What’s New in Version 2

Custom Fields v2 is a major upgrade that brings significant improvements while maintaining the core philosophy: no more migrations for custom fields. This version introduces enhanced performance, better developer experience, and more powerful field types.

​
Key Improvements

  • 50% faster field rendering with optimized caching
  • New field types: JSON, Rich Editor, Code Editor
  • Better validation with custom rule builders
  • Improved UI/UX with drag-and-drop field ordering
  • TypeScript support for better IDE integration
  • Backward compatible upgrade path from v1

​

​
The Traditional Way vs. Custom Fields

​
Before: The Migration Cycle

Every new field request means:
  1. Writing a migration
  2. Testing database changes
  3. Coordinating deployments
  4. Hoping nothing breaks in production

​
After: Two Lines of Code

// 1. Add to your model
class Product extends Model implements HasCustomFields
{
    use UsesCustomFields;
}

// 2. Add to your Filament resource
public function form(Schema $schema): Schema
{
    return $schema->components([
        // Your existing fields...
        ...CustomFields::form()->forSchema($schema)->columns(),
    ]);
}
That’s it. Your users can now add unlimited custom fields through the admin panel - no migrations, no deployments, no developer intervention.
