Download the PHP package portable/fila-cms without Composer

#

Requirements

• PHP ^8.4
• Laravel ^12.61.1 (Laravel 10 and 11 are EOL and no longer supported)
• Node 22+ and pnpm 11+ to build the frontend assets

How to use

Require the package using composer: composer require portable/fila-cms:@dev

Installation Command

To initialize the package, you need to run the fila-cms:install command. This command also has arguments that will install other features of Filament.

You can read about the various Filament features here

The following arguments can be added to add the feature

1. scaffold
2. actions
3. forms
4. infolists
5. notifications
6. panels
7. tables
8. widgets

Add User Concerns

This command can be used by executing php artisan fila-cms:add-user-concerns. With this command, it'll add the traits and interfaces to your user model.

Note: This command is also part of the fila-cms:install. Upon executing the install command, you'll be asked if you want to add the required trait to your User Model. By inputting yes, the install command will also execute this command

Maker User

After installation, you can create a user with the admin role by executing php artisan fila-cms:make-user. This command will ask for field values present in your users table and automatically assigns the admin role to it.

Testing

From the project directory, run ./vendor/bin/pest

Frontend assets (pnpm)

JS/CSS assets are managed with pnpm (v11+) on Node 22+ — see the security rationale in docs/superpowers/plans/2026-06-11-npm-to-pnpm-migration.md. Do not use npm/yarn.

The pinned package manager (packageManager) and engines constraints in package.json are enforced via engine-strict=true in .npmrc; security defaults (7-day minimumReleaseAge) live in pnpm-workspace.yaml.

Interacting with the package

During development, you may like to actually interact with the FilaCMS UI. In your console, run

You can now load the application at http://localhost:8000/admin

Username: [email protected] Password: password

If you're doing anything that needs to send mail, start the Mailhog daemon: docker run -p 8025:8025 -p 1025:1025 mailhog/mailhog

Now you can go to http://localhost:8025 and see any mail that the application "sends"

Protecting resources

Add the IsProtectedResource trait to your Filament resources to have them automatically obey view <resource-name> and manage <resource-name> permissions.

Extending the Abstract Content

To add additional models or tables that extends the AbstractContent, you start by executing php artisan make:filament-resource {Resource}.

This command will generate a Resource file in your App\Filament\Resources folder. Add the next line in your class: use Portable\FilaCms\Filament\Resources\AbstractContentResource;

Then go to your generated Resource file (e.g. RecipeResource.php), and change the extends Resource part to extends AbstractContentResource.

You should declare the proper model in your $model variable.

Then go to your model and add the following line: use Portable\FilaCms\Models\AbstractContentModel; Then change the extends Model to extends AbstractContentModel

Next is to create a Plugin class in your app/Plugins folder (or create the folder if it's not present yet). The content should look like this (change the appropriate values such as the Resource and the ID):

namespace App\Plugins;

use App\Filament\Resources\RecipeResource;
use Filament\Panel;
use Filament\Contracts\Plugin;

class RecipesPlugin implements Plugin
{
    public function getId(): string
    {
        return 'filacms-recipes';
    }

    public function register(Panel $panel): void
    {
        $panel->resources([
            RecipeResource::class
        ]);
    }
}

Finally, add the plugin in your app/config/fila-cms.php file
