Filament Character Counter Laravel Package

Added

• showCharacterCounter(bool|Closure $condition = true) method to conditionally display the character counter on individual fields (#41, thanks @mediatorviolet)
• Central Kurdish (ckb) translation (#43, thanks @Hamoi1)

Notes

showCharacterCounter() was merged after the v5.0.1 tag and never released, which caused #50. This release ships it via Composer.

Full Changelog: https://github.com/schmeits/filament-character-counter/compare/v5.0.1...v5.1.0

## Fixed

- **characterLimit() is now a soft limit again** (#36): characterLimit() no longer enforces HTML maxlength or validation. Use maxLength() for hard enforcement, or combine both.

- Fixed test suite (removed obsolete BladeCaptureDirective dependency)

- Fixed PHPStan config (removed deprecated options)

What's New

✨ Added

• Filament v5 Support: Full compatibility with Filament v5 (Livewire v4) alongside v4
• Comprehensive Tests: Unit tests for all component types (TextInput, Textarea, RichEditor)
• Better Spacing: Proper spacing for RichEditor character counter

🐛 Fixed

RichEditor Character Counting - Complete refactor:

• Fixed JavaScript initialization errors
• Added all required Filament v4/v5 parameters with safe defaults
• Switched to direct DOM text content reading for accuracy
• Implemented Livewire.hook('commit') for reactive updates
• Character counter now updates in real-time while typing

HasCharacterLimit Trait:

• Automatically enforces HTML maxlength attribute
• Prevents paste overflow beyond character limit
• Ensures consistency between visual counter and enforcement

🔧 Technical Details

• RichEditor uses `$el.querySelector()` for DOM-based character counting
• Added `.fi-fo-rich-editor-wrapper` CSS class for proper spacing
• Textarea maxLength enforcement with Alpine.js watcher
• Views compatible with both Filament 4 and 5

Testing

Tested and working in:

• ✅ Filament v4 (Livewire v3)
• ✅ Filament v5 (Livewire v4)

All components (TextInput, Textarea, RichEditor) working correctly in both versions.
