X-livewire

This package allows you to render livewire components like a blade component, giving it attributes, slots etc.

Assuming you wanted to create a livewire component, alert, usually you would render the component by: <livewire:alert/>. However, there a few problems.

You can't allow slots within the component. That is, this is invalid: <livewire:alert>Alert</livewire:alert>.
You can't access the $attributes bag. Thus, can't access the $attributes variable directly. That is, if you do this: <livewire:alert title="Alert!"/>, you can't access the $title attribute by $attributes->get('title'). Instead, you'd have to make $title a public property in the component. Not to mention, other methods on $attributes are not accessible. Such as ->merge([]), ->whereStartsWith(), etc.

The creator of livewire, Caleb Porzio has made it clear that adding slots, attributes etc are not currently on the roadmap.

That's why I created X-livewire.

With X-Livewire, you can do:

    <x-livewire _="alert">
        My alert message
    </x-livewire>

And, just like with Blade, you can:

Access the $attributes variable: {{ $attributes->get('title') }},
Access the $slot variable: {{ $slot }}

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require titonova/x-livewire

Usage

After creating your livewire component, make it extend XLivewireBaseComponent rather than Component. ie: class Alert extends XLivewireBaseComponent{
If you want to access the $attributes bag in your x-livewire component's backend, add $this->setProps() as the first line in your component's mount() method.
In the view file of the component, e.g alert.blade.php add @setUpXLivewire to the top of the file.
When you want to render the component: Blade <x-livewire _="alert" title="Warning"> My alert message </x-livewire>

You can access the $slot and $attributes variables just like you would in a Blade component: {{ $slot }} {{ $attributes->get('title') }}

You can also access the array of attributes that were passed to the x-livewire's component's tag but were not explicitedly declared in the class as $tagAttributes property. {{ $tagAttributes->get('href') }} For example, attributes like primary, lg etc that don't need corresponding properties declarations in the class. E.g ```HTML Google ....

    <span>
    <a href="{{ $tagAttributes->get('href') }}>{{ $slot }}</a>
    </span>
```

You can add and access named slots as such:

            My alert message
            <x-slot name="footer">My custom footer </x-slot>
        </x-livewire>
        
        ....

        <div class="alert ...">
            {{ $slot }}
            <div class="alert-footer">
                {{ $footer ?? 'Default footer content' }}
            </div>
        </div>

If you want to access the slots directly as their Illuminate\View\ComponentSlot class, you can use the following: $this->laravelSlots()['footer']. Which would return an instance of Illuminate\View\ComponentSlot. E.g:

    +attributes: Illuminate\View\ComponentAttributeBag {#1379 ▼
      #attributes: []
    }
    #contents: "<b>&lt;i&gt;hello!!!    &lt;/i&gt; </b>"

With available methods such as

public withAttributes(array $attributes): $this Set the extra attributes that the slot should make available.
public toHtml(): string Get the slot's HTML string.
public isEmpty(): bool Determine if the slot is empty.
public isNotEmpty(): bool Determine if the slot is not empty.
public __toString(): string Get the slot's HTML string.
