Text column

#Introduction

Text columns display simple text:

use Filament\Tables\Columns\TextColumn;

TextColumn::make('title')

#Customizing the color

You may set a color for the text:

use Filament\Tables\Columns\TextColumn;

TextColumn::make('status')
    ->color('primary')

As well as allowing a static value, the color() method also accepts a function to dynamically calculate it. You can inject various utilities into the function as parameters.

#Displaying as a “badge”

By default, text is quite plain and has no background color. You can make it appear as a “badge” instead using the badge() method. A great use case for this is with statuses, where may want to display a badge with a color that matches the status:

use Filament\Tables\Columns\TextColumn;

TextColumn::make('status')
    ->badge()
    ->color(fn (string $state): string => match ($state) {
        'draft' => 'gray',
        'reviewing' => 'warning',
        'published' => 'success',
        'rejected' => 'danger',
    })

You may add other things to the badge, like an icon.

Optionally, you may pass a boolean value to control if the text should be in a badge or not:

use Filament\Tables\Columns\TextColumn;

TextColumn::make('status')
    ->badge(FeatureFlag::active())

As well as allowing a static value, the badge() method also accepts a function to dynamically calculate it. You can inject various utilities into the function as parameters.

Utility	Type	Parameter	Description
Column	Filament\Tables\Columns\Column	$column	The current column instance.
Livewire	Livewire\Component	$livewire	The Livewire component instance.
Eloquent record	?Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model	$record	The Eloquent record for the current table row.
Row loop	stdClass	$rowLoop	The row loop object for the current table row.
State	mixed	$state	The current value of the column, based on the current table row.
Table	Filament\Tables\Table	$table	The current table instance.

#Formatting

When using a text column, you may want the actual outputted text in the UI to differ from the raw state of the column, which is often automatically retrieved from an Eloquent model. Formatting the state allows you to preserve the integrity of the raw data while also allowing it to be presented in a more user-friendly way.

To format the state of a text column without changing the state itself, you can use the formatStateUsing() method. This method accepts a function that takes the state as an argument and returns the formatted state:

use Filament\Tables\Columns\TextColumn;

TextColumn::make('status')
    ->formatStateUsing(fn (string $state): string => __("statuses.{$state}"))

In this case, the status column in the database might contain values like draft, reviewing, published, or rejected, but the formatted state will be the translated version of these values.

The function passed to formatStateUsing() can inject various utilities as parameters.

Utility	Type	Parameter	Description
Column	Filament\Tables\Columns\Column	$column	The current column instance.
Livewire	Livewire\Component	$livewire	The Livewire component instance.
Eloquent record	?Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model	$record	The Eloquent record for the current table row.
Row loop	stdClass	$rowLoop	The row loop object for the current table row.
State	mixed	$state	The current value of the column, based on the current table row.
Table	Filament\Tables\Table	$table	The current table instance.

#Date formatting

Instead of passing a function to formatStateUsing(), you may use the date(), dateTime(), and time() methods to format the column’s state using PHP date formatting tokens:

use Filament\Tables\Columns\TextColumn;

TextColumn::make('created_at')
    ->date()

TextColumn::make('created_at')
    ->dateTime()

TextColumn::make('created_at')
    ->time()

You may customize the date format by passing a custom format string to the date(), dateTime(), or time() method. You may use any PHP date formatting tokens:

use Filament\Tables\Columns\TextColumn;

TextColumn::make('created_at')
    ->date('M j, Y')
    
TextColumn::make('created_at')
    ->dateTime('M j, Y H:i:s')
    
TextColumn::make('created_at')
    ->time('H:i:s')

As well as allowing static values, the date(), dateTime(), and time() methods also accept a function to dynamically calculate the format. You can inject various utilities into the function as parameters.

Utility	Type	Parameter	Description
Column	Filament\Tables\Columns\Column	$column	The current column instance.
Livewire	Livewire\Component	$livewire	The Livewire component instance.
Eloquent record	?Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model	$record	The Eloquent record for the current table row.
Row loop	stdClass	$rowLoop	The row loop object for the current table row.
State	mixed	$state	The current value of the column, based on the current table row.
Table	Filament\Tables\Table	$table	The current table instance.

#Date formatting using Carbon macro formats

You may use also the isoDate(), isoDateTime(), and isoTime() methods to format the column’s state using Carbon’s macro-formats:

use Filament\Tables\Columns\TextColumn;

TextColumn::make('created_at')
    ->isoDate()

TextColumn::make('created_at')
    ->isoDateTime()

TextColumn::make('created_at')
    ->isoTime()

You may customize the date format by passing a custom macro format string to the isoDate(), isoDateTime(), or isoTime() method. You may use any Carbon’s macro-formats:

use Filament\Tables\Columns\TextColumn;

TextColumn::make('created_at')
    ->isoDate('L')

TextColumn::make('created_at')
    ->isoDateTime('LLL')

TextColumn::make('created_at')
    ->isoTime('LT')

As well as allowing static values, the isoDate(), isoDateTime(), and isoTime() methods also accept a function to dynamically calculate the format. You can inject various utilities into the function as parameters.

#Relative date formatting

You may use the since() method to format the column’s state using Carbon’s diffForHumans():

use Filament\Tables\Columns\TextColumn;

TextColumn::make('created_at')
    ->since()

#Displaying a formatting date in a tooltip

Additionally, you can use the dateTooltip(), dateTimeTooltip(), timeTooltip(), isoDateTooltip(), isoDateTimeTooltip(), isoTime(), isoTimeTooltip(), or sinceTooltip() method to display a formatted date in a tooltip, often to provide extra information:

use Filament\Tables\Columns\TextColumn;

TextColumn::make('created_at')
    ->since()
    ->dateTooltip() // Accepts a custom PHP date formatting string

TextColumn::make('created_at')
    ->since()
    ->dateTimeTooltip() // Accepts a custom PHP date formatting string

TextColumn::make('created_at')
    ->since()
    ->timeTooltip() // Accepts a custom PHP date formatting string

TextColumn::make('created_at')
    ->since()
    ->isoDateTooltip() // Accepts a custom Carbon macro format string

TextColumn::make('created_at')
    ->since()
    ->isoDateTimeTooltip() // Accepts a custom Carbon macro format string

TextColumn::make('created_at')
    ->since()
    ->isoTimeTooltip() // Accepts a custom Carbon macro format string

TextColumn::make('created_at')
    ->dateTime()
    ->sinceTooltip()

#Setting the timezone for date formatting

Each of the date formatting methods listed above also accepts a timezone argument, which allows you to convert the time set in the state to a different timezone:

use Filament\Tables\Columns\TextColumn;

TextColumn::make('created_at')
    ->dateTime(timezone: 'America/New_York')

You can also pass a timezone to the timezone() method of the column to apply a timezone to all date-time formatting methods at once:

use Filament\Tables\Columns\TextColumn;

TextColumn::make('created_at')
    ->timezone('America/New_York')
    ->dateTime()

As well as allowing static values, the timezone() method also accepts a function to dynamically calculate the timezone. You can inject various utilities into the function as parameters.

#Rendering raw HTML without sanitization

If you use this method, then the HTML will be sanitized to remove any potentially unsafe content before it is rendered. If you’d like to opt out of this behavior, you can wrap the HTML in an HtmlString object by formatting it:

use Filament\Tables\Columns\TextColumn;
use Illuminate\Support\HtmlString;

TextColumn::make('description')
    ->formatStateUsing(fn (string $state): HtmlString => new HtmlString($state))

Alternatively, you can return a view() object from the formatStateUsing() method, which will also not be sanitized:

use Filament\Tables\Columns\TextColumn;
use Illuminate\Contracts\View\View;

TextColumn::make('description')
    ->formatStateUsing(fn (string $state): View => view(
        'filament.tables.columns.description-column-content',
        ['state' => $state],

TextColumn::make('title')
    ->description(fn (Post $record): string => $record->description, position: 'above')

#Listing multiple values

Multiple values can be rendered in a text column if its state is an array. This can happen if you are using an array cast on an Eloquent attribute, an Eloquent relationship with multiple results, or if you have passed an array to the state() method. If there are multiple values inside your text column, they will be comma-separated. You may use the listWithLineBreaks() method to display them on new lines instead:

use Filament\Tables\Columns\TextColumn;

TextColumn::make('authors.name')
    ->listWithLineBreaks()

Optionally, you may pass a boolean value to control if the text should have line breaks between each item or not:

use Filament\Tables\Columns\TextColumn;

#Customizing the font family

You can change the text font family to any of the following options: FontFamily::Sans, FontFamily::Serif or FontFamily::Mono.

For instance, you may make the font monospaced using fontFamily(FontFamily::Mono):

use Filament\Support\Enums\FontFamily;
use Filament\Tables\Columns\TextColumn;

TextColumn::make('email')
    ->fontFamily(FontFamily::Mono)

As well as allowing a static value, the fontFamily() method also accepts a function to dynamically calculate it. You can inject various utilities into the function as parameters.

#Handling long text

#Limiting text length

You may limit() the length of the column’s value:

use Filament\Tables\Columns\TextColumn;

TextColumn::make('description')
    ->limit(50)

As well as allowing a static value, the limit() method also accepts a function to dynamically calculate it. You can inject various utilities into the function as parameters.

By default, when text is truncated, an ellipsis (...) is appended to the end of the text. You may customize this by passing a custom string to the end argument:

use Filament\Tables\Columns\TextColumn;

TextColumn::make('description')
    ->limit(50, end: ' (more)')

As well as allowing a static value, the end argument also accepts a function to dynamically calculate it. You can inject various utilities into the function as parameters.

Table	Filament\Tables\Table	$table	The current table instance.

You may also reuse the value that is being passed to limit() in a function, by getting it using the getCharacterLimit() method:

use Filament\Tables\Columns\TextColumn;

TextColumn::make('description')
    ->limit(50)
    ->tooltip(function (TextColumn $column): ?string {
        $state = $column->getState();

        if (strlen($state) <= $column->getCharacterLimit()) {
            return null;
        }

        // Only render the tooltip if the column contents exceeds the length limit.
        return $state;
    })

#Limiting word count

You may limit the number of words() displayed in the column:

use Filament\Tables\Columns\TextColumn;

TextColumn::make('description')
    ->words(10)

As well as allowing a static value, the words() method also accepts a function to dynamically calculate it. You can inject various utilities into the function as parameters.

Table	Filament\Tables\Table	$table	The current table instance.

#Allowing text wrapping

By default, text will not wrap to the next line if it exceeds the width of the container. You can enable this behavior using the wrap() method:

use Filament\Tables\Columns\TextColumn;

TextColumn::make('description')
    ->wrap()

Optionally, you may pass a boolean value to control if the text should wrap or not:

use Filament\Tables\Columns\TextColumn;

TextColumn::make('description')
    ->wrap(FeatureFlag::active())

As well as allowing a static value, the wrap() method also accepts a function to dynamically calculate it. You can inject various utilities into the function as parameters.

#Limiting text to a specific number of lines

You may want to limit text to a specific number of lines instead of limiting it to a fixed length. Clamping text to a number of lines is useful in responsive interfaces where you want to ensure a consistent experience across all screen sizes. This can be achieved using the lineClamp() method:

use Filament\Tables\Columns\TextColumn;

TextColumn::make('description')
    ->wrap()
    ->lineClamp(2)

As well as allowing a static value, the lineClamp() method also accepts a function to dynamically calculate it. You can inject various utilities into the function as parameters.

Table	Filament\Tables\Table	$table	The current table instance.

#Allowing the text to be copied to the clipboard

You may make the text copyable, such that clicking on the column copies the text to the clipboard, and optionally specify a custom confirmation message and duration in milliseconds:

use Filament\Tables\Columns\TextColumn;

TextColumn::make('email')
    ->copyable()
    ->copyMessage('Email address copied')
    ->copyMessageDuration(1500)

Optionally, you may pass a boolean value to control if the text should be copyable or not:

use Filament\Tables\Columns\TextColumn;

TextColumn::make('email')
    ->copyable(FeatureFlag::active())

As well as allowing static values, the copyable(), copyMessage(), and copyMessageDuration() methods also accept functions to dynamically calculate them. You can inject various utilities into the function as parameters.
