Creating Widgets

Generate with Artisan

# Basic widget
php artisan make:filament-widget StatsOverview

# Stats overview widget
php artisan make:filament-widget StatsOverview --stats-overview

# Chart widget
php artisan make:filament-widget RevenueChart --chart

# Table widget
php artisan make:filament-widget LatestOrders --table

# Resource widget
php artisan make:filament-widget PostStats --resource=PostResource
