FilamentPHP Forms Generation Skill

Overview

This skill generates FilamentPHP v4 form schemas with proper field configurations, validation rules, relationships, and layout components.

Documentation Reference

CRITICAL: Before generating forms, read:

• /home/mwguerra/projects/mwguerra/claude-code-plugins/filament-specialist/skills/filament-docs/references/forms/
• /home/mwguerra/projects/mwguerra/claude-code-plugins/filament-specialist/skills/filament-docs/references/schemas/

Workflow

Step 1: Analyze Requirements

Identify:

• Field types needed
• Validation rules
• Relationships (belongsTo, hasMany, etc.)
• Layout preferences (sections, tabs, columns)
• Conditional visibility
• Custom formatting

Step 2: Read Documentation

Navigate to forms documentation and extract:

• Exact field class names
• Available methods and options
• Validation integration patterns
• Relationship handling

Step 3: Generate Schema

Build the form schema with proper structure:

use Filament\Forms;
use Filament\Forms\Form;
use Filament\Forms\Components\Section;
use Filament\Forms\Components\Fieldset;
use Filament\Forms\Components\Grid;
use Filament\Forms\Components\TextInput;
use Filament\Forms\Components\Select;

public static function form(Form $form): Form
{
    return $form
        ->schema([
            // Fields organized in sections/fieldsets
        ]);
}

Schema Organization Requirement

CRITICAL: All form schemas MUST be organized using layout components. Never place fields directly at the root level of a form schema.

Minimum Organization Rules

1. Always use Sections or Fieldsets - Every form must have at least one Section or Fieldset wrapping its fields
2. Group related fields - Fields that belong together logically should be in the same Section/Fieldset
3. Use descriptive labels - Sections and Fieldsets should have meaningful titles
4. Consider collapsibility - Make sections collapsible when forms are long

Recommended Hierarchy

Form Schema
├── Section: "Primary Information"
│   ├── Fieldset: "Basic Details" (optional grouping)
│   │   ├── TextInput: name
│   │   └── TextInput: email
│   └── Fieldset: "Contact" (optional grouping)
│       ├── TextInput: phone
│       └── TextInput: address
├── Section: "Settings"
│   ├── Toggle: is_active
│   └── Select: status
└── Section: "Media" (collapsible)
    └── FileUpload: avatar

Bad Example (DO NOT DO THIS)

// ❌ WRONG: Fields at root level without organization
public static function form(Form $form): Form
{
    return $form
        ->schema([
            TextInput::make('name'),
            TextInput::make('email'),
            TextInput::make('phone'),
            Toggle::make('is_active'),
            FileUpload::make('avatar'),
        ]);
}

Good Example (ALWAYS DO THIS)

// ✅ CORRECT: Fields organized in sections
public static function form(Form $form): Form
{
    return $form
        ->schema([
            Section::make('Personal Information')
                ->description('Basic user details')
                ->schema([
                    TextInput::make('name')
                        ->required()
                        ->maxLength(255),
                    TextInput::make('email')
                        ->email()
                        ->required(),
                    TextInput::make('phone')
                        ->tel(),
                ]),

            Section::make('Settings')
                ->schema([
                    Toggle::make('is_active')
                        ->label('Active')
                        ->default(true),
                ]),

            Section::make('Profile Image')
                ->collapsible()
                ->schema([
                    FileUpload::make('avatar')
                        ->image()
                        ->disk('public')
                        ->directory('avatars'),
                ]),
        ]);
}

When to Use Section vs Fieldset

Complex Form Example

public static function form(Form $form): Form
{
    return $form
        ->schema([
            Section::make('Product Details')
                ->icon('heroicon-o-cube')
                ->schema([
                    Fieldset::make('Basic Information')
                        ->schema([
                            TextInput::make('name')
                                ->required()
                                ->maxLength(255),
                            TextInput::make('sku')
                                ->required()
                                ->unique(ignoreRecord: true),
                        ])
                        ->columns(2),

                    Fieldset::make('Pricing')
                        ->schema([
                            TextInput::make('price')
                                ->numeric()
                                ->prefix('$')
                                ->required(),
                            TextInput::make('compare_at_price')
                                ->numeric()
                                ->prefix('$'),
                        ])
                        ->columns(2),

                    RichEditor::make('description')
                        ->columnSpanFull(),
                ]),

            Section::make('Inventory')
                ->icon('heroicon-o-archive-box')
                ->collapsible()
                ->schema([
                    TextInput::make('quantity')
                        ->numeric()
                        ->default(0),
                    Toggle::make('track_inventory')
                        ->default(true),
                ]),

            Section::make('Media')
                ->icon('heroicon-o-photo')
                ->collapsible()
                ->collapsed()
                ->schema([
                    FileUpload::make('images')
                        ->multiple()
                        ->image()
                        ->reorderable(),
                ]),
        ]);
}

    ->hidden(fn (Get $get): bool => $get('type') !== 'company');

Output

Generated forms include:

1. Proper imports (including Section, Fieldset as needed)
2. Type declarations
3. Schema organized in Sections/Fieldsets (mandatory)
4. Validation rules
5. Layout structure with columns where appropriate
6. Relationship handling
7. Conditional logic
8. Collapsible sections for optional/secondary content
