(upbeat music) If you've made it all the way to this video, you've made it to the end, congratulations. I hope you enjoyed building with me as we explored Filament 5. Now, there's a few things I wanna leave you with as you go. So number one, Filament 5 as I'm recording is selling data, but this is the early version of the new homepage for Filament. So this is really great.

of the new homepage for Filament. So this is really great. I just wanna give you a little bit of an understanding of what it's gonna look like moving forward. We reference the docs a lot in this video, and I actually wanna show you what the docs will look like here as you move forward into Filament 5. So it's very similar in the layout, but just a little bit of a nicer design. Everything's great here.

but just a little bit of a nicer design. Everything's great here. The other things I wanna share with you as you move forward are some things that aren't ready on Filament 5, but if we go back to the Filament 4 website, we have articles, and this is really important. As a Filament user, I'm checking in here constantly. There's not a large number of posts, maybe about once a month or once every two months,

There's not a large number of posts, maybe about once a month or once every two months, but this is where you get all the really good information about what's coming next when Filament 3.1, 3.2, 4.0, 4.1, 5.0, all these launches are here. And if you read through some of these, like if you look at what was new in Filament 4, this just gives you a really great overview of all the different things that are coming in the next release.

of all the different things that are coming in the next release. And Filament is so big and so deep, you can't possibly just know everything by looking at the code or seeing what methods are available or even reading through the docs, they're so big. So coming to this content page is really nice to keep yourself up to date of what's new in Filament. The other thing I want to share is the plugins page. Now at the time of this recording, almost 600 plugins,

The other thing I want to share is the plugins page. Now at the time of this recording, almost 600 plugins, and this is actually just the ones that are registered on the Filament site. There are other plugins if you just put a plugin on GitHub and never did a PR to the Filament docs site or site repo. I'm not sure exactly where that goes, but there are more plugins than this. And some of these things are really nice. Some of them are paid, most of them are free.

And some of these things are really nice. Some of them are paid, most of them are free. If you look at the free, there's 258 free results, 48 paid. So I'm not sure what the numbers are doing with this 594. Some of those might be on older versions, 'cause right now this is just looking at V4. So I think some of those were plugins for V3 or V2. But there are so many things that come out of the box with Filament. There's also so many things,

with Filament. There's also so many things, just like a normal Laravel app that you can do to get a plugin and get going really, really quickly. So I do encourage you to look through here, to look through the documentation, explore some of the things we didn't get to. The big thing that I didn't get to, and if you wanna take some homework away, is there are importers and exporters.

and if you wanna take some homework away, is there are importers and exporters. And this was new, I think in Filament 3.1. But these things, I use them all the time in my apps, because my users are constantly wanting to import or export data. And this is a really nice way to do it, and it comes right out of the box with Filament. So that would be your homework, if you're looking to continue learning more about Filament.

So that would be your homework, if you're looking to continue learning more about Filament. We also didn't cover widgets at all in this course, but they haven't really changed from Filament 3. So if you're interested in that, I would go back to that original Filament 3 course on LaraCast. Thank you again for joining me on this journey. Filament 5 is so great, I use it every single day at work,

Filament 5 is so great, I use it every single day at work, and I hope you found a way to use it as well.
