Resource API Generator

Generate JSON APIs from your Filament resources with a single line of code.

Version Compatibility

Installation

The APIs list page keeps the generated endpoints in an in-memory SQLite table, so the pdo_sqlite PHP extension is required.

composer require tomatophp/filament-api
php artisan filament-api:install

To list the generated endpoints in your panel, register the plugin in /app/Providers/Filament/AdminPanelProvider.php:

->plugin(\TomatoPHP\FilamentApi\FilamentAPIPlugin::make())

The endpoints use the auth:sanctum middleware by default. Install Laravel Sanctum (php artisan install:api) or change default_middleware in config/filament-api.php.

Usage

Add the trait to your resource pages:

use Filament\Resources\Pages\ListRecords;
use TomatoPHP\FilamentApi\Traits\InteractWithAPI;

class ListPosts extends ListRecords
{
    use InteractWithAPI;
}

That's it, the API is available under /api/{slug}. Each page type adds its endpoints:

• The list returns the visible columns of the resource table, searches its searchable columns and uses its default sort. Relationship columns such as author.name are eager loaded and searchable.
• Create and update validate the request with the rules of every field of the resource form (fields inside sections, tabs and grids included) and save only the form fields.
• Queries go through the resource getEloquentQuery(), so scopes, soft deletes and tenancy filters apply.
• When the model has a policy, the viewAny, view, create, update and delete abilities are checked for the API user.
• The routes point at a controller, so php artisan route:cache works.

Responses look like {"status": "success", "message": "OK", "data": ...}; errors return {"status": "error", "message": "..."} with the status code (404, 403, and 422 with an errors object for validation).

Customize your API

Override these methods on the page:

// Return a JSON resource from the list, show, store and update endpoints
public static function getFilamentAPIResource(): ?string
{
    return PostResource::class;
}

// The middleware of the endpoints
public static function getFilamentAPIMiddleware(): array
{
    return ['auth:sanctum'];
}

// The endpoint slug, defaults to the resource slug
public static function getFilamentAPISlug(): ?string
{
    return 'articles';
}

// The form used to validate and save the store and update endpoints
public static function getFilamentAPIForm(Schema $schema): Schema
{
    return static::getResource()::form($schema);
}

// The table used to shape the list endpoint
public static function getFilamentAPITable(Table $table): Table
{
    return static::getResource()::table($table);
}
