A Filament form component that displays repeater items in a compact table with modal-based editing. Perfect for forms with many fields where inline editing becomes cluttered.
#Requirements
- PHP 8.2+
- Filament v4 or v5
#Installation
You can install the package via composer:
composer require yousefaman/filament-modal-repeater
#Setup
Register the plugin in your panel provider (optional but recommended):
use YousefAman\ModalRepeater\ModalRepeaterPlugin;
public function panel(Panel $panel): Panel
{
return $panel
->plugin(ModalRepeaterPlugin::make());
}
#Usage
use YousefAman\ModalRepeater\ModalRepeater;
use YousefAman\ModalRepeater\Column;
use Filament\Forms\Components\TextInput;
use Filament\Forms\Components\Select;
use Filament\Forms\Components\Toggle;
ModalRepeater::make('items')
->tableColumns([
Column::make('name')->label('Name'),
Column::make('price')->money('USD'),
Column::make('active')->boolean(),
])
->schema([
TextInput::make('name')->required(),
TextInput::make('price')->numeric()->required(),
Toggle::make('active'),
])
Items are listed in a table. Clicking a row or the edit button opens a modal with the full form schema. Adding a new item also opens the same modal.
#Column Types
Columns define how each field is displayed in the summary table.
// Custom label
Column::make('name')->label('Product Name'),
// Boolean — renders a checkmark/cross icon
Column::make('active')->boolean(),
// Badge — renders a colored badge using the value
Column::make('status')->badge('success'),
// Money — formats the value as a currency amount
Column::make('price')->money('USD'),
// Custom formatter
Column::make('created_at')->formatUsing(fn ($value) => $value->diffForHumans()),
// Fixed column width
Column::make('name')->width('200px'),
#Modal Configuration
Control the modal layout independently from the table:
ModalRepeater::make('items')
->modalColumns(3) // Number of columns in the modal form grid
->modalWidth('4xl') // Tailwind modal max-width (e.g. 'sm', 'lg', '4xl', '7xl')
#Relationships
Use relationship() to bind the repeater to an Eloquent relationship. Filament handles loading, saving, and deleting related records automatically.
ModalRepeater::make('addresses')
->relationship('addresses')
->tableColumns([
Column::make('street')->label('Street'),
Column::make('city')->label('City'),
Column::make('postcode')->label('Postcode'),
])
->schema([
TextInput::make('street')->required(),
TextInput::make('city')->required(),
TextInput::make('postcode'),
])
#Customizing Actions
The component inherits Filament's standard repeater action API.
ModalRepeater::make('items')
// Change the label on the "Add" button
->addActionLabel('Add Item')
// Customize the edit action
->editAction(
fn (Action $action) => $action->label('Edit')->icon('heroicon-o-pencil')
)
// Append additional per-row actions
->extraItemActions([
Action::make('duplicate')->action(fn ($arguments) => ...),
])
// Text shown when the list is empty
->emptyLabel('No items added yet.')
// Allow rows to be reordered via drag-and-drop
->reorderable()
// Allow rows to be cloned
->cloneable()
// Prevent deletion
->deletable(false)
