A production-ready, highly architecture-focused reusable Filament Settings plugin powered by spatie/laravel-settings. Built specifically for modern Filament v5 and Laravel applications.

#Features

• ⚙️ Single Filament Settings Page: Clean, unified navigation page with persisable tabs in URL query strings.
• 🧩 Built-in Default Tabs: Includes pre-configured General Settings, Social Links (with dynamic repeaters), and Static Pages (Privacy Policy, Terms, About).
• 🗂️ Nested Sub-Tabs: Support for main tabs, nested sub-tabs, and dynamic dynamic child registration.
• 🌐 Multilingual/Locale Tabs: Sub-tabs can be marked translatable, automatically rendering tabbed interfaces for each configured locale with RTL support.
• 💾 Spatie Laravel Settings Integration: Strictly powered by spatie/laravel-settings with type-safe setting classes and database migrations.
• 🛡️ Optional Shield Integration: Seamless permission resolution using bezhansalleh/filament-shield without hardcoding dependencies.
• 🚀 Artisan Generators: Easily generate tabs, sub-tabs, static pages, settings classes, and migrations using php artisan make:settings-tab, make:settings-sub-tab, and make:settings-page.
• 🔍 Automatic Discovery: Automatically discovers tabs and sub-tabs from your app/Filament/Settings/Tabs directory.
• 🔌 External Package Registration: Third-party packages can register custom settings tabs via Service Providers.

#Installation

You can install the package via composer (spatie/laravel-settings will be automatically installed as a dependency):

composer require islamv/filament-settings-plugin

Publish and run the Spatie Settings & Plugin migrations:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Spatie\LaravelSettings\LaravelSettingsServiceProvider"
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Islamv\FilamentSettingsPlugin\FilamentSettingsServiceProvider"
php artisan migrate

#Registration in Panel

Register FilamentSettingsPlugin in your Filament Panel Provider (e.g. AdminPanelProvider.php):

use Islamv\FilamentSettingsPlugin\FilamentSettingsPlugin;

public function panel(Panel $panel): Panel
{
    return $panel
        // ...
        ->plugins([
            FilamentSettingsPlugin::make(),
        ]);
}

#Configuration

The plugin configuration file config/filament-settings.php allows you to customize navigation, locales, file upload disk, and discovery behavior:

return [
    'navigation' => [
        'label' => 'Settings',
        'icon'  => 'heroicon-o-cog-6-tooth',
        'group' => null,
        'sort'  => 100,
    ],

    'locales' => [
        'en' => ['label' => 'English', 'direction' => 'ltr'],
        'ar' => ['label' => 'Arabic',  'direction' => 'rtl'],
    ],

    'uploads' => [
        'disk'      => env('FILAMENT_SETTINGS_DISK', 'public'),
        'directory' => env('FILAMENT_SETTINGS_DIRECTORY', 'settings'),
    ],

    'discovery' => [
        'enabled'   => true,
        'path'      => null, // defaults to app/Filament/Settings/Tabs
        'namespace' => null, // defaults to App\Filament\Settings\Tabs
    ],
];

#Usage & Tab Management

#Fluent API Customization

In your PanelProvider:

FilamentSettingsPlugin::make()
    ->useShield(true) // Enable Filament Shield permission checks
    ->withoutDefaultTabs() // Disable built-in General, Social, Static Pages tabs
    ->removeTab('social-links') // Remove a specific tab
    ->locales([
        'en' => ['label' => 'English', 'direction' => 'ltr'],
        'ar' => ['label' => 'Arabic', 'direction' => 'rtl'],
        'fr' => ['label' => 'French', 'direction' => 'ltr'],
    ])
    ->tab(PaymentSettingsTab::make()) // Register custom tab manually
    ->subTab('static-pages', ContactUsSubTab::make()); // Register sub-tab under existing tab

#Artisan Scaffolding Generators

#1. Generate a Main Tab

Creates a main Settings Tab along with a Spatie Settings class and database migration.

php artisan make:settings-tab Payment --sort=40 --icon=heroicon-o-credit-card

#2. Generate a Sub-Tab

Creates a sub-tab nested under a parent tab.

php artisan make:settings-sub-tab Stripe --parent=payment --sort=10

#3. Generate a Static Page

Creates a translatable static page sub-tab under the built-in static-pages main tab.

php artisan make:settings-page RefundPolicy --sort=40

#Automatic Discovery Convention

When automatic discovery is enabled, tabs are automatically loaded based on folder structure:

app/Filament/Settings/Tabs/
├── PaymentSettingsTab.php            <-- Main Tab
└── Payment/
    ├── StripeSettingsSubTab.php      <-- Sub-Tab under 'payment'
    └── PaypalSettingsSubTab.php      <-- Sub-Tab under 'payment'

#Shield & Authorization

When Shield integration is enabled (->useShield(true)), permission keys follow this convention:

• Settings Page: page_settings
• Main Tab: page_settings_{tab_key} (e.g. page_settings_general, page_settings_payment)
• Sub-Tab: page_settings_{parent_key}_{subtab_key} (e.g. page_settings_static_pages_privacy_policy)

#Third-Party Package Registration

External packages can register settings tabs in their ServiceProvider boot() method:

use Islamv\FilamentSettingsPlugin\Registry\SettingsRegistry;

public function boot(): void
{
    $registry = app(SettingsRegistry::class);
    $registry->register(MyPackageSettingsTab::make());
}
