Filament Gaze: Show When Multiple Users View the Same Resource image

Filament Gaze is a plugin for Filament PHP that allows you to display when other users view the same resource. This plugin provides a nice API to make a simple banner or even allow authorized users to take control of a locked page. Here's the most basic example of using Gaze with a form:

public static function form(Form $form): Form
{
return $form
->schema([
GazeBanner::make(),
 
// ...
]);
}

Main features:

  • Quickly display when other users are on the same resource
  • Configurable poll time to determine how often it should inform Filament and get a list of users still viewing the page
  • Lock a resource
  • Allow lock overrides, supporting custom logic
  • Conditionally hide the banner

My favorite feature is the canTakeControl() method, which lets you define custom logic for taking over a page that someone else has control over:

GazeBanner::make()
->lock()
->canTakeControl(fn() => auth()->user()->isAdmin())

Using the above code, the owning user will see that they have control of the page and which other users are on the page. Here's the interface when a user does not have control of a page, but has permission to take control:

You can get started with this package, including full documentation on GitHub at discoverydesign/filament-gaze. This plugin is also listed on the Filament community plugin page.
