Creating a Simple Blog Using Filament

January 2022 (354 Words, 2 Minutes)

In this tutorial, we will discuss the steps to create a simple blog using Filament, a powerful and intuitive administrative panel builder for Laravel applications. This blog will have basic features such as displaying a list of posts, showing single posts, and a form to add new posts.

Step 1: Project Preparation

  1. Install Filament: Make sure you have installed Filament CLI by running the npm install -g filament-cli command.

  2. Create a New Project: Create a new project by running the command filament create project-name. Follow the prompts to complete the project creation process.

  3. Navigate to Project Directory: Navigate to the newly created project directory by running cd project-name.

Step 2: Designing the Blog Layout

  1. Component Structure: Create a component structure for your blog. For example, components for the post list (PostList), single post (SinglePost), and adding a new post form (AddPostForm).

  2. Design Layout: Design the layout for each component using HTML and CSS. Make sure to add necessary interactions, such as buttons to open the add post form.

Step 3: Implementing Business Logic

  1. Dummy Data: Create dummy data for blog posts using JavaScript objects. For example:

     const posts = [
   { id: 1, title: 'Post Title 1', content: 'Post Content 1' },
   { id: 2, title: 'Post Title 2', content: 'Post Content 2' },
   // add more posts as needed
 ];

  2. Displaying Post List: Implement logic to display the list of posts in the PostList component using the map method on the posts array.

  3. Displaying Single Post: Implement logic to display a single post in the SinglePost component. Retrieve post data based on the ID received as a prop.

  4. Adding a New Post: Implement logic to add a new post in the AddPostForm component. Create a form with inputs for title and post content, along with a button to add the post.

Step 4: Routing

  1. Route Configuration: Configure routes for your application to handle navigation between the post list page, single post page, and add post form.

  2. Navigation: Add navigation between pages using links (<a> tags or the Link component from Filament).

Step 5: Testing and Maintenance

  1. Testing: Test your application to ensure that all features work as expected. Check the appearance and functionality on various devices and browsers.

  2. Code Maintenance: Make sure to perform regular maintenance on your code. Fix any bugs found and make feature enhancements as needed.

By following the above steps, you have now successfully created a simple blog using Filament. You can continue to develop this application by adding additional features as needed. Happy coding!
