Grouping actions - Filament

Introduction

You may group actions together into a dropdown menu by using an ActionGroup object. Groups may contain many actions, or other groups:

use Filament\Actions\Action;
use Filament\Actions\ActionGroup;

ActionGroup::make([
    Action::make('view'),
    Action::make('edit'),
    Action::make('delete'),
])

This page is about customizing the look of the group’s trigger button and dropdown.

Customizing the group trigger style

The button which opens the dropdown may be customized in the same way as a normal action. All the methods available for trigger buttons may be used to customize the group trigger button:

use Filament\Actions\ActionGroup;
use Filament\Support\Enums\Size;

ActionGroup::make([
    // Array of actions
])
    ->label('More actions')
    ->icon('heroicon-m-ellipsis-vertical')
    ->size(Size::Small)
    ->color('primary')
    ->button()

You may add a tooltip to the group trigger button using the tooltip() method:

use Filament\Actions\ActionGroup;

ActionGroup::make([
    // Array of actions
])
    ->tooltip('Actions')

Using a grouped button design

Instead of a dropdown, an action group can render itself as a group of buttons. This design works with and without button labels. To use this feature, use the buttonGroup() method:

use Filament\Actions\Action;
use Filament\Actions\ActionGroup;
use Filament\Support\Icons\Heroicon;

ActionGroup::make([
    Action::make('edit')
        ->color('gray')
        ->icon(Heroicon::PencilSquare)
        ->hiddenLabel(),
    Action::make('delete')
        ->color('gray')
        ->icon(Heroicon::Trash)
        ->hiddenLabel(),
])
    ->buttonGroup()

The dropdown may be positioned relative to the trigger button by using the dropdownPlacement() method:

use Filament\Actions\ActionGroup;

ActionGroup::make([
    // Array of actions
])
    ->dropdownPlacement('top-start')

Alternatively, you may let the dropdown position be automatically determined based on the available space using the dropdownAutoPlacement() method:

use Filament\Actions\ActionGroup;

ActionGroup::make([
    // Array of actions
])
    ->dropdownAutoPlacement()

Adding dividers between actions

You may add dividers between groups of actions by using nested ActionGroup objects:

use Filament\Actions\ActionGroup;

ActionGroup::make([
    ActionGroup::make([
        // Array of actions
    ])->dropdown(false),
    // Array of actions
])

The dropdown(false) method puts the actions inside the parent dropdown, instead of a new nested dropdown. The dropdown may be set to a width by using the dropdownWidth() method. Options correspond to Tailwind’s max-width scale. The options are ExtraSmall, Small, Medium, Large, ExtraLarge, TwoExtraLarge, ThreeExtraLarge, FourExtraLarge, FiveExtraLarge, SixExtraLarge and SevenExtraLarge:

use Filament\Actions\ActionGroup;
use Filament\Support\Enums\Width;

ActionGroup::make([
    // Array of actions
])
    ->dropdownWidth(Width::ExtraSmall)

You may control the offset of the dropdown using the dropdownOffset() method, by default the offset is set to 8.

use Filament\Actions\ActionGroup;

ActionGroup::make([
    // Array of actions
])
    ->dropdownOffset(16)

The dropdown content can have a maximum height using the maxHeight() method, so that it scrolls. You can pass a CSS length:

use Filament\Actions\ActionGroup;

ActionGroup::make([
    // Array of actions
])
    ->maxHeight('400px')
