Feat discussion: configurable route name prefix

[lakuapik]

Atm filament hardcoded the route name prefix with filament

filament/packages/panels/routes/web.php

Line 11 in a1b7f45

Route::name('filament.')

Hi @danharrin hope you are doing well, just wondering, will filament team consider allowing us to configure it via config?

Sample use case: 1 single laravel app, 1 main panel, all pages use filament, then to simplify routes, strip all prefix on route path and route name.

Current route:list

And possibly also configure panel route name prefix here as well (instead of using panelId):

filament/packages/panels/routes/web.php

Line 25 in a1b7f45

->name("{$panelId}." . ((filled($domain) && (count($domains) > 1)) ? "{$domain}." : ''))

Ideal route:list

Hope this make sense, but if this is not possible, no worries, just drop/close this, thanks!

Not sure if this is related to #12446, but seems unresolved.

Hi, thanks for raising this.

In Filament, we automatically register routes for you. In many cases, these route names are dynamic and generated by the framework. They can also change between minor releases. As such, Filament doesn't have a backwards compatibility promise on route names, since they can change.

Because we don't ensure BC, I don't think anyone should be referencing Filament route names in their projects. the ::getUrl() helper functions on pages and resources allow you to generate URLs to them without knowing their route names.

As such, I don't see much point in allowing customisation of these things. What are your thoughts?

Hi @danharrin, sorry for late reply, but i think its fair if it is for compatibility. No worries then, cheers.

Hi, I came across a requirement where I need to reference the panel's name in some logics. In a healthcare management system I have separate dashboard for Doctors, Staff, Vendor etc. Based on the role(s) I need switch/redirect them. Currently I am using hardcoded urls for these.
This is not something urgent.., We all know filament's whole team is busy with v4.

Thanks

Like Filament::getUrl('admin') ?

[danharrin]

Filament::getUrl() will be the URL of the current or default panel. If you want a specific non-default panel, Filament::getPanel('admin')->getUrl() I think

[piyushdongre-dot-com]

Yes, this works. Filament::getPanel('admin')->getUrl()

[piyushdongre-dot-com]

Just a thought. May be this can be standarised in future to be in coherence with Laravel's named routes convention, to be used something like this for navigation

route(filament.<panel_id>)
route(filament.<panel_id>.<resource_name>.edit)
route(filament.<panel_id>.<page_name>)

Thanks
