The Table Builder package is pre-installed with the Panel Builder. This guide is for using the Table Builder in a custom TALL Stack application (Tailwind, Alpine, Livewire, Laravel).

​
Requirements

Filament requires the following to run:

​
Installation

Require the Table Builder package using Composer: 
composer require filament/tables:"^3.3" -W

​
New Laravel projects

To quickly get started with Filament in a new Laravel project, run the following commands to install Livewire, Alpine.js, and Tailwind CSS:
Since these commands will overwrite existing files in your application, only run this in a new Laravel project! 
php artisan filament:install --scaffold --tables

npm install

npm run dev

​
Existing Laravel projects

Run the following command to install the Table Builder assets: 
php artisan filament:install --tables

​
Installing Tailwind CSS

Filament uses Tailwind CSS v3 for styling. If your project uses Tailwind CSS v4, you will unfortunately need to downgrade it to v3 to use Filament. Filament v3 can’t support Tailwind CSS v4 since it introduces breaking changes. Filament v4 will support Tailwind CSS v4.
Run the following command to install Tailwind CSS with the Tailwind Forms and Typography plugins: 
npm install tailwindcss@3 @tailwindcss/forms @tailwindcss/typography postcss postcss-nesting autoprefixer --save-dev
Create a new tailwind.config.js file and add the Filament preset (includes the Filament color scheme and the required Tailwind plugins): 
import preset from './vendor/filament/support/tailwind.config.preset'


export default {
    presets: [preset],
    content: [
        './app/Filament/**/*.php',
        './resources/views/filament/**/*.blade.php',
        './vendor/filament/**/*.blade.php',
    ],
}

​
Configuring styles

Add Tailwind’s CSS layers to your resources/css/app.css: 
@tailwind base;
@tailwind components;
@tailwind utilities;
@tailwind variants;
Create a postcss.config.js file in the root of your project and register Tailwind CSS, PostCSS Nesting and Autoprefixer as plugins: 
export default {
    plugins: {
        'tailwindcss/nesting': 'postcss-nesting',
        tailwindcss: {},
        autoprefixer: {},
    },
}

​
Automatically refreshing the browser

You may also want to update your vite.config.js file to refresh the page automatically when Livewire components are updated: 
import { defineConfig } from 'vite'

import laravel, { refreshPaths } from 'laravel-vite-plugin'

<Warning>
You are currently viewing the documentation for Filament 3.x, which is a previous version of Filament.

Looking for the current stable version? Visit the [5.x documentation](/5.x/tables).
</Warning>

export default defineConfig({
    plugins: [
        laravel({
            input: ['resources/css/app.css', 'resources/js/app.js'],
            refresh: [
                ...refreshPaths,
                'app/Livewire/**',
            ],
        }),
    ],
})

​
Compiling assets

Compile your new CSS and Javascript assets using npm run dev.

​
Configuring your layout

Create a new resources/views/components/layouts/app.blade.php layout file for Livewire components: 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="{{ str_replace('_', '-', app()->getLocale()) }}">
    <head>
        <meta charset="utf-8">

        <meta name="application-name" content="{{ config('app.name') }}">
        <meta name="csrf-token" content="{{ csrf_token() }}">
        <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

        <title>{{ config('app.name') }}</title>

        <style>
            [x-cloak] {
                display: none !important;
            }
        </style>

        @filamentStyles
        @vite('resources/css/app.css')
    </head>

    <body class="antialiased">
        {{ $slot }}

        @filamentScripts
        @vite('resources/js/app.js')
    </body>
</html>

​
Publishing configuration

You can publish the package configuration using the following command (optional): 
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=filament-config

​
Upgrading

Upgrading from Filament v2? Please review the upgrade guide.
Filament automatically upgrades to the latest non-breaking version when you run composer update. After any updates, all Laravel caches need to be cleared, and frontend assets need to be republished. You can do this all at once using the filament:upgrade command, which should have been added to your composer.json file when you ran filament:install the first time: 
"post-autoload-dump": [
    // ...
    "@php artisan filament:upgrade"
],
Please note that filament:upgrade does not actually handle the update process, as Composer does that already. If you’re upgrading manually without a post-autoload-dump hook, you can run the command yourself: 
composer update

php artisan filament:upgrade
