[ 06 Takeaways ](#takeaways) Why the Infolist API Exists --------------------------- Before Filament introduced the `Infolist` API, displaying a record's details meant either duplicating form schema into a disabled form or falling back to a custom Blade view. Both approaches break down fast: disabled forms carry validation baggage, and raw Blade views drift out of sync with your resource schema. The `Infolist` API gives you a first-class, composable, read-only rendering layer that mirrors the form schema API in structure but is purpose-built for display. This article focuses on the practical patterns that matter in production: custom entries, repeatable sections, and state-driven visibility. --- Registering an Infolist on a Resource ------------------------------------- Add `infolist()` to your `ViewRecord` page or directly on the resource: ```php // app/Filament/Resources/OrderResource.php public static function infolist(Infolist $infolist): Infolist { return $infolist->schema([ Section::make('Customer') ->columns(2) ->schema([ TextEntry::make('customer.name')->label('Name'), TextEntry::make('customer.email')->label('Email'), ]), Section::make('Financials') ->schema([ TextEntry::make('total_amount') ->money('USD') ->label('Total'), TextEntry::make('status') ->badge() ->color(fn (string $state): string => match ($state) { 'paid' => 'success', 'pending' => 'warning', default => 'danger', }), ]), ]); } ``` The `->badge()` modifier on `TextEntry` renders the value as a coloured pill — no custom Blade required. --- Building a Custom Entry ----------------------- When built-in entries aren't enough, extend `Entry` directly. Here's a `JsonTreeEntry` that renders a JSONB column as an indented key-value list: ```php // app/Filament/Infolists/Components/JsonTreeEntry.php namespace App\Filament\Infolists\Components; use Filament\Infolists\Components\Entry; class JsonTreeEntry extends Entry { protected string $view = 'filament.infolists.components.json-tree-entry'; public function getState(): array { $raw = parent::getState(); return is_array($raw) ? $raw : json_decode($raw, true) ?? []; } } ``` ```blade {{-- resources/views/filament/infolists/components/json-tree-entry.blade.php --}} @foreach ($getState() as $key => $value) {{ $key }}: {{ $value }} @endforeach ``` Register it as a static factory method for ergonomics: ```php JsonTreeEntry::make('meta')->label('Metadata'), ``` --- Repeatable Sections for HasMany Relations ----------------------------------------- `RepeatableEntry` iterates a relationship and renders a schema for each child record: ```php use Filament\Infolists\Components\RepeatableEntry; RepeatableEntry::make('lineItems') ->label('Line Items') ->schema([ TextEntry::make('product.name')->label('Product'), TextEntry::make('quantity'), TextEntry::make('unit_price')->money('USD'), ]) ->columns(3), ``` Filament eager-loads the relationship automatically when the infolist is resolved, so there's no N+1 concern here as long as the relationship is declared on the model. --- Conditional Visibility Tied to Eloquent State --------------------------------------------- Use `->visible()` or `->hidden()` with a closure that receives the record state: ```php TextEntry::make('refund_reason') ->label('Refund Reason') ->visible(fn (Order $record): bool => $record->status === 'refunded'), Section::make('Fraud Flags') ->schema([ TextEntry::make('fraud_score'), TextEntry::make('flagged_at')->dateTime(), ]) ->hidden(fn (Order $record): bool => ! $record->is_flagged), ``` The closure receives the full Eloquent model, so you can call any method or accessor — no need to push display logic into the controller. --- Takeaways --------- - The `Infolist` API is a dedicated read-only layer; don't repurpose disabled forms for detail views. - Custom entries need only a view and an optional `getState()` override — the wrapper component handles label, help text, and layout automatically. - `RepeatableEntry` handles `HasMany` relationships cleanly; Filament manages eager loading. - `->visible()` / `->hidden()` closures receive the Eloquent record, keeping conditional display logic close to the schema definition. - Badge colours on `TextEntry` are resolved per-row via closures, making status indicators trivial to implement without custom columns.

Not directly — form components and infolist entries are separate class hierarchies. However, you can extract shared configuration (labels, column counts) into static methods on the resource and call them from both `form()` and `infolist()` to reduce duplication. Q02 Does RepeatableEntry trigger N+1 queries for nested relationships? Filament resolves the relationship through Eloquent's standard eager loading when it hydrates the infolist record. As long as the relationship is defined on the model, Filament will load it in a single query. For deeply nested relations, add explicit `->with()` calls in your resource's `getEloquentQuery()` method. Q03 How do I add actions (like a copy button) inside a custom entry? Custom entries can render any Blade, including Livewire-compatible Alpine components. For a copy button, add an Alpine `x-on:click` that writes to the clipboard inside your entry view. Full Filament actions inside infolist entries require using `Actions\Action` registered on the infolist itself via `->headerActions()` or `->footerActions()` on a Section.
