## Introduction
11+
As a member of the Filament community, I frequently respond to questions and issues raised in [Filament Discord](https://filamentphp.com/discord) and [Filament GitHub discussions](https://github.com/filamentphp/filament/discussions).
12+
Many of these involve common mistakes that developers make while building forms in Filament.
13+
In this article, I'll highlight some of these errors and show you how to avoid them.
14+
15+
> **_NOTE:_** This article was written using [Filament v3.x](https://filamentphp.com/docs/3.x).
16+
17+
## Error 1: Using New Tailwind Classes Without Defining a Theme
18+
19+
Suppose you want to add a custom Tailwind class to the [helperText](https://filamentphp.com/docs/3.x/forms/fields/getting-started#adding-helper-text-below-the-field) of a [RichEditor](https://filamentphp.com/docs/3.x/forms/fields/rich-editor) component:
20+
21+
```php
22+
RichEditor::make('content')
23+
->columnSpanFull()
24+
->helperText(new HtmlString(<<<'HTML'
25+
<div class="text-gray-700 dark:text-white py-4">
26+
You can use
27+
<a
28+
href="https://commonmark.org/help/"
29+
target="_blank"
30+
class="text-blue-500 font-bold hover:underline"
31+
>
32+
Markdown
33+
</a> to format your content.
34+
</div>
35+
HTML)
36+
),
37+
```
38+
39+
If you run this code without creating a custom theme, the new class **text-blue-500** will not be applied:
40+
![HelperText without css applied](https://github.com/leandrocfe/filament-articles/blob/main/form-builder/images/img1.png?raw=true)
41+
42+
### Why?
43+
Tailwind CSS compiles only classes explicitly referenced in scanned files. Classes dynamically added in your Blade files will be ignored unless you configure Tailwind to scan those files.
44+
45+
### Solution:
46+
- Create a [custom theme](https://filamentphp.com/docs/3.x/panels/themes#creating-a-custom-theme).
47+
- Follow the instructions in the command:
48+
- _First, add a new item to the `input` array of `vite.config.js`: `resources/css/filament/admin/theme.css`_
49+
- _Next, register the theme in the admin panel provider using `->viteTheme('resources/css/filament/admin/theme.css')`_
50+
51+
- Update the content array in your `tailwind.config.js` to include the relevant directory:
52+
```js
53+
export default {
54+
presets: [preset],
55+
content: [
56+
'./app/Filament/**/*.php',
57+
'./resources/views/filament/**/*.blade.php',
58+
'./vendor/filament/**/*.blade.php',
59+
//...
60+
],
61+
}
62+
```
63+
- Finally, run `npm run dev` or `npm run build` to compile the theme.
64+
65+
After following these steps, the custom class will be applied successfully:
66+
67+
![HelperText with css applied](https://github.com/leandrocfe/filament-articles/blob/main/form-builder/images/img2.png?raw=true)
68+
69+
## Error 2: Misusing the `default()` Method in Form Components
70+
71+
Here's an example of a [TagsInput](https://filamentphp.com/docs/3.x/forms/fields/tags-input) component with default tags in a PostResource:
72+
73+
```php
74+
TagsInput::make('tags')
75+
->default([
76+
'Laravel',
77+
'Livewire',
78+
'Filament',
79+
]),
80+
```
81+
82+
This works perfectly on a Create Page:
83+
84+
![Default in the CreatePage](https://github.com/leandrocfe/filament-articles/blob/main/form-builder/images/img3.png?raw=true)
85+
86+
However, if you edit a post with no tags, the defaults won't apply:
87+
88+
![Default in the EditPage](https://github.com/leandrocfe/filament-articles/blob/main/form-builder/images/img4.png?raw=true)
89+
90+
### Why?
91+
As the [docs say](https://filamentphp.com/docs/3.x/forms/fields/getting-started#setting-a-default-value), _defaults are only used when the form is loaded without existing data. Inside panel resources this only works on Create Pages, as Edit Pages will always fill the data from the model._
92+
93+
In this case, the value is `null`, which is correct on the Edit Page.
94+
95+
If you want to force the input to have a default value on the Edit Page if the value is `null`, you should use the `formatStateUsing()` method:
96+
97+
```php
98+
TagsInput::make('tags')
99+
->formatStateUsing(fn (?array $state): array => blank($state) ? [
100+
'Laravel',
101+
'Livewire',
102+
'Filament',
103+
] : $state),
104+
```
105+
106+
## Error 3: Combining `options()` and `relationship()` Methods in Select Components
107+
108+
When using a [Select](https://filamentphp.com/docs/3.x/forms/fields/select) or [CheckboxList](https://filamentphp.com/docs/3.x/forms/fields/checkbox-list) component with a `relationship()`, avoid also defining `options()`. For instance:
109+
110+
```php
111+
Select::make('categories')
112+
->multiple()
113+
->preload()
114+
->relationship(
115+
name: 'categories',
116+
titleAttribute: 'name'
117+
)
118+
->options(Category::wherePublished(true)->pluck('name', 'id')), // Don't use this
119+
```
120+
### Why?
121+
The `relationship` method already fetches `options` from the database using relationship methods in your Eloquent models.
122+
123+
### Solution:
124+
Use the [modifyQueryUsing()](https://filamentphp.com/docs/3.x/forms/fields/select#customizing-the-relationship-query) method to customize the query:
125+
126+
```php
127+
Select::make('categories')
128+
->multiple()
129+
->preload()
130+
->relationship(
131+
name: 'categories',
132+
titleAttribute: 'name',
133+
modifyQueryUsing: fn (Builder $query): Builder => $query->wherePublished(true)),
134+
```
135+
136+
## Error 4: Incorrectly Using a Wizard Component in Resource Pages
137+
Using a [Wizard](https://filamentphp.com/docs/3.x/forms/layout/wizard) component directly in a Resource can result in both navigation and form buttons appearing simultaneously:
138+
139+
![Wizard example](https://github.com/leandrocfe/filament-articles/blob/main/form-builder/images/img5.png?raw=true)
140+
141+
### Why?
142+
The [Wizard](https://filamentphp.com/docs/3.x/forms/layout/wizard) component has its own navigation buttons.
143+
144+
### Solution:
145+
Use the `HasWizard` trait in your Resource Pages:
146+
147+
Create Page:
148+
```php
149+
use App\Filament\Resources\CategoryResource;
150+
use Filament\Resources\Pages\CreateRecord;
151+
152+
class CreateCategory extends CreateRecord
153+
{
154+
use CreateRecord\Concerns\HasWizard;
155+
156+
protected static string $resource = CategoryResource::class;
157+
158+
protected function getSteps(): array
159+
{
160+
return [
161+
// ...
162+
];
163+
}
164+
}
165+
```
166+
167+
Edit Page:
168+
```php
169+
use App\Filament\Resources\CategoryResource;
170+
use Filament\Resources\Pages\EditRecord;
171+
172+
class EditCategory extends EditRecord
173+
{
174+
use EditRecord\Concerns\HasWizard;
175+
176+
protected static string $resource = CategoryResource::class;
177+
178+
protected function getSteps(): array
179+
{
180+
return [
181+
// ...
182+
];
183+
}
184+
}
185+
```
186+
187+
To implement a [Wizard within an Action](https://filamentphp.com/docs/3.x/actions/prebuilt-actions/create#using-a-wizard), use the `steps()` method:
188+
189+
```php
190+
CreateAction::make()
191+
->steps([
192+
// ...
193+
]),
194+
```
195+
196+
This ensures proper functionality by displaying only the navigation buttons.
197+
198+
## Error 5: Forgetting Key Steps in Standalone Mode
199+
200+
Filament provides a [Standalone Mode](https://filamentphp.com/docs/3.x/forms/adding-a-form-to-a-livewire-component) to build forms.
201+
When using Filament's Standalone Mode in a Livewire component, missing [key steps](https://filamentphp.com/docs/3.x/forms/adding-a-form-to-a-livewire-component#adding-the-form) can cause unexpected behavior.
202+
For example:
203+
204+
```php
205+
class CreateCategory extends Component implements HasForms
206+
{
207+
use InteractsWithForms;
208+
209+
public ?array $data = [];
210+
211+
public function mount(): void
212+
{
213+
$this->form->fill(); // Important for initializing the form
214+
}
215+
216+
public function form(Form $form): Form
217+
{
218+
return $form
219+
->schema([
220+
TextInput::make('name'),
221+
TextInput::make('slug'),
222+
...
223+
])
224+
->statePath('data'); // Important for storing form data
225+
}
226+
...
227+
}
228+
```
229+
230+
### Solution:
231+
Ensure you are following these [key steps](https://filamentphp.com/docs/3.x/forms/adding-a-form-to-a-livewire-component#adding-the-form) when using **Standalone Mode**.
232+
233+
If you omit `statePath()`, ensure that [public properties](https://livewire.laravel.com/docs/properties) exist for each [Form Field](https://filamentphp.com/docs/3.x/forms/fields/getting-started):
234+
235+
```php
236+
class CreateCategory extends Component implements HasForms
237+
{
238+
use InteractsWithForms;
239+
240+
// Add public properties for each field in the form schema
241+
public ?string $name = null;
242+
public ?string $slug = null;
243+
...
244+
245+
public function mount(): void
246+
{
247+
$this->form->fill();
248+
}
249+
public function form(Form $form): Form
250+
{
251+
return $form
252+
->schema([
253+
TextInput::make('name'),
254+
TextInput::make('slug'),
255+
...
256+
]);
257+
}
258+
...
259+
}
260+
```
261+
262+
## Conclusion
263+
Avoiding these common errors will save you time and provide a smoother development experience with Filament.
264+
Additionally, it will deepen your understanding of Filament's features, enabling you to create more maintainable and reliable forms for your projects.
265+

Happy coding ;)
