#Description
Filament Refresh Sidebar is a lightweight plugin designed to keep your Filament sidebar navigation in sync. It's particularly useful when you have dynamic navigation badges or menu items that depend on database changes, ensuring the sidebar updates automatically without a full page reload.
#Requirements
- PHP 8.2 or higher
- Filament 5.0
#Installation
You can install the package via composer:
composer require jeffersongoncalves/filament-refresh-sidebar
#Usage
Register the plugin in your Filament Panel Provider (typically app/Providers/Filament/AdminPanelProvider.php):
use JeffersonGoncalves\Filament\RefreshSidebar\RefreshSidebarPlugin;
public function panel(Panel $panel): Panel
{
return $panel
// ... other configuration
->plugins([
RefreshSidebarPlugin::make(),
]);
}
#Automatic Refresh
The plugin automatically listens for database notifications via Laravel Echo (if configured) and triggers a sidebar refresh when a new notification is received.
#Manual Refresh
You can also manually trigger a sidebar refresh from any Livewire component by dispatching the refresh-sidebar event:
$this->dispatch('refresh-sidebar');
This is useful for updating navigation badges after custom actions like creating, updating, or deleting records.
#Development
You can run code analysis and formatting using the following commands:
# Run static analysis
composer analyse
# Format code
composer format
