Select column

Overview​

The select column allows you to render a select field inside the table, which can be used to update that database record without needing to open a new page or a modal.

You must pass options to the column:

use Filament\Tables\Columns\SelectColumn;

SelectColumn::make('status')
    ->options([
        'draft' => 'Draft',
        'reviewing' => 'Reviewing',
        'published' => 'Published',
    ])
Select column

Validation​

You can validate the input by passing any Laravel validation rules in an array:

use Filament\Tables\Columns\SelectColumn;

SelectColumn::make('status')
    ->options([
        'draft' => 'Draft',
        'reviewing' => 'Reviewing',
        'published' => 'Published',
    ])
    ->rules(['required'])

Disabling placeholder selection​

You can prevent the placeholder from being selected using the selectablePlaceholder() method:

use Filament\Tables\Columns\SelectColumn;

SelectColumn::make('status')
    ->options([
        'draft' => 'Draft',
        'reviewing' => 'Reviewing',
        'published' => 'Published',
    ])
    ->selectablePlaceholder(false)

Lifecycle hooks​

Hooks may be used to execute code at various points within the select's lifecycle:

SelectColumn::make()
    ->beforeStateUpdated(function ($record, $state) {
        // Runs before the state is saved to the database.
    })
    ->afterStateUpdated(function ($record, $state) {
        // Runs after the state is saved to the database.
    })
