#EditorialTheme Start Kit Filament 3.x and Laravel 13.x

Buy Me A Coffee

#About EditorialTheme

EditorialTheme is a robust starter kit built on Laravel 13.x and Filament 3.x, designed to accelerate the development of modern web applications with a ready-to-use multi-panel structure, styled with the Editorial Terminal theme: paper + terminal aesthetic, Fraunces / DM Sans / JetBrains Mono typography, amber palette, light and dark schemes and a terminal-style login.

#Features

  • Laravel 13.x - The latest version of the most elegant PHP framework
  • Filament 3.x - Powerful and flexible admin framework
  • Multi-Panel Structure - Includes three pre-configured panels:
    • Admin Panel (/admin) - For system administrators
    • App Panel (/app) - For authenticated application users
    • Public Panel (frontend interface) - For visitors
  • Editorial Terminal Theme - jeffersongoncalves/filament-editorial-theme on every panel, with the terminal login (and its light/dark toggle) on the Admin and App panels
  • Environment Configuration - Centralized configuration through the config/editorialtheme.php file

#System Requirements

  • PHP 8.2 or higher
  • Composer
  • Node.js and PNPM

#Installation

Clone the repository

laravel new my-app --using=jeffersongoncalves/editorialthemev3 --database=mysql

#Using FilaKit CLI

Or use FilaKit CLI for a simplified setup:

filakit new my-app --kit=jeffersongoncalves/editorialthemev3

Install FilaKit CLI: composer global require jeffersongoncalves/filakit-cli

#Easy Installation

EditorialTheme can be easily installed using the following command:

php install.php

This command automates the installation process by:

  • Installing Composer dependencies
  • Setting up the environment file
  • Generating application key
  • Setting up the database
  • Running migrations
  • Installing Node.js dependencies
  • Building assets
  • Configuring Herd (if used)

#Manual Installation

Install JavaScript dependencies

pnpm install

Install Composer dependencies

composer install

Set up environment

cp .env.example .env
php artisan key:generate

Configure your database in the .env file

Run migrations

php artisan migrate

Build frontend assets

pnpm run build

Run the server

php artisan serve

#Installation with Docker

Clone the repository

laravel new my-app --using=jeffersongoncalves/editorialthemev3 --database=mysql

Move into the project directory

cd my-app

Install Composer dependencies

composer install

Set up environment

cp .env.example .env

Configuring custom ports may be necessary if you have other services running on the same ports.

# Application Port (ex: 8080)
APP_PORT=8080

# MySQL Port (ex: 3306)
FORWARD_DB_PORT=3306

# Redis Port (ex: 6379)
FORWARD_REDIS_PORT=6379

# Mailpit Port (ex: 1025)
FORWARD_MAILPIT_PORT=1025

Start the Sail containers

./vendor/bin/sail up -d

You won’t need to run php artisan serve, as Laravel Sail automatically handles the development server within the container.

Attach to the application container

./vendor/bin/sail shell

Generate the application key

php artisan key:generate

Install JavaScript dependencies

pnpm install

#Editorial Terminal Theme — jeffersongoncalves/filament-editorial-theme

All three panels use jeffersongoncalves/filament-editorial-theme:

  • EditorialThemePlugin::make() is registered in each panel provider (the App panel keeps its green accent via ->primaryColor(Color::Green)).
  • Each panel's resources/css/filament/{panel}/theme.css imports Filament's theme, then the editorial theme, and its tailwind.config.js includes the theme's views in content so Tailwind keeps the utilities its partials use.
  • The Admin and App logins (app/Filament/{Admin,App}/Pages/Auth/Login.php) extend the filament-admin / filament-user logins — so inactive accounts are still rejected — and only swap in the theme's terminal view, with a light/dark toggle next to the clock.

Customize it from the plugin (footer, sidebar status, fonts, paper grain…) or by overriding the theme's CSS tokens below the @import in each panel's theme.css — see the theme's README.

#Authentication Structure

EditorialTheme comes pre-configured with a custom authentication system that supports different types of users:

  • Admin - For administrative panel access
  • User - For application panel access

#Development

# Run the development server with logs, queues and asset compilation
composer dev

# Or run each component separately
php artisan serve
php artisan queue:listen --tries=1
pnpm run dev

#Customization

#Panel Configuration

Panels can be customized through their respective providers:

  • app/Providers/Filament/AdminPanelProvider.php
  • app/Providers/Filament/AppPanelProvider.php
  • app/Providers/Filament/PublicPanelProvider.php

Alternatively, these settings are also consolidated in the config/editorialtheme.php file for easier management.

#Themes and Colors

Each panel can have its own color scheme, which can be easily modified in the corresponding Provider files or in the editorialtheme.php configuration file.

#Configuration File

The config/editorialtheme.php file centralizes the configuration of the starter kit, including:

  • Panel routes
  • Middleware for each panel
  • Branding options (logo, colors)
  • Authentication guards

#Developer Logins — dutchcodingcompany/filament-developer-logins

Quick-login buttons are enabled on the Admin and App panels for local development. The list is built dynamically from the database, restricted to active records (status = true).

  • Admin panel (app/Providers/Filament/AdminPanelProvider.php): pulls from App\Models\Admin.
  • App panel (app/Providers/Filament/AppPanelProvider.php): pulls from App\Models\User.
  • Both panels are gated by app()->environment('local'), so the buttons never appear in staging/production.

To change the column shown on the buttons, edit the ->users(...) closure in each provider (for example, swap pluck('email', 'name') for pluck('email', 'email')).
