G Gentelella v4.1.1

Laravel column types

The 14 list column types — text, money, status, relationship, progress, actions and the rest — and the options each one takes.

Last updated September 9, 2026

The Laravel edition is a Composer package — ColorlibHQ/gentelella-laravel. Live demo →

Each is a Blade view under resources/views/columns, receiving $column, $entry and $value. An unknown type falls back to text — a typo should show the value, not break the table.

Type Options
text strong, mono Default. Wraps in the cell helper classes
number decimals Monospaced, thousands-separated
money symbol, suffix, decimals
boolean labels (['Yes','No']) Green/red status pill
status tones, labels, default_tone Maps a value to a pill colour
date format (M j, Y) Renders <time datetime>
datetime format (M j, Y H:i)
relationship attribute Reads the attribute off the related model; when null
link href Closure receiving the model, or an attribute name
image alt Lazy-loaded avatar-sized image
array limit Chips, plus a +n overflow chip
progress tone Thin progress bar
closure value, escape Computed; escaped unless escape => false
actions Appended automatically; edit and delete buttons

Common keys

Key
name Attribute, or relation name for relationship. Supports dot notation
label Header text; defaults to a humanised name
searchable Include in the search query. Off by default
orderable Allow sorting. On by default

Notes

status falls back to default_tone for an unmapped value, so a new enum case renders as a neutral pill rather than an unstyled one:

['name' => 'status', 'type' => 'status',
 'tones' => ['live' => 'green', 'draft' => 'yellow'], 'default_tone' => 'blue'],

closure escapes by default. Set escape => false only for markup the application produced itself:

['name' => 'summary', 'type' => 'closure', 'value' => fn ($p) => $p->name.' ('.$p->sku.')'],

actions is appended automatically when the panel has a route. Each button renders only if its route exists, so a read-only panel shows no controls that 404. Turn it off with $this->panel->withoutActions().

Searching a relationship uses whereHas, so it works for any relation type. Ordering one requires a belongsTo — see CRUD.
