Filament Environment

A small Laravel package that adds a vertical colored bar to the left edge of every Filament panel page, showing the current App::environment() value. Useful for instantly knowing whether you are looking at local, staging, or production when juggling multiple tabs.

Supports Filament v3, v4 and v5.

Installation

composer require learnkit/filament-environment

The service provider is auto-discovered via extra.laravel.providers, so no further wiring is required.

Configuration

Publish the config file if you want to customise the colors:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=config --provider="LearnKit\FilamentEnvironment\FilamentEnvironmentServiceProvider"

Or simply create config/filament-environment.php with the keys you want to override — the package uses mergeConfigFrom, so partial overrides work.

return [
    'mapping' => [
        'local'      => '#FFDB58',
        'dev'        => '#FFDB58',
        'staging'    => '#D2042D',
        'prod'       => '#4169E1',
        'production' => '#4169E1',
    ],

    'production' => [
        'prod', 'production',
    ],
];

• mapping — maps the value returned by App::environment() to a hex color. If the current environment is not in the map, the first entry is used as fallback.
• production — a list of environment names you consider "production". The package itself does not act on this; it is exposed so consumers can read it via config('filament-environment.production').

Conditionally hiding the bar

Use the static gate() method (e.g. from AppServiceProvider::boot()) to control when the bar should render. The gate runs on every request inside Filament::serving(), so you can rely on runtime state like the authenticated user:

use LearnKit\FilamentEnvironment\FilamentEnvironment;

FilamentEnvironment::gate(fn () => auth()->user()?->isAdmin() ?? false);

When no gate is set, the bar is always shown.

How it works

On Filament::serving() the service provider registers a PanelsRenderHook::BODY_START hook that renders resources/views/bar.blade.php. Because BODY_START is panel-agnostic, the bar appears in every Filament panel without per-panel plugin registration. The view also injects a small amount of inline CSS to give .fi-layout a padding-left so the panel content does not sit underneath the bar.
