# FilamentPHP Tables Generation Skill

## Overview

This skill generates FilamentPHP v4 table configurations with columns, filters, actions, and bulk operations following official documentation patterns.

## Documentation Reference

**CRITICAL:** Before generating tables, read:
- `/home/mwguerra/projects/mwguerra/claude-code-plugins/filament-specialist/skills/docs/references/tables/`
- `/home/mwguerra/projects/mwguerra/claude-code-plugins/filament-specialist/skills/docs/references/tables/02-columns/`
- `/home/mwguerra/projects/mwguerra/claude-code-plugins/filament-specialist/skills/docs/references/tables/03-filters/`

## Workflow

### Step 1: Analyze Requirements

Identify:
- Columns to display
- Searchable fields
- Sortable fields
- Filter requirements
- Row actions
- Bulk actions
- Relationships to display

### Step 2: Read Documentation

Navigate to table documentation and extract:
- Column class names and options
- Filter configurations
- Action patterns
- Performance considerations

### Step 3: Generate Table

Build table configuration:

```php
use Filament\Tables;
use Filament\Tables\Table;

public static function table(Table $table): Table
{
    return $table
        ->columns([
            // Columns
        ])
        ->filters([
            // Filters
        ])
        ->actions([
            // Row actions
        ])
        ->bulkActions([
            // Bulk actions
        ]);
}
```

        // Striped rows
        ->striped()

        // Poll for updates
        ->poll('10s')

        // Empty state
        ->emptyStateHeading('No posts yet')
        ->emptyStateDescription('Create your first post to get started.')
        ->emptyStateIcon('heroicon-o-document-text')
        ->emptyStateActions([
            Tables\Actions\CreateAction::make()
                ->label('Create Post'),
        ])

        // Modals
        ->modals([
            'view' => true,
        ])

        // Persist filters
        ->filtersFormColumns(3)
        ->persistFiltersInSession();
}
```

## Output

Generated tables include:
1. Complete column configuration
2. Search and sort settings
3. Filter definitions
4. Row and bulk actions
5. Relationship handling
6. Performance optimizations
