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')
Alternatively, you can set the default currency through the environment variable DEFAULT_CURRENCY.

​
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;
use Filament\Tables\Contracts\HasTable;

TextColumn::make('index')->getStateUsing(
    static function (stdClass $rowLoop, HasTable $livewire): string {
        return (string) (
            $rowLoop->iteration +
            ($livewire->tableRecordsPerPage * (
                $livewire->getPage() - 1
            ))
        );
    }
),
As $rowLoop is Laravel Blade’s $loop object, you can reference all other $loop properties.

​
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}"))

​
Adding a placeholder if the cell is empty

Sometimes you may want to display a placeholder if the cell’s value is empty: 
use Filament\Tables\Columns\TextColumn;

TextColumn::make('updated_at')
    ->placeholder('Never')

​
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.

​
Customizing the text that is copied to the clipboard

You can customize the text that gets copied to the clipboard using the `copyableState() method: 
use Filament\Tables\Columns\TextColumn;

TextColumn::make('url')
    ->copyable()
    ->copyableState(fn (string $state): string => "URL: {$state}")
In this function, you can access the whole table row with $record: 
use App\Models\Post;
use Filament\Tables\Columns\TextColumn;

TextColumn::make('url')
    ->copyable()
    ->copyableState(fn (Post $record): string => "URL: {$record->url}")
