Lemme show you what's good in Livewire 3.4

Hey Livewire buds,

Big news: we finally got to "inbox zero" on the Livewire & Alpine repositories. Weeeooo!

This is a big moment for me, because I haven't felt "on-top" of the open source side of things since releasing V3.

And with that of course, is a big fat new Livewire release: 3.4.0

It's mostly bug-fixes and tweaks, but here are a few new features and changes you might want to know about:

New #[Session] attribute

You can now persist values between pages using the new #[Session] attribute. This is useful for remembering certain customizations a user makes, like showing/hiding certain columns in a table.

Just plop #[Session] above a Livewire property, and now that property will be stored and retrieved out of the user's session in your Laravel app.

​Check out the docs →​

Inheritable attributes

This is a good one. If you use different Blade layouts in your app and are sick of configuring them in individual components, I have good news for you.

You can now set Livewire class-level attributes in parent classes of components. This way you can create "base components" for different layouts and extend them appropriately.

Top-level #[On]

Here's a little random thing: If you want to refresh an entire component when a specific event is fired, you can now do that by placing #[On] above the component's class itself (rather than attaching it to a specific method).

Pagination without URL tracking

If you want to use Livewire's pagination (provided by the WithPagination trait) but DON'T want Livewire to add "?page=" to the URL, there's a new WithoutUrlPagination trait you can add.

Cancel file uploads

You can now cancel file uploads if one is taking too long. This is helpful for users who want to bail out of a long upload.

Signing off

So there ya go! I didn't even mention the 50+ bug-fixes contained in this release.

Side note: I'm trying to be more communicative and involved in the community, so expect to hear more from me about new Livewire updates and other random crap you may or may not care about.

Thanks for loving Livewire,

Caleb

🥳 Flux UI is now live!

Hey! Wow. This was way more work than I thought it would be (...said everyone who ever launched anything), but we did it! 🚀🎉 Flux is officially liveeeeeeee! ​ If you head over to the Flux site, you can browse all 26+ components and read through the documentation to get feel for what it's like. ​ Explore Flux and grab a license here → ​ Quick reminder, instead of per-project/per-year pricing, I'm offering an "Unlimited everything forever— $279 " discount price to celebrate the launch. You pay that price once and you can use Flux in as many personal or commercial projects as you want and you'll receive updates to the component library forever. I really wanted this to be a no-brainer buy at launch. --- Let me extend a deep thank you from the bottom of my heart for using Livewire and supporting my journey. Because people like you purchase products like this, I can keep working on Livewire and Alpine full-time. It's my dream job. ❤️ ...

New Livewire Data Tables series is here!

Image
Hey Livewire folks! It is time. I just launched the new data tables series in the Livewire screencasts. ​ Watch the new series right now → ​ If you don't want to dive in right away or aren't a paid subscriber, check out this fun little teaser I made. (It's the entire 4-hour course condensed into 3.5 minutes while I fiddle around on a synthesizer in the background) ​ Check out the free, short, teaser video → ​ Here's a screenshot of the final product: ​ ​ This series has 27 episodes, is over four hours long, and covers way more than just the table part. We add charting, date range filtering, bulk actions, etc. My favorite part about this series is how we managed to make all the interactions on the page instant. Every time a user clicks on a button or a menu or selects an item, the entire page reacts instantly while something happens in the background. It truly feels like a full React or Vue application. Aside from learning how to build all t...
