        'dumps' => true,

    ],
];

#Usage

#Register the Plugin

In your Filament panel provider (typically app/Providers/Filament/AdminPanelProvider.php):

use Lancodev\FilamentMeilisearch\MeilisearchPlugin;

public function panel(Panel $panel): Panel
{
    return $panel
        // ...
        ->plugins([
            MeilisearchPlugin::make()
                ->navigationGroup('Search')
                ->navigationIcon('heroicon-o-magnifying-glass')
                ->navigationSort(10)
                ->features([
                    'indexes' => true,
                    'documents' => true,
                    'keys' => true,
                    'tasks' => true,
                    'dumps' => true,
                    'snapshots' => true,
                    'settings' => true,
                ]),
        ]);
}

#Customizing Features

You can enable or disable specific features:

MeilisearchPlugin::make()
    ->features([
        'indexes' => true,
        'documents' => true,
        'keys' => false,      // Disable API keys management
        'tasks' => true,
        'dumps' => false,     // Disable dumps
        'snapshots' => false, // Disable snapshots
        'settings' => true,
    ])

#Limiting Visible Indexes

By default, all indexes in your Meilisearch instance are shown. You can restrict which indexes are visible in the admin panel:

Via the plugin registration:

MeilisearchPlugin::make()
    ->allowedIndexes(['products', 'users', 'orders']);

Via the config file:

// config/filament-meilisearch.php
'allowed_indexes' => ['products', 'users', 'orders'],

Via the .env file:

FILAMENT_MEILISEARCH_ALLOWED_INDEXES=products,users,orders

When set, only the listed indexes will appear in the Dashboard, Indexes, and API Keys pages. Set to null (or omit) to show all indexes.

#Security

Important: Ensure your Meilisearch instance is properly secured. This plugin requires a Meilisearch API key with appropriate permissions. We recommend:

• Using environment variables for sensitive configuration
• Restricting access to the Meilisearch admin panel to authorized users only
• Using Meilisearch's built-in API key management for granular permissions
• Never committing API keys to version control
