../../../../vendor/charlieetienne/filament-font-picker/resources/**/*.blade.php';

Usage

Use the FontPicker component in your Filament forms:

use CharlieEtienne\FilamentFontPicker\FontPicker;

FontPicker::make('font')
    ->label('Choose Font')

Options

You can control which font categories are available and which are preselected:

Available Categories

Limit which categories are shown (restricts the available options):

FontPicker::make('font')
    ->availableCategories([
        'serif', 
        'sans-serif', 
        'monospace', 
        'display', 
        'handwriting',
    ])

Selected Categories

Preselect certain categories when the component loads (users can still change them):

FontPicker::make('font')
    ->selectedCategories([
        'monospace', 
        'handwriting',
    ])

Other options

You can customize all these options:

FontPicker::make('font')
    ->placeholder('Select a font')
    ->searchPrompt('Search fonts')
    ->previewText('The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog')
    ->noResultsTitle('No fonts found matching')
    ->noResultsSubtitle('Try searching for serif, sans-serif, monospace, or display fonts')
    ->loadingMessage('Loading Google Fonts...')
    ->loadingPreviewMessage('Loading preview...')

Updating the Google Fonts list

The package includes a built-in Google Fonts dataset that works out of the box.

However, if you want to update the fonts data or need the latest fonts from Google, you'll need to configure a Google Fonts API key.

  1. Get a Google Fonts API key from the Google Cloud Console
  2. Add your API key to your .env file:
    GOOGLE_FONTS_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
  3. Update the Google Fonts data with the latest fonts from Google's API:
    php artisan filament-font-picker:update-fonts
    This command will fetch the latest fonts from Google and update the list of available fonts.

Requirements

  • PHP 8.2+
  • Filament 4.0+
  • Laravel 11.0+
