Making Components

• Introduction
• Inline Components

Introduction

Run the following artisan command to create a new Livewire component:

        
1php artisan make:livewire ShowPosts
    

Livewire also supports "kebab" notation for new components.

        
1php artisan make:livewire show-posts
    

Two new files were created in your project:

• app/Http/Livewire/ShowPosts.php
• resources/views/livewire/show-posts.blade.php

If you wish to create components within sub-folders, you can use the following different syntaxes:

        
1php artisan make:livewire Post\\Show
2php artisan make:livewire Post/Show
3php artisan make:livewire post.show
    

Now, the two created files will be in sub-folders:

• app/Http/Livewire/Post/Show.php
• resources/views/livewire/post/show.blade.php

Generating Tests

Optionally, you can include the --test flag when creating a component, and a test file will be created for you as well.

        
1php artisan make:livewire ShowPosts --test
    

Inline Components

If you wish to create Inline components (Component's without .blade.php files), you can add the --inline flag to the command:

        
1php artisan make:livewire ShowPosts --inline
    

Now, only one file will be created:

• app/Http/Livewire/ShowPosts.php

Here's what it would look like:

        
1class ShowPosts extends Component
2{
3    public function render()
4    {
5        return <<<'blade'
6            <div></div>
7        blade;
8    }
