Livewire Property Groups

This package simplifies property management, validation, and manipulation in Livewire components by allowing you to organize related properties into named groups.

Installation

composer require leuverink/livewire-property-groups

Basic Usage

use Leuverink\PropertyAttribute\Group;
use Leuverink\PropertyAttribute\WithGroups;


class Form extends Component
{
    use WithGroups;

    #[Group('a')]
    public $foo = 1;

    #[Group('a')]
    public $bar = 2;

    #[Group('b')]
    public $baz = 3;

    public function submit()
    {
        $this->group('a')->validate();

        //...
    }
}

Accessing Group Properties

Use the WithGroups trait within your Component or Form object to get access to the group method.

// Get all properties in a group
$this->group('a'); // ['foo' => 1, 'bar' => 2]

// Get property names
$this->group('a')->keys(); // ['foo', 'bar']

// Get property values
$this->group('a')->values(); // [1, 2]

// Iterate over properties
$this->group('a')->each(fn() => /* */);

// Get all grouped properties, excluding non grouped
$this->group();

// Access a group as an array or an object
$this->group('a')['foo'];
$this->group('a')->foo;

Proxying Livewire Methods

// Reset properties to initial state
$this->group('a')->reset();

// Return all properties and reset to initial state
$this->group('a')->pull();

// Validate all properties in a group
$this->group('a')->validate();

// Works inside a form object
$this->userForm->group('a')->validate();

Working with Multiple Groups

// Retrieve properties from multiple groups
$this->group(['a', 'b']);

// Validate multiple groups
$this->group(['a', 'b'])->validate();

Debugging

// dump group properties
$this->group('a')->dump();

// dd group properties
$this->group('a')->dd();

// dump is chainable
$validated = $this->group('a')
    ->dump()
    ->validate();

Volt

In class-based components, property groups work like any other Livewire component. When using Volt's functional API you may use property groups like demonstrated below.

use Leuverink\PropertyAttribute\Group;
use Leuverink\PropertyAttribute\WithGroups;
use function Livewire\Volt\{action, state, uses};


uses([WithGroups::class]);

state([
    'foo' => 1,
])->attribute(Group::class, 'a');

state([
    'bar' => 2,
    'baz' => 'Lorem',
])->attribute(Group::class, 'b');

$action = action(function() {
    $groupA = $this->group('a')
        ->validate()
        ->values();

    $groupB = $this->group('b')
        ->validate()
        ->values();

    // ...
});

Conflicting group method signature

I realize that group is a very generic method name that you might well use inside your own components. You may change the method signature by providing an alias.

use WithGroups {
    group as fooBar;
}
