Laravel – How to integrate filament to existing API app

I have a production ready API with laravel 11 and I want to integrate filament for some pretty views, but I want to integrate filament (create,update,list) with my existing API and not to default filament CRUD operation directly with models. For example I want to send create submit form to my API
p.s

Route::post('/teachers', [TeacherController::class, 'store']);

and edit to

Route::put('/teachers/{id}', [TeacherController::class, 'update']);

How can I integrate it ?

Thanks you anyway!

I use filament for the first time and I have no idea how to customize filament with existing API endpoints

please do not post any solution from chatGPT

    Maybe something like this ? You can customize your actions:

    use FilamentForms;
use FilamentResourcesForm;
use IlluminateSupportFacadesHttp;

class TeacherResource extends Form
{
    public static function form(Form $form): Form
    {
        return $form
            ->schema([
                // Define your form fields here
                FormsComponentsTextInput::make('name')->required(),
                FormsComponentsTextInput::make('email')->email()->required(),
            ])
            ->submit(function (array $data) {
                if ($this->record->id) {
                    // Update logic
                    Http::put(url('/api/teachers/' . $this->record->id), $data);
                } else {
                    // Create logic
                    Http::post(url('/api/teachers'), $data);
                }

                return redirect()->route('filament.resources.teachers.index');
            });
    }
}

    you can change the create/update process, put your logic to call the existing API instead of actually creating the record using Eloquent

    I would like to mention that filament has two types of resources

    1. default resource where you use the command : php artisan make:filament-resource Customer as an example
    2. simple resource where you use : php artisan make:filament-resource Customer --simple

    you can find more about that in the document filament documentation get started

    assuming that you are working on the first type of resource, you would likely have a resource structure like this
    enter image description here

    so to customize the creation process go to App/Filament/Resource/PostResource/CreatePost

    add the method

            protected function handleRecordCreation(array $data): Model
        {
                    // Your logic here .......
                    Http::post(url('/api/teachers'), $data);
                  //reutn $model

        }

    then add method to handle redirect

    protected function getRedirectUrl(): string
{
    return $this->getResource()::getUrl('index');
}

    this is the way mentioned in the documentation check here

    to handle the edit action go to App/Filament/Resource/PostResource/EditPost as example

    protected function handleRecordUpdate(Model $record, array $data): Model
{
    //your logic here
    Http::put(url('/api/teachers/' . $this->record->id), $data);
    return $record;
}

    handle the edit action redirect using the method 

    protected function getRedirectUrl(): string
{
    return $this->getResource()::getUrl('index');
}

    and again you can find all of these in the documentation cech here
