Efforlessly manage your Eloquent model revisions in Filament. It includes:
- A Filament page to show the Diff of what has changed and who changed it
- A list of Revisions by different users
- A Restore action to restore the model to any state

#Installation
You can install the package via composer:
composer require mansoor/filament-versionable
Then, publish the config file and migrations:
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Overtrue\LaravelVersionable\ServiceProvider"
Run the migration command:
php artisan migrate
[!IMPORTANT] If you have not set up a custom theme and are using Filament Panels follow the instructions in the Filament Docs first.
After setting up a custom theme add the plugin's views and css to your theme css file.
@import '../../../../vendor/mansoor/filament-versionable/resources/css/plugin.css';
@source '../../../../vendor/mansoor/filament-versionable/resources/**/*.blade.php';
#Usage
Add Overtrue\LaravelVersionable\Versionable trait to your model and set $versionable attributes.
NOTE: Make sure to add protected $versionStrategy = VersionStrategy::SNAPSHOT; This would save all the $versionable attributes when any of them changed. There are different bug reports on using VersionStrategy::DIFF
use Overtrue\LaravelVersionable\VersionStrategy;
class Post extends Model
{
use Overtrue\LaravelVersionable\Versionable;
protected $versionable = ['title', 'content'];
protected $versionStrategy = VersionStrategy::SNAPSHOT;
}
Create a Revisons Resource page to show Revisions, it should extend the Mansoor\FilamentVersionable\RevisionsPage. If you were to create a Revisions page for ArticleResource, it would look like:
namespace App\Filament\Resources\ArticleResource\Pages;
use App\Filament\Resources\ArticleResource;
use Mansoor\FilamentVersionable\RevisionsPage;
class ArticleRevisions extends RevisionsPage
{
protected static string $resource = ArticleResource::class;
}
Next, Add the ArticleRevisions page (that you just created) to your Resource
use App\Filament\Resources\ArticleResource\Pages;
public static function getPages(): array
{
return [
...
'revisions' => Pages\ArticleRevisions::route('/{record}/revisions'),
];
}
Add RevisionsAction to your edit/view pages, this action would only appear when there are any versions for the model you are viewing/editing.
use Mansoor\FilamentVersionable\Page\RevisionsAction;
protected function getHeaderActions(): array
{
return [
RevisionsAction::make(),
];
}
You can also add the RevisionsAction to your table.
use Mansoor\FilamentVersionable\Table\RevisionsAction;
$table->actions([
RevisionsAction::make(),
]);
You are all set! Your app should store the model states and you can manage them in Filament.
#Customisation
If you want to change the UI for Revisions page, you may publish the publish the views to do so.
php artisan vendor:publish --tag="filament-versionable-views"
If you want more control over how the versions are stored, you may read the Laravel Versionable Docs.
#Strip Tags from Diff
You can easily remove/strip HTML tags from the diff by just overriding shouldStripTags method inside your revisions page.
class ArticleRevisions extends RevisionsPage
{
protected static string $resource = ArticleResource::class;
public function shouldStripTags(): bool
{
return true;
}
}
