- What is martin6363/filament-click-spark and what does it do?
- It is a Composer package that adds ReactBits-inspired click spark particle effects to Filament admin panels. When users click in the panel, the plugin renders small spark-like particles as visual feedback. It is intended as a lightweight UI enhancement for Laravel applications using Filament.
- How do I install filament-click-spark in a Laravel Filament project?
- Install the package with Composer using composer require martin6363/filament-click-spark. Then follow the README to register the plugin in your Filament panel provider and publish any assets or configuration if required. After registration, clear your Laravel and Filament caches and reload the admin panel.
- Which Laravel and Filament versions are supported by filament-click-spark?
- Version support depends on the package constraints and the Filament version you are using. Check the composer.json and README in the GitHub repository for the exact Laravel and Filament compatibility matrix. Because Filament plugin APIs can change between major versions, verify compatibility before adding it to an existing project.
- How do I register or enable the click spark plugin in a Filament panel?
- Filament plugins are typically registered inside your PanelProvider, usually within the panel configuration method. The README shows the exact plugin class and registration snippet for this package. Add that registration only to the panels where you want the click spark effect to appear.
- Can I customize the spark colors, particle count, or animation?
- Customization depends on the options exposed by the package, which are documented in the README. If the package provides a publishable config file, publish it and adjust settings such as particle count, colors, or animation duration there. If no config is available, you may need to override the frontend assets or fork the package for deeper changes.
- Does filament-click-spark work in production and will it affect performance?
- It is a frontend visual effect, so its runtime cost is usually small when particle counts and animation durations are modest. Test the effect on lower-end devices and consider disabling it for users who prefer reduced motion. It should not affect backend business logic, but always verify assets load correctly in your production build.
- Is filament-click-spark compatible with dark mode and custom Filament themes?
- Because the sparks are rendered as a frontend effect, they generally work in both light and dark modes as long as the colors contrast with your panel background. If spark colors are configurable, choose values that remain visible in your custom theme. Check the README for any theme-specific notes or CSS variables.
- How can I disable click sparks on specific Filament pages or panels?
- The simplest approach is to register the plugin only in the panel providers where you want the effect enabled. If you need page-level control, check the README for conditional registration or configuration options. Without built-in page-level controls, you may need to customize the plugin or conditionally load its assets.
- How do I test whether filament-click-spark is working correctly?
- After installing and registering the plugin, clear your Laravel and Filament caches, then open the admin panel and click in an area where sparks should appear. Use the browser developer console to confirm there are no JavaScript errors and that the package assets are loaded. Visual effects like this are usually verified manually rather than through automated tests.
- Are there alternatives to filament-click-spark, and is the package maintained?
- Alternatives include implementing your own Alpine.js or CSS animation effects, or using other Filament UI enhancement plugins. To judge maintenance, review the GitHub repository for recent commits, releases, and open issues. Since this is a small visual package, you can also fork it or recreate the effect directly in your panel theme if needed.
