Text columns display simple text from your database:

use Filament\Tables\Columns\TextColumn;
 
TextColumn::make('title')

#Displaying a description

Descriptions may be used to easily render additional text above or below the column contents.

You can display a description below the contents of a text column using the description() method:

use Filament\Tables\Columns\TextColumn;
 
TextColumn::make('title')
    ->description(fn (Post $record): string => $record->description)

By default, the description is displayed below the main text, but you can move it above using the second parameter:

use Filament\Tables\Columns\TextColumn;
 
TextColumn::make('title')
    ->description(fn (Post $record): string => $record->description, position: 'above')

#Date formatting

You may use the date() and dateTime() methods to format the column's state using PHP date formatting tokens:

use Filament\Tables\Columns\TextColumn;
 
TextColumn::make('created_at')->dateTime()

You may use the since() method to format the column's state using Carbon's diffForHumans():

use Filament\Tables\Columns\TextColumn;
 
TextColumn::make('created_at')->since()

#Currency formatting

The money() method allows you to easily format monetary values, in any currency. This functionality uses akaunting/laravel-money internally:

use Filament\Tables\Columns\TextColumn;
 
TextColumn::make('price')->money('eur')

#Limiting text length

You may limit() the length of the cell's value:

use Filament\Tables\Columns\TextColumn;
 
TextColumn::make('description')->limit(50)

You may also reuse the value that is being passed to limit():

use Filament\Tables\Columns\TextColumn;
 
TextColumn::make('description')
    ->limit(50)
    ->tooltip(function (TextColumn $column): ?string {
        $state = $column->getState();
 
        if (strlen($state) <= $column->getLimit()) {
            return null;
        }
 
        // Only render the tooltip if the column contents exceeds the length limit.
        return $state;
    })

#Limiting word count

You may limit the number of words() displayed in the cell:

use Filament\Tables\Columns\TextColumn;
 
TextColumn::make('description')->words(10)

#Wrapping content

If you'd like your column's content to wrap if it's too long, you may use the wrap() method:

use Filament\Tables\Columns\TextColumn;
 
TextColumn::make('description')->wrap()

#Rendering HTML

If your column value is HTML, you may render it using html():

use Filament\Tables\Columns\TextColumn;
 
TextColumn::make('description')->html()

#Enum formatting

You may also transform a set of known cell values using the enum() method:

use Filament\Tables\Columns\TextColumn;
 
TextColumn::make('status')->enum([
    'draft' => 'Draft',
    'reviewing' => 'Reviewing',
    'published' => 'Published',
])

#Displaying the row index

You may want a column to contain the number of the current row in the table:

use Filament\Tables\Columns\TextColumn;
 
TextColumn::make('index')->getStateUsing(static function (stdClass $rowLoop): string {
    return (string) $rowLoop->iteration;
});

As $rowLoop is Laravel's Blade $loop object, you can reference all other $loop properties.

As a shortcut, you may use the rowIndex() method:

use Filament\Tables\Columns\TextColumn;
 
TextColumn::make('index')->rowIndex()

To start counting from 0 instead of 1, use isFromZero: true:

use Filament\Tables\Columns\TextColumn;
 
TextColumn::make('index')->rowIndex(isFromZero: true)

#Custom formatting

You may instead pass a custom formatting callback to formatStateUsing(), which accepts the $state of the cell, and optionally its $record:

use Filament\Tables\Columns\TextColumn;
 
TextColumn::make('status')
    ->formatStateUsing(fn (string $state): string => __("statuses.{$state}"))

#Customizing the color

You may set a color for the text, either primary, secondary, success, warning or danger:

use Filament\Tables\Columns\TextColumn;
 
TextColumn::make('status')
    ->color('primary')

#Adding an icon

Text columns may also have an icon:

use Filament\Tables\Columns\TextColumn;
 
TextColumn::make('email')
    ->icon('heroicon-s-mail')

You may set the position of an icon using iconPosition():

use Filament\Tables\Columns\TextColumn;
 
TextColumn::make('email')
    ->icon('heroicon-s-mail')
    ->iconPosition('after') // `before` or `after`

#Customizing the text size

You may make the text smaller using size('sm'):

use Filament\Tables\Columns\TextColumn;
 
TextColumn::make('email')
    ->size('sm')

Or you can make it larger using size('lg'):

use Filament\Tables\Columns\TextColumn;
 
TextColumn::make('title')
    ->size('lg')

#Customizing the font weight

Text columns have regular font weight by default but you may change this to any of the the following options: thin, extralight, light, medium, semibold, bold, extrabold or black.

For instance, you may make the font bold using weight('bold'):

use Filament\Tables\Columns\TextColumn;
 
TextColumn::make('email')
    ->weight('bold')

#Customizing the font family

You can change the text font family to any of the following options: sans, serif or mono.

For instance, you may make the font mono using fontFamily('mono'):

use Filament\Tables\Columns\TextColumn;
 
TextColumn::make('text')
    ->fontFamily('mono')

#Allowing the text to be copied to the clipboard

You may make the text copyable, such that clicking on the cell copies the text to the clipboard, and optionally specify a custom confirmation message and duration in milliseconds. This feature only works when SSL is enabled for the app.

use Filament\Tables\Columns\TextColumn;
 
TextColumn::make('email')
    ->copyable()
    ->copyMessage('Email address copied')
    ->copyMessageDuration(1500)

Filament uses tooltips to display the copy message in the admin panel. If you want to use the copyable feature outside of the admin panel, make sure you have @ryangjchandler/alpine-tooltip installed in your app.
