Filament through the years - Filament # Filament through the years It’s hard to believe that we’re already celebrating Filament’s fifth birthday in 2026! In some ways, it feels like just yesterday...

Ever wanted to know more about how Filament came to be what it is today?

Take a trip down memory lane and learn a bit about Filament’s origins in today’s post (or just sit back and enjoy the nostalgia)!

When completely rebuilding a brand with a community so familiar with the old design, I think it's really difficult to keep your existing audience happy and to not alienate them. Emily & Hassan managed to retain so much personality in the brand! 😍

Really appreciate all the kind comments about the new @filamentphp.com brand!

Shout out to Emily @ Studio Hicks for designing our new identity and producing gorgeous custom art for it, and @zahirnia.com for that, iterating on the ideas, and building an incredible site!

The amount of OpenClaw worship on the other site is driving me crazy. I think many have lost their minds, or maybe it's just the agents posting. Why are people building apps for agents to interact with each other again? Do you really have nothing more valuable to spend tokens on? 😳

We’ve launched Filament v5 and Filament Blueprint today! 🤖

Filament v5 adds support for the newly-released Livewire v4!

Blueprint is a premium Laravel Boost extension that gives AI agents deep, structured knowledge of Filament, so they can write detailed implementation plans.

Hey, the query builder is meant to be used above the table: check the second code snippet on the query builder docs page

Above the table there should be plenty of space. On mobile devices it will put the inputs onto their own lines, but we don’t have container queries to do that on desktop in v3

Finally, I have built a way to build "plugins" for the rich editor and rendering system, to register any TipTap JS / PHP extensions and custom toolbar items. If you register a TipTap JS extension, it only gets loaded onto the page when you are using a rich editor, not on every request.

12.05.2025 11:46 👍 18 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0

You can also "register" rich content fields in an Eloquent model, to configure the file attachment behaviour centrally for any rich editor instances for that attribute and any times you render HTML that attribute. It's a similar mechanism to registering Spatie Media Library collections on a model.

12.05.2025 11:46 👍 6 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0

When using the Spatie Media Library plugin, all images in that editor are stored in their own collection on the model that is using media library. If an image is removed from the content, it also gets removed from the media library collection. The `data-id` attribute stores media UUIDs.

12.05.2025 11:46 👍 3 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0

The `data-id` attribute is then used when the editor is loaded and when content is rendered to generate temporary URLs into the `src` attributes of the images.

This has also allowed me to build an integration in the Spatie Media Library plugin for rich editor images.
