README

Filling out forms in dev is tedious. Filament Fakester sticks a little sparkles button next to every TextInput, Textarea, RichEditor, and MarkdownEditor — one click and the field gets sensible fake data. It reads the field name and the input type, so email gets an email, latitude gets a coordinate, slug gets a slug, phone gets a phone number, and so on. In production it's gone — nothing renders unless you tell it to.

Install

composer require iammuttaqi/filament-fakester --dev

That's it. The package self-registers through Laravel's service provider discovery, so the moment a Filament form component renders anywhere in your app — inside a panel, inside a standalone Livewire form, doesn't matter — the hint button is there. No plugin to wire into a panel, no service provider edits.

Want to publish the config?

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="filament-fakester-config"

return [
    'enabled' => env('FAKESTER_ENABLED', ! app()->isProduction()),
];

Hidden in production by default. Force it on or off with FAKESTER_ENABLED in your env.

What it figures out for you

The resolver looks at the field's name and HTML type and picks something that fits. A non-exhaustive taste:

Field name / type	What you get
email (or type="email")	[e-mail]
phone, mobile, tel	+1-555-…
latitude / longitude	valid coordinates
slug	kebab-case-words
url, website, facebook, google_map	a plausible URL
password	a random secret
name, first_name, last_name, company, city, …	what you'd expect
anything else	a short faker sentence

Textarea, RichEditor, MarkdownEditor get longer paragraphs — HTML blocks for rich editors, plain markdown for the markdown one.

Teaching it your own fields

Got an invoice_number or order_ref that needs a specific shape? Register a matcher anywhere in your app boot (e.g. AppServiceProvider::boot):

app(\Iammuttaqi\FilamentFakester\Support\MatcherRegistry::class)
    ->register(fn (string $name, ?string $type) =>
        $name === 'invoice_number' ? 'INV-' . fake()->numerify('######') : null
    );

Return a value to override the default, return null to fall through to the built-in resolver. Matchers run before the built-ins, so yours always win.
