Frequently asked questions about Tiles
- What is lara-zeus/tiles used for?
- It is a Laravel package that provides a collection of reusable dashboard tile components for presenting data elegantly in admin panels. The tiles can show stats, charts, or custom content, and they are composed through a clean API that fits the Filament and Livewire ecosystem. Teams typically use it to build dashboards without rebuilding card layouts for every metric.
- How do I install lara-zeus/tiles with Composer?
- Install it with composer require lara-zeus/tiles and check which version your project resolves to. Because version 3.0.0 targets Filament 5, the install will only succeed if your application already meets the matching Filament, Laravel, Livewire, and PHP requirements. Run the install on a branch and review any published assets or config before committing.
- Does lara-zeus/tiles support Filament 5?
- Yes, the 3.0.0 release line is described as adding support for Filament 5. That release is a major version, so it likely moved the package's Filament constraint to ^5.0 and may have dropped older Filament majors. Confirm the exact constraint in the package's composer.json before upgrading a production panel.
- What Laravel and PHP versions does lara-zeus/tiles require?
- The supported floors are driven by the Filament 5 requirement, so the package will inherit Filament's Laravel, Livewire, and PHP minimums. The 3.0.0 release note does not publish those numbers explicitly, so read the package composer.json and compare it with your application's constraints. Older Laravel or PHP applications will usually fail at Composer resolution rather than at runtime.
- How do I register lara-zeus/tiles in a Filament panel provider?
- It is designed as a Filament-style package, so registration typically happens in your panel provider's plugin or component configuration. Check the package service provider and any publishable config for the exact registration method used in 3.0.0, because the signature may have changed across the major version. After registering, verify the panel boots and the tiles render as expected.
- Can I build custom dashboard tiles with charts or custom content?
- Yes, the package is described as letting you compose admin panels from cards that show stats, charts, or custom content. Each tile is configured through the package API, which keeps layout and data presentation consistent across the dashboard. For highly custom visuals, inspect the published views and extend or override them rather than modifying vendor files.
- Is upgrading from lara-zeus/tiles 2.x to 3.0.0 a breaking change?
- Treat it as a breaking upgrade. A major version that adds Filament 5 support almost certainly changes the Filament constraint and may change namespaces, plugin registration, config keys, or published assets. The release note is only one line, so capture screenshots of current dashboards, upgrade on a spike branch, and diff rendered output before merging.
- How should I test lara-zeus/tiles in a Laravel application?
- Run the upgrade on a dedicated branch and keep a record of how your dashboards look and behave before the change. Exercise the Filament panel in a staging environment, checking tile rendering, data queries, and any published views or assets. Automated coverage helps, but admin panels are often under-tested, so a visual and behavioral comparison of each tile is worth doing.
- Is there a maintained 2.x branch of lara-zeus/tiles for Filament 3 or 4?
- The supplied information only confirms the 3.0.0 Filament 5 release line, so the maintenance status of older branches is not verified. Check the repository's branches, tags, and release history to see whether a 2.x line still receives fixes and for how long. If your project cannot move to Filament 5 yet, pinning the previous major and confirming an upgrade path is the safer plan.
- What are alternatives to lara-zeus/tiles for Laravel dashboards?
- If you are already on Filament, its built-in widgets and dashboard pages cover many stat and chart use cases without an extra package. Other options include general Laravel admin and dashboard packages, or custom Blade and Livewire components if you need full control. Compare maintenance activity, Filament version support, and how much of your dashboard layout you want the package to own.
