Filament Table Inline Filters

Add per-cell include (=) and exclude (!=) filters to Filament tables, similar to Grafana-style column filters. Active filters appear as badges next to native Filament filter indicators, support URL persistence (?ilf=…), and ship with Filament assets (JS/CSS) registered automatically.

Requirements

• PHP 8.2+
• Filament v4 or v5 (filament/filament)
• Laravel 11 / 12 / 13 (as supported by your Filament version)
• Livewire v3 or v4

Installation

Install via Composer (after the package is published on Packagist, or via a VCS/repository entry in your composer.json):

composer require cyberline/filament-table-inline-filters

Laravel auto-discovers FilamentTableInlineFiltersServiceProvider. No manual registration is required unless you disabled package discovery.

Filament loads plugin assets when your panel uses the default Filament asset pipeline. If you customize asset loading, ensure Filament’s asset registration for third-party packages is unchanged.

Optional publishes

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=filament-table-inline-filters-config
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=filament-table-inline-filters-views
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=filament-table-inline-filters-lang

Quick start

1. Use the trait on your table Livewire page

Your ListRecords (or any page that uses HasTable) must use HasInlineFilters:

<?php

namespace App\Filament\Resources\Users\Pages;

use App\Filament\Resources\Users\UserResource;
use Cyberline\FilamentTableInlineFilters\Concerns\HasInlineFilters;
use Filament\Resources\Pages\ListRecords;

class ListUsers extends ListRecords
{
    use HasInlineFilters;

    protected static string $resource = UserResource::class;
}

2. Enable inline filters on columns

In your resource’s table() definition, chain ->inlineFilter() on any column that should show + / − actions:

use Filament\Tables\Columns\TextColumn;
use Filament\Tables\Table;

public static function table(Table $table): Table
{
    return $table
        ->columns([
            TextColumn::make('firstname')
                ->label('First name')
                ->inlineFilter(),

            TextColumn::make('lastname')
                ->label('Last name')
                ->inlineFilter(),
        ]);
}

The column name passed to the query is Filament’s column name (e.g. firstname), which maps to your model attribute or accessor.

Inline filters are implemented only for TextColumn (not BadgeColumn, TagsColumn, or other column types). Subclasses of TextColumn throw a clear LogicException at runtime.

3. Clear all filters (native + inline)

The package registers a removeTableFiltersWithInline() method on components that use HasInlineFilters. The default chip UI calls it for “remove all filters” so inline filters are cleared together with table filters.

If you add a custom action, you can call:

$this->removeTableFiltersWithInline();

Column API

Basic

TextColumn::make('email')->inlineFilter();

Optional visibility (per row)

TextColumn::make('role')
    ->inlineFilter(fn () => auth()->user()?->can('filterByRole'));

Or use a closure with the record:

TextColumn::make('status')
    ->inlineFilter(fn ($record) => $record->status !== 'archived');

Align actions to the right

TextColumn::make('amount')
    ->inlineFilter()
    ->inlineFilterAlignRight();

Custom icons (plus / minus)

Uses Filament icon names or BackedEnum icon enums:

use Filament\Support\Icons\Heroicon;

TextColumn::make('city')
    ->inlineFilter()
    ->inlineFilterIconPlus(Heroicon::OutlinedPlusCircle)
    ->inlineFilterIconMinus(Heroicon::OutlinedMinusCircle);

Icons can also be closures evaluated in column context (same as Filament column evaluate()).

Icon button colors (plus / minus)

Defaults come from config('filament-table-inline-filters.icons.plus_color') and minus_color (success and danger). Allowed values: primary, success, danger, warning, info, gray.

TextColumn::make('name')
    ->inlineFilter()
    ->inlineFilterPlusColor('primary')
    ->inlineFilterMinusColor('gray');

Passing no argument (or null) uses the config default for that side. BackedEnum values are cast to string (same as icon enums).

Relationship columns

Use dot notation for a single relation path. The package applies whereHas / whereDoesntHave with null-safe != on the leaf attribute:

TextColumn::make('team.name')
    ->label('Team')
    ->inlineFilter();

Configuration

After publishing config/filament-table-inline-filters.php:

Key	Purpose
icons.plus / icons.minus	Default Heroicons for chip badges
icons.plus_color / icons.minus_color	Semantic colors for table +/- buttons (success / danger by default)
icons.size	IconSize for chips
chip.color	Filament badge color
chip.equals_format / chip.not_equals_format	Placeholders :label and :value

Example:

'chip' => [
    'equals_format' => ':label is :value',
    'not_equals_format' => ':label is not :value',
],

URL persistence

HasInlineFilters exposes a public $inlineFilters array serialized to the query string as ilf (Livewire #[Url]). Users can bookmark or share filtered table URLs; browser back/forward updates filters when history is enabled.

Security notes

• Only column names matching ^[a-zA-Z0-9_.]+$ are applied to the query.
• Operators are restricted to = and !=.
• Values come from the rendered cell state (JSON-encoded in the DOM); treat this like any client-supplied filter: rely on authorization and policies on the listing query.
