Filament v4 is now Stable
It's a happy day for Laravel and Filament fans because Filament v4 is now stable. I took some time to have a look at the next major version of Filament and what it introduces and comment on some of my favourite things.
For a full write-up, the Filament team created this fantastic article:
One of my favourite additions has to be the addition of MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication). In today's world, security must be a priority when building applications and it's good to see the Filament team making it easier than ever before to secure your apps with MFA. Their implementation comes with both App level and email level authentication. You can even add custom MFA providers if needed!
Filament V4 comes with various performance improvements. Personally I've never had any issues with the performance you get out of Filament, but the team has been focusing on the number of files that get loaded along with the size of the files that still get loaded, which results in less HTML and thus, faster page loads.
Forms have received some love and we now have access to a shiny new rich editor, powered by TipTap. We also get a new slider component, code editor component and custom blocks.
I'm really looking forward to trying out the other features that Filament v4 brings!
