## Introduction
You may create your own custom column classes and views, which you can reuse across your project, and even release as a plugin to the community.
To create a custom column class and view, you may use the following command:
```bash theme={"theme":"gruvbox-dark-hard"}
php artisan make:filament-table-column AudioPlayerColumn
```
This will create the following component class:
```php theme={"theme":"gruvbox-dark-hard"}
use Filament\Tables\Columns\Column;
class AudioPlayerColumn extends Column
{
protected string $view = 'filament.tables.columns.audio-player-column';
}
```
It will also create a view file at `resources/views/filament/tables/columns/audio-player-column.blade.php`.
Filament table columns are **not** Livewire components. Defining public properties and methods on a table column class will not make them accessible in the Blade view.
## Accessing the state of the column in the Blade view
Inside the Blade view, you may access the [state](./overview#column-content-state) of the column using the `$getState()` function:
```blade theme={"theme":"gruvbox-dark-hard"}
{{ $getState() }}
```
## Accessing the Eloquent record in the Blade view
Inside the Blade view, you may access the current table row's Eloquent record using the `$record` variable:
```blade theme={"theme":"gruvbox-dark-hard"}
{{ $record->name }}
```
## Accessing the current Livewire component instance in the Blade view
Inside the Blade view, you may access the current Livewire component instance using `$this`:
```blade theme={"theme":"gruvbox-dark-hard"}
@php
use Filament\Resources\Users\RelationManagers\ConferencesRelationManager;
@endphp
@if ($this instanceof ConferencesRelationManager)
You are editing the conferences of a user.
@endif
```
## Accessing the current column instance in the Blade view
Inside the Blade view, you may access the current column instance using `$column`. You can call public methods on this object to access other information that may not be available in variables:
```blade theme={"theme":"gruvbox-dark-hard"}
@if ($column->isLabelHidden())
This is a new conference.
@endif
```
## Adding a configuration method to a custom column class
You may add a public method to the custom column class that accepts a configuration value, stores it in a protected property, and returns it again from another public method:
```php theme={"theme":"gruvbox-dark-hard"}
use Filament\Tables\Columns\Column;
class AudioPlayerColumn extends Column
{
protected string $view = 'filament.tables.columns.audio-player-column';
protected ?float $speed = null;
public function speed(?float $speed): static
{
$this->speed = $speed;
return $this;
}
public function getSpeed(): ?float
{
return $this->speed;
}
}
```
Now, in the Blade view for the custom column, you may access the speed using the `$getSpeed()` function:
```blade theme={"theme":"gruvbox-dark-hard"}
{{ $getSpeed() }}
```
Any public method that you define on the custom column class can be accessed in the Blade view as a variable function in this way.
To pass the configuration value to the custom column class, you may use the public method:
```php theme={"theme":"gruvbox-dark-hard"}
use App\Filament\Tables\Columns\AudioPlayerColumn;
AudioPlayerColumn::make('recording')
->speed(0.5)
```
## Allowing utility injection in a custom column configuration method
[Utility injection](./overview#column-utility-injection) is a powerful feature of Filament that allows users to configure a component using functions that can access various utilities. You can allow utility injection by ensuring that the parameter type and property type of the configuration allows the user to pass a `Closure`. In the getter method, you should pass the configuration value to the `$this->evaluate()` method, which will inject utilities into the user's function if they pass one, or return the value if it is static:
```php theme={"theme":"gruvbox-dark-hard"}
use Closure;
use Filament\Tables\Columns\Column;
class AudioPlayerColumn extends Column
{
protected string $view = 'filament.tables.columns.audio-player-column';
protected float | Closure | null $speed = null;
public function speed(float | Closure | null $speed): static
{
$this->speed = $speed;
return $this;
}
public function getSpeed(): ?float
{
return $this->evaluate($this->speed);
}
}
```
Now, you can pass a static value or a function to the `speed()` method, and [inject any utility](./overview#component-utility-injection) as a parameter:
```php theme={"theme":"gruvbox-dark-hard"}
use App\Filament\Tables\Columns\AudioPlayerColumn;
AudioPlayerColumn::make('recording')
->speed(fn (Conference $record): float => $record->isGlobal() ? 1 : 0.5)
```
)}
