Table Loading Indicators (New)

If you would like to give your users more feedback when their table is loading, you may enable a loading skeleton overlay by adding the ->tableLoadingOverlay() method: 
AdvancedTablesPlugin::make()
    ->tableLoadingOverlay()
If any of your table columns are using the ->extraCellAttributes() method, you will need to make sure you pass in true as the second parameter so that your attributes are merged with the plugin’s: 
TextColumn::make('name')
    ->extraCellAttributes([
        'class' => 'bg-gray-500'
    ], merge: true)
Additional loading indicator types and effects will be coming in the future. Feel free to reach out to me with your suggestions.
Note: Be sure to run npm run build and php artisan filament:upgrade after enabling this feature.

User::class

If you are using a User configuration other than Laravel’s default, you should configure these before running your migrations:

​
Configuring the User::class

You may customize the User::class by passing your custom class to the user() method: 
AdvancedTablesPlugin::make()
    ->user(MyUser::class)

​
Configuring the users database table

You may customize the users database table by passing the name of your table to the userTable() method: 
AdvancedTablesPlugin::make()
    ->userTable('my_users_table')

​
Configuring the user name columns

By default, Laravel’s default users table includes a name column which Advanced Tables expects to exist. If you have modified your users table to something such as first_name and last_name you may configure this using the userTableNameColumn() method: 
AdvancedTablesPlugin::make()
    ->userTableNameColumn('first_name')
If you have only have a first_name and last_name column, but still wish to show a user’s full name in the User Views Resource, you may create a virtual column to support this: 
$table->string('full_name')->virtualAs('concat(first_name, \' \', last_name)');

AdvancedTablesPlugin::make()
    ->userTableNameColumn('full_name')

​
Configuring the user primary key

If you are set your primary key on your User::class model to something other than Laravel’s default id, you should also configure this in Advanced Tables using the userTableKeyColumn() method: 
AdvancedTablesPlugin::make()
    ->userTableKeyColumn('uuid')

​
Configuring the authentication guard

By default, Advanced Tables will use whichever authentication guard is set on your Filament panel. If you are using standalone Table Builder, you may set the authentication guard in the advanced-tables config file: 
'users' => [
    'auth_guard' => 'web',
],

​
Language Files

Each text field in Advanced Tables has been added to the language file allowing you to customize the text to better fit your application needs. You can publish the language files with: 
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=advanced-tables-translations
This will copy the language files to your resources\lang\vendor\advanced-tables directory. Currently 🇺🇸 English, 🇲🇽 Spanish, and 🇫🇷 French translations are available.
