Grouping actions
Overview
You may group actions together into a dropdown menu by using an ActionGroup
object. Groups may contain many actions, or other groups:
ActionGroup::make([
Action::make('view'),
Action::make('edit'),
Action::make('delete'),
])
This page is about customizing the look of the group's trigger button and dropdown.
Customizing the group trigger style
The button which opens the dropdown may be customized in the same way as a normal action. All the methods available for trigger buttons may be used to customize the group trigger button:
use Filament\Support\Enums\ActionSize;
ActionGroup::make([
// Array of actions
])
->label('More actions')
->icon('heroicon-m-ellipsis-vertical')
->size(ActionSize::Small)
->color('primary')
->button()
Setting the placement of the dropdown
The dropdown may be positioned relative to the trigger button by using the dropdownPlacement()
method:
ActionGroup::make([
// Array of actions
])
->dropdownPlacement('top-start')
Adding dividers between actions
You may add dividers between groups of actions by using nested ActionGroup
objects:
ActionGroup::make([
ActionGroup::make([
// Array of actions
])->dropdown(false),
// Array of actions
])
The dropdown(false)
method puts the actions inside the parent dropdown, instead of a new nested dropdown.
Setting the width of the dropdown
The dropdown may be set to a width by using the dropdownWidth()
method. Options correspond to Tailwind's max-width scale. The options are ExtraSmall
, Small
, Medium
, Large
, ExtraLarge
, TwoExtraLarge
, ThreeExtraLarge
, FourExtraLarge
, FiveExtraLarge
, SixExtraLarge
and SevenExtraLarge
:
use Filament\Support\Enums\MaxWidth;
ActionGroup::make([
// Array of actions
])
->dropdownWidth(MaxWidth::ExtraSmall)
Controlling the maximum height of the dropdown
The dropdown content can have a maximum height using the maxHeight()
method, so that it scrolls. You can pass a CSS length:
ActionGroup::make([
// Array of actions
])
->maxHeight('400px')
Controlling the dropdown offset
You may control the offset of the dropdown using the dropdownOffset()
method, by default the offset is set to 8
.
ActionGroup::make([
// Array of actions
])
->dropdownOffset(16)
