Other Column Types

#Boolean Columns

Boolean columns are good if you have a column type that is a true/false, or 0/1 value.

For example:

BooleanColumn::make('Active')

Would yield:

#Using your own view

If you don't want to use the default view and icons you can set your own:

BooleanColumn::make('Active')
    ->setView('my.active.view')

You will have access to $component, $status, and $successValue.

To help you better understand, this is the Tailwind implementation of BooleanColumn:

@if ($status)
    <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" class="inline-block h-5 w-5 @if ($successValue === true) text-green-500 @else text-red-500 @endif" fill="none" viewBox="0 0 24 24" stroke="currentColor">
        <path stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" stroke-width="2" d="M9 12l2 2 4-4m6 2a9 9 0 11-18 0 9 9 0 0118 0z" />
    </svg>
@else
    <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" class="inline-block h-5 w-5 @if ($successValue === false) text-green-500 @else text-red-500 @endif" fill="none" viewBox="0 0 24 24" stroke="currentColor">
        <path stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" stroke-width="2" d="M10 14l2-2m0 0l2-2m-2 2l-2-2m2 2l2 2m7-2a9 9 0 11-18 0 9 9 0 0118 0z" />
    </svg>
@endif

#Setting the truthy value

If you want the false value to be the green option, you can set:

BooleanColumn::make('Active')
    ->setSuccessValue(false); // Makes false the 'successful' option

That would swap the colors of the icons in the image above.

#Setting the status value

By default, the $status is set to:

(bool)$value === true

You can override this functionality:

BooleanColumn::make('Active')
    // Note: Parameter `$row` available as of v2.4
    ->setCallback(function(string $value, $row) {
        // Figure out what makes $value true
    }),

#Different types of boolean display

By default, the BooleanColumn displays icons.

If you would like the BooleanColumn to display a plain Yes/No, you can set:

BooleanColumn::make('Active')
    ->yesNo()

#Image Columns

Image columns provide a way to display images in your table without having to use format() or partial views:

ImageColumn::make('Avatar')
    ->location(
        fn($row) => storage_path('app/public/avatars/' . $row->id . '.jpg')
    ),

You may also pass an array of attributes to apply to the image tag:

ImageColumn::make('Avatar')
    ->location(
        fn($row) => storage_path('app/public/avatars/' . $row->id . '.jpg')
    )
    ->attributes(fn($row) => [
        'class' => 'rounded-full',
        'alt' => $row->name . ' Avatar',
    ]),

#Link Columns

Link columns provide a way to display HTML links in your table without having to use format() or partial views:

LinkColumn::make('Action')
    ->title(fn($row) => 'Edit')
    ->location(fn($row) => route('admin.users.edit', $row)),

You may also pass an array of attributes to apply to the a tag:

LinkColumn::make('Action')
    ->title(fn($row) => 'Edit')
    ->location(fn($row) => route('admin.users.edit', $row))
    ->attributes(fn($row) => [
        'class' => 'rounded-full',
        'alt' => $row->name . ' Avatar',
    ]),

#Button Group Columns

Button group columns let you provide an array of LinkColumns to display in a single cell.

ButtonGroupColumn::make('Actions')
    ->attributes(function($row) {
        return [
            'class' => 'space-x-2',
        ];
    })
    ->buttons([
        LinkColumn::make('View') // make() has no effect in this case but needs to be set anyway
            ->title(fn($row) => 'View ' . $row->name)
            ->location(fn($row) => route('user.show', $row))
            ->attributes(function($row) {
                return [
                    'class' => 'underline text-blue-500 hover:no-underline',
                ];
            }),
        LinkColumn::make('Edit')
            ->title(fn($row) => 'Edit ' . $row->name)
            ->location(fn($row) => route('user.edit', $row))
            ->attributes(function($row) {
                return [
                    'target' => '_blank',
                    'class' => 'underline text-blue-500 hover:no-underline',
                ];
            }),
    ]),

#Component Columns

Component columns let you specify a component name and attributes and provides the column value to the slot.

// Before
Column::make("Email", "email")
    ->format(function ($value) {
        return view('components.alert')
            ->with('attributes', new ComponentAttributeBag([
                'type' => Str::endsWith($value, 'example.org') ? 'success' : 'danger',
                'dismissible' => true,
            ]))
            ->with('slot', $value);
    }),

// After
ComponentColumn::make('E-mail', 'email')
    ->component('email')
    ->attributes(fn ($value, $row, Column $column) => [
        'type' => Str::endsWith($value, 'example.org') ? 'success' : 'danger',
        'dismissible' => true,
    ]),
