#Installation

Add the repository to your composer.json:

{
  "repositories": [
    {
      "type": "composer",
      "url": "https://filament-decision-tables.composer.sh"
    }
  ],
}

Once the repository has been added to the composer.json file, you can install Filament Decision Tables like any other composer package using the composer require command:

composer require leek/filament-decision-tables

You will be prompted to provide your username and password.

Loading composer repositories with package information
Authentication required (filament-decision-tables.composer.sh):
Username: [licensee-email]
Password: [license-key]

The username will be your email address and the password will be equal to your license key. Additionally, you will need to append your fingerprint to your license key. For example, let's say we have the following licensee and license activation:

• Contact email: philo@anystack.sh
• License key: 8c21df8f-6273-4932-b4ba-8bcc723ef500
• Activation fingerprint: anystack.sh

This will require you to enter the following information when prompted for your credentials:

Loading composer repositories with package information
Authentication required (filament-decision-tables.composer.sh):
Username: philo@anystack.sh
Password: 8c21df8f-6273-4932-b4ba-8bcc723ef500:anystack.sh

To clarify, the license key and fingerprint should be separated by a colon (:).

Run the installation command:

php artisan filament-decision-tables:install

This will:

• Publish the configuration file
• Publish and run migrations

Alternatively, you can manually publish the config and migrations:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="filament-decision-tables-config"
php artisan vendor:publish --tag="filament-decision-tables-migrations"
php artisan migrate

Optionally, you can publish the views:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="filament-decision-tables-views"

#Configuration

The published config file (config/filament-decision-tables.php) contains the following options:

return [
    // Customize the model classes if you need to extend them
    'models' => [
        'decision_table_rule'  => Leek\FilamentDecisionTables\Models\DecisionTableRule::class,
        'decision_table_row'   => Leek\FilamentDecisionTables\Models\DecisionTableRow::class,
        'decision_table_field' => Leek\FilamentDecisionTables\Models\DecisionTableField::class,
    ],
 
    // API configuration
    'api' => [
        // Enable or disable Sanctum authentication for API endpoints
        'require_sanctum_auth' => env('DECISION_TABLES_REQUIRE_SANCTUM_AUTH', true),
 
        // Rate limiting (requests per minute)
        'rate_limit' => env('DECISION_TABLES_RATE_LIMIT', '60,1'),
    ],
 
    // Multi-tenancy configuration
    'tenancy' => [
        // Enable or disable multi-tenancy support
        'enabled' => env('DECISION_TABLES_TENANCY_ENABLED', false),
 
        // The column name used for tenant identification
        'column' => env('DECISION_TABLES_TENANCY_COLUMN', 'tenant_id'),
 
        // The tenant model (optional, for reference)
        'model' => env('DECISION_TABLES_TENANT_MODEL', 'App\\Models\\Team'),
    ],
];

#Usage

#Register the Plugin

In your Panel Provider (e.g., app/Providers/Filament/AdminPanelProvider.php):

use Leek\FilamentDecisionTables\DecisionTablesPlugin;
 
public function panel(Panel $panel): Panel
{
    return $panel
        // ...
        ->plugin(DecisionTablesPlugin::make());
}

#Integrate into Theme

[!IMPORTANT] Filament v4 requires you to create a custom theme to support a plugin's additional Tailwind classes. Be sure to follow those instructions before continuing with this step.

After you have created your custom theme, add this plugin's views to your new theme's theme.css file usually located in resources/css/filament/{panel}/theme.css:

@source '../../../../app/Filament';
@source '../../../../resources/views/filament';
@source '../../../../vendor/leek/filament-decision-tables'; // Add this

Next, compile your theme:

npm run build

Finally, run the Filament upgrade command:

php artisan filament:upgrade

#Creating a Decision Rule

1. Navigate to Decision Rules in your Filament panel

2. Click New Decision Rule

3. Fill in the basic information:

   • Name: A human-readable name for your rule
   • Slug: Used to reference this rule in code/API (auto-generated from name, but editable)
   • Description: Optional description of what this rule does
   • Active: Only active rules can be executed

4. Define your Request Schema (inputs):

   • Add fields that will be provided when executing the rule
   • Configure each field:
     • Field Name: Used in code (e.g., customer_age)
     • Field Label: Human-readable label
     • Field Type: string, number, boolean, or date
     • Required: Whether the field must be provided
     • Description: Optional field description
     • Validation Rules: Additional Laravel validation rules
     • Default Value: Optional default value

5. Define your Response Schema (outputs):

   • Add fields that will be returned after rule execution
   • Configure the same properties as request fields

6. Build your Decision Table:

   • Add rows with conditions and outputs
   • Each row has:
     • Priority: Lower numbers are evaluated first
     • Conditions: Define when this row matches
     • Outputs: Values to return when conditions match
     • Active: Enable/disable the row
   • The first row where all conditions match will be used

#Condition Operators

The following operators are available for defining conditions:

[!NOTE] Empty condition values are treated as "any" and will always match.

#Executing Rules via PHP

Use the DecisionTables facade to execute rules in your Laravel application:

use Leek\FilamentDecisionTables\Facades\DecisionTables;
 
$result = DecisionTables::evaluate('customer-discount', [
    'customer_age' => 25,
    'account_type' => 'premium',
    'purchase_amount' => 150,
]);
 
// Result structure:
// [
//     'success' => true,
//     'output' => ['discount_percentage' => 15, 'free_shipping' => true],
//     'error' => null,
//     'matched_row_id' => 5
// ]
 
if ($result['success']) {
    $discount = $result['output']['discount_percentage'];
    $freeShipping = $result['output']['free_shipping'];
    // Apply the discount...
} else {
    // Handle error: $result['error']
}

#Executing Rules via API

The plugin provides a REST API endpoint for evaluating decision rules:

POST /api/decision-tables/{slug}/evaluate
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_SANCTUM_TOKEN
Content-Type: application/json
 
{
    "customer_age": 25,
    "account_type": "premium",
    "purchase_amount": 150
}

Success response (200):

{
    "success": true,
    "data": {
        "discount_percentage": 15,
        "free_shipping": true
    },
    "meta": {
        "matched_row_id": 5
    }
}

Error response (404):

{
    "success": false,
    "error": "Decision rule 'customer-discount' not found or is inactive"
}

[!NOTE] By default, the API endpoint requires authentication via Laravel Sanctum and includes rate limiting (60 requests per minute). Both can be configured in the config file or via environment variables:

DECISION_TABLES_REQUIRE_SANCTUM_AUTH=false  # Disable Sanctum authentication
DECISION_TABLES_RATE_LIMIT=120,1            # Allow 120 requests per minute

#Multi-Tenancy

If you're building a multi-tenant application, you can enable tenant scoping:

1. Set the environment variables in your .env:

DECISION_TABLES_TENANCY_ENABLED=true
DECISION_TABLES_TENANCY_COLUMN=tenant_id
DECISION_TABLES_TENANT_MODEL=App\Models\Team

2. Make sure your migration includes the tenant column (already included in the published migration)

3. The plugin will automatically scope all queries to the current tenant using Filament's tenant context

All decision table rules, fields, and rows will be automatically scoped to the tenant, ensuring complete data isolation.

#Practical Examples

Request Schema:

• customer_type (string): Type of customer
• order_total (number): Total order amount
• is_first_purchase (boolean): First time customer

Response Schema:

• discount_percentage (number): Discount to apply
• discount_reason (string): Reason for discount

Decision Table:

#Example 2: Loan Approval System

Request Schema:

• credit_score (number): Applicant's credit score
• annual_income (number): Annual income
• employment_years (number): Years employed
• existing_loans (number): Number of existing loans

Response Schema:

• approved (boolean): Loan approval status
• max_loan_amount (number): Maximum loan amount
• interest_rate (number): Interest rate percentage
• reason (string): Approval/rejection reason

Decision Table:

#Example 3: Shipping Cost Calculator

Request Schema:

• weight_kg (number): Package weight
• is_express (boolean): Express shipping

Response Schema:

• shipping_cost (number): Shipping cost
• estimated_days (number): Delivery time
• carrier (string): Shipping carrier

Execute this rule:

$result = DecisionTables::evaluate('shipping-calculator', [
    'destination_country' => 'USA',
    'weight_kg' => 2.5,
    'is_express' => true,
]);
 
echo "Cost: $" . $result['output']['shipping_cost'];
echo "Delivery: " . $result['output']['estimated_days'] . " days";
echo "Carrier: " . $result['output']['carrier'];
