Action Types

Standard CRUD Actions

use Filament\Actions;

// Create action
Actions\CreateAction::make()
    ->label('New Post')
    ->icon('heroicon-o-plus');

// Edit action
Actions\EditAction::make()
    ->label('Edit')
    ->icon('heroicon-o-pencil');

// View action
Actions\ViewAction::make()
    ->label('View Details')
    ->icon('heroicon-o-eye');

// Delete action
Actions\DeleteAction::make()
    ->requiresConfirmation()
    ->modalHeading('Delete post')
    ->modalDescription('Are you sure you want to delete this post? This action cannot be undone.')
    ->modalSubmitActionLabel('Yes, delete');

// Force delete (soft deletes)
Actions\ForceDeleteAction::make()
    ->requiresConfirmation();

// Restore (soft deletes)
Actions\RestoreAction::make();

Custom Actions with Modals

// Simple confirmation action
Actions\Action::make('publish')

    ->action(function (Model $record): void {
        $record->update(['status' => 'published', 'published_at' => now()]);

        Notification::make()
            ->title('Post published')
            ->success()

Output

Generated actions include:

1. Proper action type selection
2. Modal configurations
3. Form schemas for modal forms
