README

A lightweight Filament 5 panel plugin that adds a configurable “Visit Website” action to the panel topbar.

It provides a quick link from a Filament admin panel to the public website using native Filament UI. The URL, label, icon, tooltip, visibility, and new-tab behavior are configurable. The plugin requires no database tables, migrations, JavaScript, CSS, or frontend assets.

Source repository: Digit7s/filament-view-website

Features

• Custom label and icon
• Optional tooltip
• Same-tab or new-tab navigation
• Conditional visibility
• No database tables or migrations

Requirements

Laravel and Livewire compatibility follows Filament 5.

Installation

Install the package via Composer:

composer require digit7s/filament-view-website

Laravel package discovery registers the service provider automatically.

Usage

Register the plugin on each panel where the action should appear:

use Digit7s\FilamentViewWebsite\ViewWebsitePlugin;
use Filament\Panel;

public function panel(Panel $panel): Panel
{
    return $panel
        // ...
        ->plugin(
            ViewWebsitePlugin::make()
        );
}

With no configuration, the plugin:

• links to the Laravel application root (url('/'));
• displays Visit Website;
• uses the heroicon-o-arrow-top-right-on-square icon;
• opens the website in a new tab; and
• appears before the Filament user menu.

Configuration

Custom URL

Configure a static URL:

use Digit7s\FilamentViewWebsite\ViewWebsitePlugin;

ViewWebsitePlugin::make()
    ->url('https://example.com');

Dynamic URL

The URL may be provided as a closure:

ViewWebsitePlugin::make()
    ->url(fn (): string => config('app.frontend_url'));

Laravel helpers can also be used:

ViewWebsitePlugin::make()
    ->url(fn (): string => route('home'));

Custom Label

ViewWebsitePlugin::make()
    ->label('Open Website');

Custom Icon

ViewWebsitePlugin::make()
    ->icon('heroicon-o-globe-alt');

Tooltip

Set a custom tooltip:

ViewWebsitePlugin::make()
    ->tooltip('Open public website');

Disable the tooltip with ->tooltip(null).

Open in Same Tab

New-tab navigation is enabled by default. To open the website in the current tab:

ViewWebsitePlugin::make()
    ->openInNewTab(false);

Conditional Visibility

Use a boolean or closure to control whether the action is rendered:

ViewWebsitePlugin::make()
    ->visible(
        fn (): bool => auth()->user()?->can('view website') ?? false
    );

The package does not provide its own permission system; this only controls conditional rendering.

Complete Example

ViewWebsitePlugin::make()
    ->url('https://example.com')
    ->label('Visit Website')
    ->icon('heroicon-o-arrow-top-right-on-square')
    ->tooltip('Open public website')
    ->openInNewTab()
    ->visible(fn (): bool => true);

Defaults

Option	Default
URL	Application root (url('/'))
Label	Visit Website
Icon	heroicon-o-arrow-top-right-on-square
Tooltip	Open public website
New tab	Enabled
Visible	Yes
Position	Before the user menu

If the resolved URL is blank, the action is not rendered.

The plugin uses native Filament components, so it follows the panel's styling and dark mode. No custom CSS or JavaScript is required.

The same integration is also available in light mode and on narrow screens:
