Filament Goto View

Navigate from your PHP code directly to Blade view files in Filament PHP projects — with a single click.

✨ Features

🔗 Click-to-Navigate

Ctrl+Click (or Cmd+Click on macOS) on any $view property string to instantly open the corresponding Blade file.

// Before: You manually search for the file...
// After: Just Ctrl+Click on the string!
protected static string $view = 'filament.pages.dashboard';
//                                ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
//                                Click here → opens resources/views/filament/pages/dashboard.blade.php

🔴 Real-Time View Validation

The extension validates view paths in real-time. If a Blade file doesn't exist at the expected path, the view string is underlined in red with a clear error message — no need to run your app to find broken views.

💡 Intelligent Autocomplete

Get instant suggestions for all available Blade views while typing inside $view = '...'. The extension scans your resources/views directory and presents view names in Laravel dot notation — so you never have to remember exact paths.

protected static string $view = '|';  // ← Start typing, get suggestions!
//  filament.pages.dashboard
//  filament.pages.settings
//  filament.widgets.stats-overview
//  ...

Triggers automatically on ', ", and . characters.

🛠️ Quick Fix — Create Missing View

When a view file doesn't exist, the extension not only shows an error — it offers a Quick Fix to create the file instantly. Just click the 💡 lightbulb (or press Ctrl+.) and select "Create view '...'".

The generated file includes a ready-to-use Filament page template:

<x-filament-panels::page>
    {{-- Page content --}}
</x-filament-panels::page>

• ✅ Creates all intermediate directories automatically
• ✅ Opens the new file in the editor
• ✅ Never overwrites existing files

⚙️ Fully Configurable

Works out of the box with standard Laravel projects, but easily adapts to custom setups:

📦 Installation

1. Open VS Code
2. Go to the Extensions view (Ctrl+Shift+X)
3. Search for Filament Goto View
4. Click Install

Or install via the command line:

code --install-extension Ronefel.filament-goto-view

🚀 Usage

1. Open any PHP file in your Filament project
2. Find a line with $view = 'some.view.path'
3. Hold Ctrl (or Cmd on macOS) and click on the view string
4. The corresponding Blade file opens instantly

If the view file doesn't exist, you'll see a red underline with an error diagnostic — helping you catch typos and missing files before they cause runtime errors.

5. Click the 💡 lightbulb or press Ctrl+. on a missing view to create the file instantly with a default template

⚙️ Configuration

Open your VS Code settings (Ctrl+,) and search for "Filament Goto View" to customize the extension behavior.

Monorepo / Subfolder Setup

If your Laravel project lives in a subdirectory (e.g., backend/), configure:

{
  "filament-goto-view.projectSubFolder": "backend"
}

Custom Views Directory

If your views are located in a non-standard directory:

{
  "filament-goto-view.viewPath": "src/resources/views"
}

🧩 How It Works

The extension scans PHP files for $view = '...' patterns and:

1. Converts Laravel dot notation (e.g., filament.pages.user) to a file path (filament/pages/user.blade.php)
2. Resolves the full path using the workspace root + configured settings
3. Creates clickable links if the file exists
4. Reports diagnostics if the file is missing
5. Offers a Quick Fix to create the view file with a default Filament template

📋 Requirements

• VS Code 1.107.0 or higher
• A Laravel project using Filament PHP

🐛 Known Issues

• The extension only detects $view = '...' patterns. Other Filament view references (like view() calls) are not yet supported.
