Columns

Column types available for Laravilt tables and the options they share.

Columns live in the Laravilt\Tables\Columns namespace. Pass them to $table->columns([...]).

Column	Purpose
TextColumn	Text, badges, dates, money, numbers, and summaries
ImageColumn	Single or stacked images
IconColumn	Lucide icons, including boolean mode
ColorColumn	Color swatches
ToggleColumn	Inline on/off switch that saves to the database
SelectColumn	Inline dropdown that saves to the database
TextInputColumn	Inline text input that saves to the database
CheckboxColumn	Inline checkbox that saves to the database

BadgeColumn (a TextColumn with a colors() map) and BooleanColumn (an IconColumn in boolean mode) are also available.

Shared options

Every column extends Laravilt\Tables\Columns\Column:

php

Method	Description
`label()`	Column header
`sortable()`	Allow sorting by this column. See Sorting
`searchable()`	Include in global search. See Searching
`toggleable()`	Allow hiding via the column menu. See Column Visibility
`formatStateUsing()` / `formatUsing()`	Transform the displayed value: `fn ($state, $record) => ...`
`getStateUsing()`	Compute the value from the record: `fn ($record) => ...`
`description()`	Secondary text, `position: 'below'` (default) or `'above'`
`tooltip()`, `url()`, `openUrlInNewTab()`	Hover text and links
`prefix()`, `suffix()`	Text around the value
`alignStart()`, `alignCenter()`, `alignEnd()`, `alignJustify()`	Alignment
`width()`, `grow()`, `size()`	Sizing
`visible()`, `hidden()`	Show or hide the column

Editable columns

ToggleColumn, SelectColumn, TextInputColumn, and CheckboxColumn are editable: the user changes the value in the cell and the panel saves it. Both the Vue and React tables render them.

Inline editing for SelectColumn, TextInputColumn, and CheckboxColumn requires Laravilt v1.1 or later.

Each change is sent to one endpoint, which laravilt/tables registers under every panel:

PATCH {panel}/_tables/{resource}/{record}/column

The request body is { "column": "status", "value": "published" }. The endpoint uses the same middleware as the panel's pages (session, panel auth, localization, and tenant identification), and then:

rebuilds the resource's table and finds the column. Plain display columns, disabled columns, and relationship columns (such as author.name) are rejected with a 403;
loads the record through the resource's getEloquentQuery(), so tenant scoping applies;
checks the resource's canUpdate() (your policy's update method, or the panel's permission system). It returns a 403 when the check fails;
validates the value against the column's type rules plus its rules();
runs beforeStateUpdated(), sets only that column's attribute, saves the record, and runs afterStateUpdated().

The update is optimistic. The cell shows the new value straight away, and it goes back to the old value with an error notification if the server rejects the change. A validation error shows the rule's message.

Limitations

In relation-manager tables, editable cells are read-only.
The endpoint is registered only on path-based panel routes. Panels served on tenant subdomains don't get it, so their editable cells are read-only.
The card-grid layout has no editable SelectColumn, TextInputColumn, or CheckboxColumn cells. They display as text.
