Laravel Livewire Helpers

A few useful helpers for Laravel & Livewire.

Installation

Install via composer:

composer require redbastie/laravel-livewire-helpers

WithData

This trait allows you to use a $data array property inside your component so that you don't need to create a separate property for every single form input.

Modeling data:

<input type="email" wire:model.defer="data.email">
@error('email')<p class="text-red-600">{{ $message }}</p>@enderror

Validating data:

$this->validateData([
    'email' => ['required', 'email'],
]);

Getting data (null safe, uses dot notation for nested arrays):

$this->data('email');

WithInfiniteScroll

This trait implements infinite scrolling in your component. Useful for allowing the user to endlessly scroll through a list of queried models. This trait requires some setup.

First, require infinite-scroll in your resources/app.js file (and make sure to npm run it if not already watching):

require('./bootstrap');
require('../../vendor/redbastie/laravel-livewire-helpers/resources/js/infinite-scroll');

In your component, use $this->query()->paginate($this->perPage) for the model results and pass the infiniteScroll boolean to the view:

public function render()
{
    return view('livewire.vehicles', [
        'vehicles' => $this->query()->paginate($this->perPage),
        'infiniteScroll' => $this->infiniteScroll(),
    ]);
}

Your component needs to implement a query() method, which returns a model builder query:

public function query()
{
    return Vehicle::query()->orderBy('id');
}

Finally, include infinite-scroll at the bottom of your view:

@include('laravel-livewire-helpers::infinite-scroll')
