Method Illuminate\Support\Str::ucwords does not exist.
I am trying to add navigation groups (as shown in the docs: https://filamentphp.com/docs/3.x/panels/navigation#registering-custom-navigation-groups). This is a new Laravel v11 project (with Filament v3). Instead of a custom navigation group, I get an error about a missing method on the Str class: https://flareapp.io/share/oPRryqAP
Is this something I need to create a reproduction repo for, or does someone have an idea about what I'm doing wrong>

This method doesn't appear to exist in the docs or api documentation.
https://laravel.com/docs/11.x/strings#available-methods it doesn't exist indeed, method title() is preferred.
Where does that ucwords come from? You're saying it's from Filament internals?

Hmmm, could be a Filament bug indeed, then. I've checked a few older Laravel versions and seems like this method never existed. It should be PHP ucwords() instead, as one of the options.
The method is macroed just some lines before this. Are you running some code before the ServiceProvider is ran?

I see that macro now. I am running the same code as in the docs. I've shared it here: https://gist.github.com/assertchris/5e7a52f3430070583d29e5b08afae0d4
Put your navigation items into a closure. Otherwise they are evaluated on the spot before the app is booted
navigationItems is type-hinted as an array
as is the nested items function
how?
Then you need to use the
->navigation method and provide the full builder
Or does NavigationGroup::make()->items() accept a Closure?ok, that sounds like an option. when I did that, previously, it wiped out all the existing navigation. is there a way to appends only?
NavigationGroup::make()->items() does not
only array
I don't think so
so I can have a custom navigation group or the navigation filament builds, but not both?
Why do you register that manually anyway?
I want to have custom pages and links grouped with that resource management
that was just the minimum amount of code required to trigger the error
Custom pages shouldn't be an issue. But I don't know a better way for custom links, sorry.
Wait, maybe I know. Try overriding
getNavigationItems() of your resource. Use the default and add your custom linksok, cool, thanks
will try that
marking this as resolved because I would rather just honestly do whatever is possible (even without routing) than try to debug this further 🙂
but thank you for the help
Following up on this, it's much easier to use
protected static ?string $navigationGroup = 'Documents'; in the places where you can. Not always possible (say, if you're adding a new item via provider), but custom pages and resources group effortlessly via this approach.Sure. But I thought you wanted custom links to external pages which wouldn’t work that way
I managed to package the custom link functionality as an action on one of the custom pages
@assertchris I'm running into this as well. I feel like I'm doing it just as the docs say but get that Str::ucwords exception like you were getting.
Hmm I see, that was on navigationGroups which doesn't accept a closure. Now building full manual with the builder and it loads.
Hmm I see, that was on navigationGroups which doesn't accept a closureI guess that makes sense, since the method is macroed in a ServiceProvider.
