Filament Survey Laravel Package

Product Decisions This Supports

• Internal Tooling for Customer Feedback: Accelerate development of a Filament-admin-powered survey system for internal teams (e.g., product, support, or CS) to collect structured feedback without building from scratch, now with native support for Filament 3.2+ and Laravel 12.
• Roadmap Prioritization: Justify buying vs. building by leveraging a pre-built solution with translatable/sortable surveys, reducing dev time by ~60% (vs. custom Laravel Survey + Filament integration), now with official compatibility for the latest Laravel/Filament stack.
• Use Cases:
  • B2B SaaS: Embed surveys in admin panels for customer onboarding feedback, now with guaranteed compatibility for Laravel 12 and Filament 3.2+.
  • Market Research: Replace manual Excel/Google Forms with a self-service survey dashboard for non-technical teams, ensuring no integration friction with the latest ecosystem.
  • A/B Testing: Track survey responses alongside user segments (via Filament’s query builder), now future-proofed for Laravel 12’s improvements.
• Monetization: If selling survey tools, this could be a white-label plugin for resale (low-risk MVP), now with explicit support for modern Laravel stacks.
• Compliance: Add GDPR/CCPA-friendly survey management (e.g., anonymization, data retention policies) via Filament’s built-in features, without versioning conflicts in Laravel 12.

When to Consider This Package

• Adopt if:
  • Your team uses Filament 3.2+ and needs survey admin panels (not frontend forms) with Laravel 12 compatibility.
  • You require multi-language surveys (translatable fields) or drag-and-drop survey ordering (sortable) in a modern Laravel stack.
  • You’re time-constrained (installation takes <30 mins vs. weeks of custom dev) and need official support for the latest ecosystem.
  • You need Excel export/import for surveys/responses (via maatwebsite/excel) in a Laravel 12 environment.
• Look elsewhere if:
  • You need frontend survey forms (use Laravel Survey standalone or FormKit).
  • Your stack isn’t Laravel 12+ or Filament 3.2+ (this release drops older versions).
  • You require advanced analytics (e.g., real-time dashboards)—pair with Filament Charts or Laravel Nova.
  • You need offline survey collection (mobile apps would require additional layers).
  • Your surveys are highly dynamic (e.g., conditional logic beyond Laravel Survey’s scope).

How to Pitch It (Stakeholders)

For Executives:

"This plugin now officially supports Laravel 12 and Filament 3.2+, letting us launch a survey admin tool in days—not months—while cutting dev costs by 60%. It’s like adding a ‘Surveys’ tab to our admin panel with multi-language support, Excel exports, and drag-and-drop ordering, all while ensuring zero compatibility risks with our modern stack. Low risk: it’s battle-tested (30+ stars) and built on Laravel Survey, which powers live projects. No more versioning headaches—this is future-proof."

For Engineering:

*"This is a drop-in Filament plugin for Laravel Survey (now Filament 3.2+/Laravel 12-compatible) that adds:

• Admin resources for surveys/questions/responses (no CRUD boilerplate).
• Translatable fields (via Tapp’s fork) for global teams.
• Sortable surveys (drag-and-drop ordering).
• Excel import/export for bulk management. Key Update: Official Laravel 12/Filament 3.2+ support—no more workarounds or deprecated dependencies. Tradeoffs:
• Frontend forms aren’t included (use Laravel Survey’s views or a separate package).
• Analytics are basic (extend with Filament Charts or a dedicated package). Recommendation: Use for internal tools where admin management > frontend UX. For public surveys, pair with Laravel Survey’s frontend. No migration pain—just install and go."*
