Laravel Ignite

Laravel ignite is a package that provides the developer with rich web-ui compnents that are independent of browsers and can be fully styled to help developers deliver stylish application with coherent visual design.

Never build your html forms from scratch again as ignite takes care of that for you.

Features

  • Fully CSS Styled components that can be customized.
  • built in CSRF field.
  • Built in spoofing of PUT, PATCH, or DELETE requests.
  • Support for laravel validation out of the box.
  • Custom select field.
  • Custom radio/checkbox field.
  • Custom fields such as date selection, and searchable dropdowns (separate packages)

Under the hood, Laravel ignite uses Alpinejs and Tailwind CSS

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require pnx/laravel-ignite

The package should be auto discovered by laravel.

If that is not the case, you need to add the ServiceProvider manually in the providers array in config/app.php:

'providers' => [

    ...

    /*
     * Package Service Providers...
     */
    Ignite\ServiceProvider::class,

    ...
],

Configuration

Ignite can be configured the way you want it if the default settings is not enough.

To publish the config file config/ignite.php. Run this command:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=ignite-config

If you want to modify the view scripts, you can publish those to resources/views/vendor/ignite with this command:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=ignite-views

Component Attributes

All standard input attributes are of course available to ignite components.

However some behaviors are altered for some attributes described below

name

This attribute is required

id

If id attribute is absent, components will use name as id

value

The value passed to a component is passed through laravels old() view helper function.

Components will therefore use the old values if they are present in the request, otherwise the user provided default is used.

disabled

This is a boolean variable and when true, will render the html input field with disabled="disabled"
