#About FilaKit

FilaKit is a robust starter kit built on Laravel 13.x and Filament 5.x, designed to accelerate the development of modern web applications with a ready-to-use multi-panel structure.

#Features

• Laravel 13.x - The latest version of the most elegant PHP framework
• Filament 5.x - Powerful and flexible admin framework
• Multi-Panel Structure - Includes three pre-configured panels:
  • Admin Panel (/admin) - For system administrators
  • App Panel (/app) - For authenticated application users
  • Public Panel (frontend interface) - For visitors
• Environment Configuration - Centralized configuration through the config/filakit.php file

#System Requirements

• PHP 8.3 or higher
• Composer
• Node.js and PNPM

#Installation

Clone the repository

laravel new my-app --using=jeffersongoncalves/filakitv5 --database=mysql

#Using FilaKit CLI

Or use FilaKit CLI for a simplified setup:

filakit new my-app --kit=jeffersongoncalves/filakitv5

Install FilaKit CLI: composer global require jeffersongoncalves/filakit-cli

#Easy Installation

FilaKit can be easily installed using the following command:

php install.php

This command automates the installation process by:

• Installing Composer dependencies
• Setting up the environment file
• Generating application key
• Setting up the database
• Running migrations
• Installing Node.js dependencies
• Building assets
• Configuring Herd (if used)

#Manual Installation

Install JavaScript dependencies

pnpm install

Install Composer dependencies

composer install

Set up environment

cp .env.example .env
php artisan key:generate

Configure your database in the .env file

Run migrations

php artisan migrate

Run the server

php artisan serve

#Installation with Docker

Clone the repository

laravel new my-app --using=jeffersongoncalves/filakitv5 --database=mysql

Move into the project directory

cd my-app

Install Composer dependencies

composer install

Set up environment

cp .env.example .env

Configuring custom ports may be necessary if you have other services running on the same ports.

# Application Port (ex: 8080)
APP_PORT=8080

# MySQL Port (ex: 3306)
FORWARD_DB_PORT=3306

# Redis Port (ex: 6379)
FORWARD_REDIS_PORT=6379

# Mailpit Port (ex: 1025)
FORWARD_MAILPIT_PORT=1025

Start the Sail containers

./vendor/bin/sail up -d

You won’t need to run php artisan serve, as Laravel Sail automatically handles the development server within the container.

Attach to the application container

./vendor/bin/sail shell

Generate the application key

php artisan key:generate

Install JavaScript dependencies

pnpm install

#Authentication Structure

FilaKit comes pre-configured with a custom authentication system that supports different types of users:

• Admin - For administrative panel access
• User - For application panel access

#Development

# Run the development server with logs, queues and asset compilation
composer dev

# Or run each component separately
php artisan serve
php artisan queue:listen --tries=1
pnpm run dev

#Customization

#Panel Configuration

Panels can be customized through their respective providers:

• app/Providers/Filament/AdminPanelProvider.php
• app/Providers/Filament/AppPanelProvider.php
• app/Providers/Filament/PublicPanelProvider.php

Alternatively, these settings are also consolidated in the config/filakit.php file for easier management.

#Themes and Colors

Each panel can have its own color scheme, which can be easily modified in the corresponding Provider files or in the filakit.php configuration file.

#Configuration File

The config/filakit.php file centralizes the configuration of the starter kit, including:

• Panel routes
• Middleware for each panel
• Branding options (logo, colors)
• Authentication guards

#User Profile — joaopaulolndev/filament-edit-profile

This project already comes with the Filament Edit Profile plugin integrated for the Admin and App panels. It adds a complete profile editing page with avatar, language, theme color, security (tokens, MFA), browser sessions, and email/password change.

• Routes (defaults in this project):
  • Admin: /admin/my-profile
  • App: /app/my-profile
• Navigation: by default, the page does not appear in the menu (shouldRegisterNavigation(false)). If you want to show it in the sidebar menu, change it to true in the panel provider.

Where to configure

• Panel providers

  • Admin: app/Providers/Filament/AdminPanelProvider.php
  • App: app/Providers/Filament/AppPanelProvider.php In these files you can adjust:
  • ->slug('my-profile') to change the URL (e.g., 'profile')
  • ->setTitle('My Profile') and ->setNavigationLabel('My Profile')
  • ->setNavigationGroup('Group Profile'), ->setIcon('heroicon-o-user'), ->setSort(10)
  • ->shouldRegisterNavigation(true|false) to show/hide it in the menu
  • Shown forms: ->shouldShowEmailForm(), ->shouldShowLocaleForm([...]), ->shouldShowThemeColorForm(), ->shouldShowSanctumTokens(), ->shouldShowMultiFactorAuthentication(), ->shouldShowBrowserSessionsForm(), ->shouldShowAvatarForm()

• General settings: config/filament-edit-profile.php

  • locales: language options available on the profile page
  • locale_column: column used in your model for language/locale (default: locale)
  • theme_color_column: column for theme color (default: theme_color)
  • avatar_column: avatar column (default: avatar_url)
  • disk: storage disk used for the avatar (default: public)
  • visibility: file visibility (default: public)

Migrations and models

• The required columns are already included in this kit’s default migrations (users and admins): avatar_url, locale and theme_color, using the names defined in config/filament-edit-profile.php.
• The App\Models\User and App\Models\Admin models already read the avatar using the plugin configuration (getFilamentAvatarUrl).

Avatar storage

• Make sure the filesystem disk is configured and that the storage link exists: php artisan storage:link
• Adjust the disk and visibility in the config file according to your infrastructure.

Quick access

• Via direct URL: /admin/my-profile or /app/my-profile
• To make it visible in the sidebar navigation, set shouldRegisterNavigation(true) in the respective Provider.
