Filament Tip: Edit Modal SlideOver

In Filament simple resources, you can edit the record in a modal window. Did you know there's a way to show that modal not in the center of the screen, but sliding out from the right side? In this short tutorial, I will show you how.

First, your Filament Resource needs to be a Simple Resource. To create it just pass the --simple option.

php artisan make:filament-resource Task --simple

Now, you would add an Action to Edit/Delete the record, right? So, for every action, you can add slideOver() to change how the modal looks.

app/Filament/Resources/TaskResource.php:

class TaskResource extends Resource
{
    public static function table(Table $table): Table
    {
        return $table
            ->columns([
                Tables\Columns\TextColumn::make('title'),
                Tables\Columns\TextColumn::make('created_at')
                    ->dateTime(),
            ])
            ->actions([
                Tables\Actions\EditAction::make()
                    ->slideOver(), 
                Tables\Actions\DeleteAction::make(),
            ]);
    }
}
