filament-db-config

name

filament-db-config

description

Creates database-backed settings pages and config pages with filament-db-config or db-config package. Activates when creating settings page, config page, configuration page, or when user mentions db-config, db_config, DbConfig, database settings, dynamic configuration, runtime config, storing settings in database. ALWAYS use php artisan make:db-config command to scaffold. NEVER create files manually. NEVER create tests.

Filament DB Config

When to Apply

Activate this skill when:

• Creating settings pages or config pages
• Working with db-config, db_config(), DbConfig
• User mentions database settings, dynamic configuration
• User asks to store configuration in database

Documentation

Use search-docs for Filament form components and patterns. Do NOT rely on training data — always check the installed Filament version documentation.

Critical Workflow

STEP 1: Always scaffold with artisan command first:

php artisan make:db-config HomeSeo --no-interaction

IMPORTANT: Only pass the Name. NEVER add a second argument like "admin" or "panel". The command only takes one argument. This generates app/Filament/Pages/{Name}Settings.php. The generator automatically adds "Settings" suffix.

STEP 2: Edit the generated file to add your fields in the form() method.

NEVER create files manually.

NEVER create tests. Tests are NOT needed for settings pages.

After Scaffolding

Edit the generated page class to customize the form() method:

use Filament\Forms\Components\TextInput; use Filament\Forms\Components\Toggle; use Filament\Schemas\Schema;

public function form(Schema $schema): Schema { return $schema ->components([ TextInput::make('site_name')->label('Site Name'), TextInput::make('contact_email')->label('Contact Email'), Toggle::make('maintenance_mode')->label('Maintenance Mode'), ]) ->statePath('data'); }

Default Values

Override getDefaultData() to pre-fill the form:

public function getDefaultData(): array { return [ 'posts_per_page' => 10, 'allow_comments' => true, ]; }

Reading Values

// Standard helper $siteName = db_config('website.site_name', 'Default');

// Safe helper (for early boot, migrations, service providers) $siteName = safe_db_config('website.site_name', 'Default');

Blade directive:

@db_config('website.site_name', 'Default')

Writing Values

use Inerba\DbConfig\DbConfig;

DbConfig::set('website.site_name', 'Acme Inc.'); $group = DbConfig::getGroup('website');

IMPORTANT: Do NOT Create Tests

Do NOT create any test files for db-config settings pages. Tests are NOT needed and NOT wanted unless the user explicitly asks for them.

Filament Property Types

When setting Filament page properties, always use the correct union types:

protected static string | BackedEnum | null $navigationIcon = 'heroicon-o-cog'; protected static ?string $navigationGroup = 'Settings'; protected static ?int $navigationSort = 10;

NEVER write protected static string $navigationIcon — always include | BackedEnum | null.

Common Mistakes

• NEVER create files manually — always run php artisan make:db-config first
• NEVER create tests — no tests for settings pages unless explicitly requested
• NEVER use config() — always use db_config() helper
• NEVER forget statePath('data') — forms must have ->statePath('data')
• NEVER forget union types — navigationIcon must be string | BackedEnum | null
