Overview

Text entries display simple text:

Displaying as a “badge”

By default, text is quite plain and has no background color. You can make it appear as a “badge” instead using the badge() method. A great use case for this is with statuses, where may want to display a badge with a color that matches the status:
You may add other things to the badge, like an icon.

Date formatting

You may use the date() and dateTime() methods to format the entry’s state using PHP date formatting tokens:
You may use the since() method to format the entry’s state using Carbon’s diffForHumans():
Additionally, you can use the dateTooltip(), dateTimeTooltip() or timeTooltip() method to display a formatted date in a tooltip, often to provide extra information:

Number formatting

The numeric() method allows you to format an entry as a number:
If you would like to customize the number of decimal places used to format the number with, you can use the decimalPlaces argument:
By default, your app’s locale will be used to format the number suitably. If you would like to customize the locale used, you can pass it to the locale argument:
Alternatively, you can set the default locale used across your app using the Infolist::$defaultNumberLocale method in the boot() method of a service provider:

Currency formatting

The money() method allows you to easily format monetary values, in any currency:
There is also a divideBy argument for money() that allows you to divide the original value by a number before formatting it. This could be useful if your database stores the price in cents, for example:
By default, your app’s locale will be used to format the money suitably. If you would like to customize the locale used, you can pass it to the locale argument:
Alternatively, you can set the default locale used across your app using the Infolist::$defaultNumberLocale method in the boot() method of a service provider:

Limiting text length

You may limit() the length of the entry’s value:
You may also reuse the value that is being passed to limit():

Limiting word count

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

Limiting text to a specific number of lines

You may want to limit text to a specific number of lines instead of limiting it to a fixed length. Clamping text to a number of lines is useful in responsive interfaces where you want to ensure a consistent experience across all screen sizes. This can be achieved using the lineClamp() method:

Listing multiple values

By default, if there are multiple values inside your text entry, they will be comma-separated. You may use the listWithLineBreaks() method to display them on new lines instead:

Adding bullet points to the list

You may add a bullet point to each list item using the bulleted() method:

Limiting the number of values in the list

You can limit the number of values in the list using the limitList() method:

Expanding the limited list

You can allow the limited items to be expanded and collapsed, using the expandableLimitedList() method:
Please note that this is only a feature for listWithLineBreaks() or bulleted(), where each item is on its own line.

Using a list separator

If you want to “explode” a text string from your model into multiple list items, you can do so with the separator() method. This is useful for displaying comma-separated tags as badges, for example:

Rendering HTML

If your entry value is HTML, you may render it using html():
If you use this method, then the HTML will be sanitized to remove any potentially unsafe content before it is rendered. If you’d like to opt out of this behavior, you can wrap the HTML in an HtmlString object by formatting it:
Or, you can return a view() object from the formatStateUsing() method, which will also not be sanitized:

Rendering Markdown as HTML

If your entry value is Markdown, you may render it using markdown():

Custom formatting

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

Customizing the color

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

Adding an icon

Text entries may also have an icon:
You may set the position of an icon using iconPosition():
The icon color defaults to the text color, but you may customize the icon color separately using iconColor():

Customizing the text size

Text columns have small font size by default, but you may change this to TextEntrySize::ExtraSmall, TextEntrySize::Medium, or TextEntrySize::Large. For instance, you may make the text larger using size(TextEntrySize::Large):

Customizing the font weight

Text entries have regular font weight by default, but you may change this to any of the following options: FontWeight::Thin, FontWeight::ExtraLight, FontWeight::Light, FontWeight::Medium, FontWeight::SemiBold, FontWeight::Bold, FontWeight::ExtraBold or FontWeight::Black. For instance, you may make the font bold using weight(FontWeight::Bold):

Customizing the font family

You can change the text font family to any of the following options: FontFamily::Sans, FontFamily::Serif or FontFamily::Mono. For instance, you may make the font monospaced using fontFamily(FontFamily::Mono):

Allowing the text to be copied to the clipboard

You may make the text copyable, such that clicking on the entry 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.
