## Introduction

You may create your own custom column classes and views, which you can reuse across your project, and even release as a plugin to the community.

To create a custom column class and view, you may use the following command:

```bash
php artisan make:filament-table-column AudioPlayerColumn
```

This will create the following component class:

```php
use Filament\Tables\Columns\Column;

class AudioPlayerColumn extends Column
{
    protected string $view = 'filament.tables.columns.audio-player-column';
}
```

It will also create a view file at `resources/views/filament/tables/columns/audio-player-column.blade.php`.

<Aside variant="info">
    Filament table columns are **not** Livewire components. Defining public properties and methods on a table column class will not make them accessible in the Blade view.
</Aside>

## Accessing the state of the column in the Blade view

Inside the Blade view, you may access the [state](overview#column-content-state) of the column using the `$getState()` function:

```blade
<div>
    {{ $getState() }}
</div>
```

## Accessing the Eloquent record in the Blade view

Inside the Blade view, you may access the current table row's Eloquent record using the `$record` variable:

```blade
<div>
    {{ $record->name }}
</div>
```

## Accessing the current Livewire component instance in the Blade view

Inside the Blade view, you may access the current Livewire component instance using `$this`:

```blade
@php
    use Filament\Resources\Users\RelationManagers\ConferencesRelationManager;
@endphp

<div>
    @if ($this instanceof ConferencesRelationManager)
        You are editing conferences the of a user.
    @endif
</div>
```

## Accessing the current column instance in the Blade view

Inside the Blade view, you may access the current column instance using `$column`. You can call public methods on this object to access other information that may not be available in variables:

```blade
<div>
    @if ($column->isLabelHidden())
        This is a new conference.
    @endif
</div>
```

## Adding a configuration method to a custom column class

You may add a public method to the custom column class that accepts a configuration value, stores it in a protected property, and returns it again from another public method:

```php
use Filament\Tables\Columns\Column;

class AudioPlayerColumn extends Column
{
    protected string $view = 'filament.tables.columns.audio-player-column';
    
    protected ?float $speed = null;

public function speed(?float $speed): static
    {
        $this->speed = $speed;

return $this;
    }

public function getSpeed(): ?float
    {
        return $this->speed;
    }
}
```

Now, in the Blade view for the custom column, you may access the speed using the `$getSpeed()` function:

```blade
<div>
    {{ $getSpeed() }}
</div>
```

Any public method that you define on the custom column class can be accessed in the Blade view as a variable function in this way.

To pass the configuration value to the custom column class, you may use the public method:

```php
use App\Filament\Tables\Columns\AudioPlayerColumn;

AudioPlayerColumn::make('recording')
    ->speed(0.5)
```

## Allowing utility injection in a custom column configuration method

[Utility injection](overview#column-utility-injection) is a powerful feature of Filament that allows users to configure a component using functions that can access various utilities. You can allow utility injection by ensuring that the parameter type and property type of the configuration allows the user to pass a `Closure`. In the getter method, you should pass the configuration value to the `$this->evaluate()` method, which will inject utilities into the user's function if they pass one, or return the value if it is static:

```php
use Closure;
use Filament\Tables\Columns\Column;

class AudioPlayerColumn extends Column
{
    protected string $view = 'filament.tables.columns.audio-player-column';
    
    protected float | Closure | null $speed = null;

public function speed(float | Closure | null $speed): static
    {
        $this->speed = $speed;

return $this;
    }

public function getSpeed(): ?float
    {
        return $this->evaluate($this->speed);
    }
}
```

Now, you can pass a static value or a function to the `speed()` method, and [inject any utility](overview#component-utility-injection) as a parameter:

```php
use App\Filament\Tables\Columns\AudioPlayerColumn;

AudioPlayerColumn::make('recording')
    ->speed(fn (Conference $record): float => $record->isGlobal() ? 1 : 0.5)
```
