# Favorites Bar

> Configure the Favorites Bar with six different themes and customize its appearance, including Quick Save and View Manager integration.

The Favorites Bar is home to all of a user's favorite views as well as Quick Save and View Manager. The Favorites Bar can be customized in a variety of ways to match the needs of your application.

## Favorites Bar configuration

Unless specified otherwise, these customizations can be configured directly on the `AdvancedTablesPlugin` object inside your `PanelProvider`.

### Themes

Advanced Tables includes six different themes for the Favorites Bar:

1. Links
2. Simple links
3. Branded tabs
4. Tabs
5. Github (New, default)
6. Filament

You can change the theme with the 'favoritesBarTheme()\` method:

```php theme={null}
use Archilex\AdvancedTables\Enums\FavoritesBarTheme;

AdvancedTablesPlugin::make()
    ->favoritesBarTheme(FavoritesBarTheme::Filament)
```

> Note: Since `links-simple` only has color to visually distinguish between active and in-active states, it is recommended you [disable the ability to select a color](/v5/features/user-views#disabling-the-color-picker) for their User Views since it becomes difficult to know which link is active.

### Size

You may change the size of the Favorites Bar links to allow more links to be shown with the `favoritesBarSize()` method:

```php theme={null}
use Filament\Support\Enums\ActionSize;

AdvancedTablesPlugin::make()
    ->favoritesBarSize(ActionSize::Small)
```

Available sizes are: `ActionSize::Small` and `ActionSize::Medium`.

### Icon position

You may change the position of a view's icon in the Favorites Bar using the `favoritesBarIconPosition()` method:

```php theme={null}
use Filament\Support\Enums\IconPosition;

AdvancedTablesPlugin::make()
    ->favoritesBarIconPosition(IconPosition::Before)
```

### Disabling the Default View

By default, the Favorites Bar includes a Default View. Clicking this will completely reset the table back to its default settings. You may disable the Default View using the `favoritesBarDefaultView()` method:

```php theme={null}
AdvancedTablesPlugin::make()
    ->favoritesBarDefaultView(false)
```

You may also disable the Default View per resource by overriding the `hasDefaultView()` method in the class where you have added the AdvancedTables trait:

```php theme={null}
public function hasDefaultView(): bool
{
    return false;
}
```

### Modifying the Default View

Behind the scenes, the default view is an internal Preset View that is injected at the front of the views. This means it is easy to modify the default view per resource by [creating a Preset View](/v5/features/preset-views#creating-a-preset-view) with the key `default`:

```php theme={null}
public function getPresetViews(): array
{
    return [
        'default' => PresetView::make()
            ->modifyQueryUsing(fn (Builder $query) => $query->active())
            ->icon(Heroicon::Check)
            ->default()
            ->favorite()
    ];
}
```

### Default View name

You may change the name of the Default View in the [language file](/v5/configuration/additional-configurations#language-files).

### Default View icon

You may change the icon used for the Default View using the `favoritesBarDefaultIcon()` method:

```php theme={null}
AdvancedTablesPlugin::make()
    ->favoritesBarDefaultIcon('heroicon-o-home')
```

To remove the Default View icon, don't pass anything to the method: `favoritesBarDefaultIcon()`

### Divider

If using both Preset Views and User Views, it may be helpful to have a divider line to help users visually distinguish between the two. You may use the `favoritesBarDivider()` method to enable this:

```php theme={null}
AdvancedTablesPlugin::make()
    ->favoritesBarDivider()
```

For more ways to distinguish between Preset Views and Users Views, please read the section [Distinguishing between Preset Views and Users Views](/v5/features/preset-views#distinguishing-between-preset-views-and-users-views)

### Loading Indicator

You may show a loading indicator when switching between views by using the `favoritesBarLoadingIndicator()` method:

```php theme={null}
AdvancedTablesPlugin::make()
    ->favoritesBarLoadingIndicator()
```

### Disabling the Favorites Bar

You can disable the Favorites Bar globally (helpful if you only want to use [reorderable columns](/v5/get-started/installation#reorderable-columns)) by passing `false` to the `favoritesBarEnabled()` method:

```php theme={null}
AdvancedTablesPlugin::make()
    ->favoritesBarEnabled(false)
```

You may also configure this per table by overriding the `favoritesBarIsEnabled()` method on your List page:

```php theme={null}
class ListOrders extends ListRecords
{
    use AdvancedTables; 

    public static function favoritesBarIsEnabled(): bool
    {
        return false;
    }
    ...
```

You may also disable [Quick Save](/v5/features/quick-save#disabling-quick-save) or the [View Manager](/v5/features/view-manager#disabling-the-view-manager) if needed.
