How to set tooltip on table header?

I want to be able to set a tooltip on the table header. Is there any way to achieve it for now? Or I might have to implement it by myself? Im trying to search if there is a way to do it. For now, havent found it. The screenshot would be what i want to achieve.

i guess yeah im trying to set it up but, what is $this on this context?

ericmpOP•2w ago

TextColumn::macro('abbr', function (?string $abbr = null, bool $asTooltip = false) {
    $label = $this->getLabel();
    $abbr = $abbr ?? $label;
    $classes = $this->isSortable() ? 'cursor-pointer' : 'cursor-help';

    $attributes = $asTooltip ? 'x-tooltip.raw="'.$abbr.'" title=""' : 'title="'.$abbr.'"';

    return $this->label(new HtmlString("<abbr class=\"$classes\" $attributes>$label</abbr>"));
});

TextColumn::macro('abbr', function (?string $abbr = null, bool $asTooltip = false) {
    $label = $this->getLabel();
    $abbr = $abbr ?? $label;
    $classes = $this->isSortable() ? 'cursor-pointer' : 'cursor-help';

    $attributes = $asTooltip ? 'x-tooltip.raw="'.$abbr.'" title=""' : 'title="'.$abbr.'"';

    return $this->label(new HtmlString("<abbr class=\"$classes\" $attributes>$label</abbr>"));
});

(i shared it as img so u see the red underline)

This is just how macros work. $this will get bound to the instance you access it on. So $this is the TextColumn in that case. See the collection example from the laravel docs

yeah i see its not crashing, just my code editor but its not working, what im missing? im just adding it in the boot method as u say and then

 Tables\Columns\TextColumn::make('club.name')->abbr('random', true)

 Tables\Columns\TextColumn::make('club.name')->abbr('random', true)

but i cannot see any toolitps when hovering i also added the item to the safelist and ran npm run build (btw thanks for the link to the docs, im reading them now)

Can you try putting ->abbr() at the end as last method?

ericmpOP•2w ago

ahhh i see, yeah makes sense, must be called after calling ->label() it worksssss thanks @dissto appreciate ur post on filamentglow and now ur further help here! 🙏 also thanks leandro for pointing out the trick! 🙌

@dissto not sure if u knew it (i guess yeah), but i share it to u: if the ide struggles trying to understand the context of this, u can do this:

/** @var \Filament\Tables\Columns\Column $this */
$this;

/** @var \Filament\Tables\Columns\Column $this */
$this;

now it doesnt underline any error (:
