README
Quickly spin up a new Filament powered application.
Filament Installer is a command-line tool that replaces the Laravel installer and wraps up the most common tasks you might take when creating a Filament app: opening it in your editor and your browser, initialize a git repository, tweak your .env
and .env.example
, and more.
Requirements
- PHP 8.0+
- (optional, but beneficial) Laravel Valet
Installation
composer global require awcodes/filament-installer
Upgrading
composer global update awcodes/filament-installer
Usage
Make sure ~/.composer/vendor/bin
is in your terminal's path.
cd ~/<code-directory> filament new my-cool-filament-app
What exactly does it do?
filament new $PROJECTNAME
- Initialize a git repo, add all the files, and, after some changes below, make a commit with the text "Initial commit."
- Replace the
.env
(and.env.example
) database credentials with the default macOS MySQL credentials: database of$PROJECTNAME
, userroot
, and empty password - Replace the
.env
(and.env.example
)APP_URL
with$PROJECTNAME.$YOURVALETTLD
- Generate an app key
- Set up dark mode (if opted in)
- Scaffold custom theme assets (if opted in)
- Install and setup Filament Breezy, Filament Shield, or Filament Sentry (if opted in)
- Open the project in your favorite editor
- Open
$PROJECTNAME.$YOURVALETTLD
in your browser
Note: If your
$PROJECTNAME
has dashes (-
) in it, they will be replaced with underscores (_
) in the database name.
There are also a few optional behaviors based on the parameters you pass (or define in your config file), including creating a database, migrating, running Valet Link and/or Secure, and running a custom bash script of your definition after the fact.
Customizing Filament Installer
While the default actions Filament Installer provides are great, most users will want to customize at least a few of the steps. Thankfully, Filament Installer is built to be customized!
There are three ways to customize your usage of Filament Installer: command-line arguments, a config file, and an "after" file.
Most users will want to set their preferred configuration options once and then never think about it again. That's best solved by creating a config file.
But if you find yourself needing to change the way you interact with Filament Installer on a project-by-project basis, you may also want to use the command-line parameters to customize Filament Installer when you're using it.
Creating a config file
You can create a config file at ~/.filament/config
rather than pass the same arguments each time you create a new project.
The following command creates the file, if it doesn't exist, and edits it:
filament edit-config
The config file contains the configuration parameters you can customize, and will be read on every usage of Filament Installer.
Creating an "after" file
You can also create an after file at ~/.filament/after
to run additional commands after you create a new project.
The following command creates the file, if it doesn't exist, and edits it:
filament edit-after
The after file is interpreted as a bash script, so you can include any commands here, such as installing additional composer dependencies...
# Install additional composer dependencies as you would from the command line. echo "Installing Composer Dependencies" composer require awcodes/filament-quick-create spatie/laravel-ray
...or copying additional files to your new project.
# To copy standard files to new filament project place them in ~/.filament/includes directory. echo "Copying Include Files" cp -R ~/.filament/includes/ $PROJECTPATH
You also have access to variables from your config file such as $PROJECTPATH
and $CODEEDITOR
.
Using command-line parameters
Any command-line parameters passed in will override Filament Installer's defaults and your config settings. See a full list of the parameters you can pass in.

GitHub Repository Creation
Important: To create new repositories Filament Installer requires one of the following tools to be installed:
- the official GitHub command line tool
- the hub command line tool
Filament Installer will give you the option to continue without GitHub repository creation if neither tool is installed.
-g
or--github
to Initialize a new private GitHub repository and push your new project to it.
# Repository created at https://github.com/<your_github_username>/my-cool-filament-app
filament new my-cool-filament-app --github
- Use
--gh-public
with--github
to make the new GitHub repository public.
filament new my-cool-filament-app --github --gh-public
- Use
--gh-description
with--github
to initialize the new GitHub repository with a description.
filament Installer new my-cool-filament-app --github --gh-description='My cool Filament application'
- Use
--gh-homepage
with--github
to initialize the new GitHub repository with a homepage url.
filament Installer new my-cool-filament-app --github --gh-homepage=https://example.com
- Use
--gh-org
with--github
to initialize the new GitHub repository with a specified organization.
# Repository created at https://github.com/acme/my-cool-filament-app
filament new my-cool-filament-app --github --gh-org=acme
