Is it possible to share resources, pages and widgets across panels?

Since now we can have multiple panels, and each panel uses:

->discoverResources(in: app_path('Filament/Resources'), for: 'App\\Filament\\Resources')
->discoverPages(in: app_path('Filament/Pages'), for: 'App\\Filament\\Pages')
->discoverWidgets(in: app_path('Filament/Widgets'), for: 'App\\Filament\\Widgets')

->discoverResources(in: app_path('Filament/Resources'), for: 'App\\Filament\\Resources')
->discoverPages(in: app_path('Filament/Pages'), for: 'App\\Filament\\Pages')
->discoverWidgets(in: app_path('Filament/Widgets'), for: 'App\\Filament\\Widgets')

Is there a way to share resources among panels? Example: Sales & customer support should be able use SalesResource and OrdersWidget. If no such thing is possible. I'd like to collaborate on adding this feature.

You can use –>resources(), ->pages() and ->widgets() to register custom resources/pages/widget for each panel.

Is there any doc or code example you may kindly share?

It works the same way as any other configuration here: https://filamentphp.com/docs/3.x/panels/configuration

I just put them in another folder "Shared" and register or extend from there

SoraKeyheartOP•16mo ago

by extend you mean I can add ->discoverResources() more than once?

Dennis Koch•16mo ago

Extend as in Class inheritance.

Hi @Dennis Koch is this possible to have more details about this (your last message) ?

Dennis Koch•13mo ago

I have empty classes that extend source classes in a shared folder.

Ok so for example in my "admin" panel I have a AdressResource with a form, table, etc. I want this resource also in my "app" panel, so I share it with the

->resources([AdressResource::class])

->resources([AdressResource::class])

However I want to have a different form in the "app" panel, so I can extend the resource for defining a new form, but with the same resource ?

Dennis Koch•13mo ago

Yes, you could do it that way. Extend the base resource, overwrite the form and register the new Resource

Chriis•13mo ago

Oh ok, so it looks like that ?

namespace App\Filament\Resources;

class AdressResource extends Resource 
{
  // AdressResource form, table, etc ...
}

namespace App\Filament\Resources;

class AdressResource extends Resource 
{
  // AdressResource form, table, etc ...
}

namespace App\Filament\AppPanel\Resources;

class AppAdressResource extends AdressResource
{
  // Overwriting the form, table, etc ... of the 'admin' panel AdressResource
}

namespace App\Filament\AppPanel\Resources;

class AppAdressResource extends AdressResource
{
  // Overwriting the form, table, etc ... of the 'admin' panel AdressResource
}

And what do you mean by registering the new Resource ? If I register AppAdressResource as a new resource, the records are still going to go in the same database table than AdressResource ?

Dennis Koch•13mo ago

Sure, they both use the same model

Chriis•13mo ago

Oh nice, it's perfect 🙂 Its a lot better than doing this, when you have mutilple changes

->visible(fn () => Filament::getCurrentPanel()->getId() === 'admin')

->visible(fn () => Filament::getCurrentPanel()->getId() === 'admin')

Thank you so much I created the AppFooResource extends FooResource but now I have two time the resource ... Probably because I have the one I share in the AppPanelProvider ->resources([]) and the one I create extending the FooResource class from the Admin panel 😦 And the resource in my admin panel is also impacted hmm ... Looks like there is no other option than ->visible

Dennis Koch•13mo ago

Don't understand your setup. Shouldn't be an issue of you don't register both in the same panel

Chriis•13mo ago

I'm going to make a little diagram or something like that for better understanding and I will comeback to you 🙂

@Dennis Koch Hi, here is the little schema for explaining what I try to do. Idk if it really helps 😅
