Getting started
Overview
Infolists are not limited to just displaying entries. You can also use "layout components" to organize them into an infinitely nestable structure.
Layout component classes can be found in the Filament\Infolists\Components
namespace. They reside within the schema of your infolist, alongside any entries.
Components may be created using the static make()
method. Usually, you will then define the child component schema()
to display inside:
use Filament\Infolists\Components\Grid;
Grid::make(2)
->schema([
// ...
])
Available layout components
Filament ships with some layout components, suitable for arranging your form fields depending on your needs:
You may also create your own custom layout components to organize fields in whatever way you wish.
Setting an ID
You may define an ID for the component using the id()
method:
use Filament\Infolists\Components\Section;
Section::make()
->id('main-section')
Adding extra HTML attributes
You can pass extra HTML attributes to the component, which will be merged onto the outer DOM element. Pass an array of attributes to the extraAttributes()
method, where the key is the attribute name and the value is the attribute value:
use Filament\Infolists\Components\Group;
Section::make()
->extraAttributes(['class' => 'custom-section-style'])
Classes will be merged with the default classes, and any other attributes will override the default attributes.
Global settings
If you wish to change the default behaviour of a component globally, then you can call the static configureUsing()
method inside a service provider's boot()
method, to which you pass a Closure to modify the component using. For example, if you wish to make all section components have 2 columns by default, you can do it like so:
use Filament\Infolists\Components\Section;
Section::configureUsing(function (Section $section): void {
$section
->columns(2);
});
Of course, you are still able to overwrite this on each field individually:
use Filament\Infolists\Components\Section;
Section::make()
->columns(1)
