No cron syntax knowledge required, no JS bundle - the compose/parse logic lives in PHP. `CronBuilder::make('schedule')` is a drop-in replacement for a `TextInput` bound to a cron column: its saved state is a standard 5-field cron string. ``` */15 4,12,20 * * 1-5 -> "Every 15 minutes At 04:00... on Monday-Friday" ``` Features -------- [](#features) - 5 positions - minute, hour, day-of-month, month, day-of-week. - Each position has a mode: **Every** (`*`), **Specific** (`1,15,30` - toggle chips, no Ctrl-click), **Range** (`1-5,10-12` - multiple ranges, a new row appears as you fill the last one), **Step** (`*/15`). - Two layouts: side-by-side **grid** (default) or compact **tabs** - per field or via config. - Live human-readable preview + raw expression + optional next-run date. - Round-trips: editing a record parses the existing string back into the columns. - All compose/parse/validation logic is plain, unit-tested PHP. - Styles ship as a small plain-CSS file through `FilamentAsset` - no Tailwind build or theme configuration required. Compatibility ------------- [](#compatibility) PackageFilamentLivewireLaravelPHP1.1+4.x / 5.x3.x (F4) / 4.x (F5)12, 138.2+ (Laravel 13 needs 8.3+)1.04.x3.x11, 128.2+Livewire is not a direct dependency - the correct major is pulled in by the Filament version you install. Installation ------------ [](#installation) ``` composer require interwal-net/filament-visual-cron-builder ``` The service provider is auto-discovered. Optionally publish config and views: ``` php artisan vendor:publish --tag=cron-builder-config php artisan vendor:publish --tag=cron-builder-views ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) ``` use InterwalNet\CronBuilder\CronBuilder; CronBuilder::make('schedule') ->showNextRun() // toggle the next-run preview (default: from config) ->layout('tabs') // 'grid' (default) or 'tabs'; default from config ->showTabTokens() // tabs only: show each position's cron token in its tab ->required(); ``` The field is `live()` by default so the preview recomputes on every change. `->live()`, `->afterStateUpdated()` and the other state binding modifiers work like on any Filament field: ``` CronBuilder::make('schedule') ->live(debounce: 500) // or ->live(onBlur: true), ->live(condition: false) ->afterStateUpdated(function (CronBuilder $component) { // While editing, the state is the 5-column array; use the helper to // get the composed cron string: $cron = $component->getComposedExpression(); }); ``` Validate the saved string anywhere with the bundled rule: ``` use InterwalNet\CronBuilder\Rules\ValidCronExpression; $request->validate([ 'schedule' => ['required', new ValidCronExpression], ]); ``` The core helper --------------- [](#the-core-helper) `InterwalNet\CronBuilder\Support\CronExpressionBuilder` is standalone and testable: ``` use InterwalNet\CronBuilder\Support\CronExpressionBuilder as Cron; Cron::parse('*/15 4,12,20 * * 1-5'); // -> 5 column states Cron::compose($columns); // -> '*/15 4,12,20 * * 1-5' Cron::humanReadable('30 4 * * 1-5'); // -> 'At 04:30 on Monday-Friday' Cron::isValid('30 4 * * 1-5'); // -> true ``` Demo ---- [](#demo) A bootable Filament panel lives in `workbench/` (via Testbench). It exposes a `ScheduleResource` using `CronBuilder`, seeded with sample expressions. ``` composer serve ``` Then open and log in with: - email: `demo@example.com` - password: `password` Edit the "Every 15 min, business hours" record (`*/15 4,12,20 * * 1-5`) to see the columns parse back from an existing string.
