#Requirements

  • PHP 8.2+
  • Node.js (for Puppeteer)
  • pnpm
  • Composer
  • Composer

#How It Works

  1. Init - Analyzes your plugin's composer.json and Resources to generate a config
  2. Setup - Creates a temporary Filament project using filakit, installs your plugin via symlink
  3. Seed - Auto-detects Filament Resources, maps fields to Faker methods, generates factories and seeders
  4. Capture - Launches Puppeteer, logs into Filament, navigates to each URL, captures screenshots in light and dark themes
  5. Readme - Updates your README.md between <!-- SCREENSHOTS --> markers with a table or gallery

#Auto-Seed Field Mapping

Filament Component Faker Method
TextInput('name') $faker->name()
TextInput('email') $faker->safeEmail()
TextInput('title') $faker->sentence(4)
TextInput()->numeric() $faker->numberBetween(0, 100)
Textarea $faker->paragraph()
RichEditor $faker->paragraph() (wrapped in HTML)
Toggle / Checkbox $faker->boolean()
Select('..._id') FK to related model
Select->options([...]) Random from options
DatePicker $faker->date()
DateTimePicker $faker->dateTime()
ColorPicker $faker->hexColor()
