How it works

The main logic here is split into two parts - one for Filament and another for a custom user-facing design:

  • Filament
    • Basic Categories, Tags management
    • Users resource with an avatar field
    • Post management with a WYSIWYG editor
    • Post excerpt generation with a custom excerpt field and an action
    • Post slug support with automatic generation
    • Multi-tag support for posts
    • Featured image upload with dimension validation
  • User Facing Design - Blog
    • We have a list of blog posts
    • There is an ability to filter out blog posts by categories
    • There is a single post-preview
    • Single post preview supports embedded images and HTML content from the Filament editor
    • There is an author display on the single post preview

Here's what that looks like in our code:

app/Filament/Resources/UserResource.php

public static function form(Form $form): Form
{
return $form
->schema([
Forms\Components\TextInput::make('name')
->required()
->maxLength(255),
Forms\Components\TextInput::make('email')
->email()
->required()
->maxLength(255),
Forms\Components\DateTimePicker::make('email_verified_at'),
Forms\Components\TextInput::make('password')
->password()
->required()
->maxLength(255),
// Instead of normal FileUpload, we use SpatieMediaLibraryFileUpload component
Forms\Components\SpatieMediaLibraryFileUpload::make('featured_image')
// We want to validate the field in real-time, so we use the `live()` method
->live()
// Tells the field that it has to be an image
->image()
->hiddenLabel()
// We tell which collection we want to use
->collection('avatar')
// Enabling the image editor
->imageEditor()
// Defining the image rules
->rules(Rule::dimensions()->maxWidth(600)->maxHeight(800))
// After the image is uploaded, we want to validate it
->afterStateUpdated(function (Forms\Contracts\HasForms $livewire, Forms\Components\SpatieMediaLibraryFileUpload $component) {
$livewire->validateOnly($component->getStatePath());
}),
]);
}

All of this works because we have installed the spatie/laravel-medialibrary package and configured our user to use it:

app/Models/User.php

use Filament\Models\Contracts\FilamentUser;
use Spatie\MediaLibrary\HasMedia;
use Spatie\MediaLibrary\InteractsWithMedia;
// ...
 
class User extends Authenticatable implements FilamentUser, HasMedia
{
// ...
use InteractsWithMedia;
// ...
}

That's it for our user. Now let's take a look at our Post...
