Introduction

The text input column allows you to render a text input inside the table, which can be used to update that database record without needing to open a new page or a modal:

Validation

You can validate the input by passing any Laravel validation rules in an array:

Customizing the HTML input type

You may use the type() method to pass a custom HTML input type:

Setting the HTML input mode

You may use the inputMode() method to set the HTML inputmode attribute, which hints at the type of keyboard to show on mobile. For numeric inputs, use inputMode('decimal') for decimal values or inputMode('numeric') for integers:

Setting the numeric step

When using type('number'), you may use the step() method to set the HTML step attribute. Use step('any') for decimal values or step('1') for integers:

Lifecycle hooks

Hooks may be used to execute code at various points within the input’s lifecycle:

Adding affix text aside the field

You may place text before and after the input using the prefix() and suffix() methods:

Using icons as affixes

You may place an icon before and after the input using the prefixIcon() and suffixIcon() methods:

Setting the affix icon’s color

Affix icons are gray by default, but you may set a different color using the prefixIconColor() and suffixIconColor() methods:

Security

Authorization

The text input column does not automatically check Laravel Model Policies before saving changes. When a user updates a value via the text input column, Filament checks whether the column is disabled() but does not run any update policy gate check. This means that if a user can see a record in the table and the column is not disabled, they can update that column’s value regardless of any update policy you have defined. If you need to restrict who can edit this column, you should use the disabled() method to conditionally prevent editing based on your own authorization logic, for example disabled(fn ($record) => $record->user_id !== auth()->id()). Alternatively, consider using a full edit page or modal action where Filament’s resource authorization is enforced.
