Laravel 8 - CRUD basic steps (Livewire and Tailwind)

#laravel #livewire #crud #tailwindcss

Let's create migration file. Run command:

php artisan make:migration create_companies_table

In migration file add code:

<?php

use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;

class CreateCompaniesTable extends Migration
{
    /**
     * Run the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function up()
    {
        Schema::create('companies', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->id();
            $table->string('title')->unique();
            $table->timestamps();
        });
    }

    /**
     * Reverse the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function down()
    {
        Schema::dropIfExists('companies');
    }
}

Run command to add table in database:

php artisan migrate

Run command to create Livewire CRUD files (it will create /app/Http/Livewire/Companies.php and /resources/views/livewire/companies.blade.php):

php artisan make:livewire companies

In /app/Http/Livewire/Companies.php file add code:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Livewire;

use Livewire\Component;
use App\Models\Company;

class Companies extends Component
{
    public $title;
    public $company_id;
    public $isOpen = 0;

    /**
     * The attributes that are mass assignable.
     *
     * @var array
     */

    public function render()
    {
        return view('livewire.companies', [
            'companies' => Company::orderBy('id', 'desc')]);
    }

    /**
     * The attributes that are mass assignable.
     *
     * @var array
     */

    public function create()
    {
        $this->resetInputFields();
        $this->openModal();
    }

    /**
     * The attributes that are mass assignable.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    public function openModal()
    {
        $this->isOpen = true;
    }

    /**
     * The attributes that are mass assignable.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    public function closeModal()
    {
        $this->isOpen = false;
    }

    /**
     * The attributes that are mass assignable.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    private function resetInputFields(){
        $this->title = '';
        $this->company_id = '';
    }

    /**
     * The attributes that are mass assignable.
     *
     * @var array
     */

    public function store()
    {
        $this->validate([
            'title' => 'required|unique:companies,title,'.$this->company_id,
        ]);
        $data = array(
            'title' => $this->title
        );
        $company = Company::updateOrCreate(['id' => $this->company_id],$data);
        session()->flash('message', $this->company_id ? 'Company updated successfully.' : 'Company created successfully.');
        $this->closeModal();
        $this->resetInputFields();
    }

    /**
     * The attributes that are mass assignable.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    public function edit($id)
    {
        $company = Company::findOrFail($id);
        $this->company_id = $id;
        $this->title = $company->title;
        $this->openModal();
    }

    /**
     * The attributes that are mass assignable.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    public function delete($id)
    {
        $this->company_id = $id;
        Company::find($id)->delete();
        session()->flash('message', 'Company deleted successfully.');
    }

}

In /resources/views/livewire/companies.blade.php file add code

<x-slot name="header">
    <h2 class="font-semibold text-xl text-gray-800 leading-tight">
        {{ __('Companies') }}

Our javascript code has to be between tags:

@push('scripts') ... @endpush

and style

@push('styles') ... @endpush

It means in
/resources/views/layouts/app.blade.php
need to add @stack('styles') and @stack('scripts')

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="{{ str_replace('_', '-', app()->getLocale()) }}">
    <head>
        <meta charset="utf-8">
        <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
        <meta name="csrf-token" content="{{ csrf_token() }}">

        <title>{{ config('app.name', 'Laravel') }}</title>

        @livewireStyles

        @stack('styles')

        <div class="min-h-screen bg-gray-100">

            <!-- Page Heading -->
            <header class="bg-white shadow">
                <div class="max-w-7xl mx-auto py-6 px-4 sm:px-6 lg:px-8">
                    {{ $header }}
                </div>
            </header>

            <!-- Page Content -->
            <main>
                {{ $slot }}
            </main>
        </div>

        @stack('modals')

        @livewireScripts

        @stack('scripts')
    </body>
</html>

Run command to create Company Model:

php artisan make:model Company

In /app/Models/Company.php file add code:

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Company extends Model
{
    use HasFactory;

    protected $fillable = [
        'title'
    ];
}

In /routes/web.php need to add route:

Route::middleware(['auth:sanctum', 'verified'])->get('/companies', App\Http\Livewire\Companies::class)->name('companies');

And run command to clean route cache:

php artisan route:cache

And in the last step need to add companies pages link to main menu. In /resources/views/navigation-dropdown.blade.php add menu item:

<div class="hidden space-x-8 sm:-my-px sm:ml-10 sm:flex">
    <x-jet-nav-link href="{{ route('companies') }}" :active="request()->routeIs('companies')">
        {{ __('Companies') }}
    </x-jet-nav-link>
</div>

And in the same file, where is comment  add:

<x-jet-responsive-nav-link href="{{ route('companies') }}" :active="request()->routeIs('companies')">
{{ __('Companies') }}
</x-jet-responsive-nav-link>

These are basic steps to create CRUD by using Laravel, Livewire and Tailwind, but if we want to customise our CRUD please visit my second tutorial part: Laravel 8 - advanced CRUD (Livewire and Tailwind)

i dont have /resources/views/layouts/app.blade.php and /resources/views/navigation-dropdown.blade.php files.
did i miss something? are there any previous guide before this?

Darius Dauskurdis • Jan 27 '21

Sorry for that, but my tutorial was only about CRUD not about part of website design elements. "app.blade.php" is my main layout and "navigation-dropdown.blade.php" has menu items.

jefflroberts • Jan 20 '21 • Edited

This tutorial skips a lot of steps or assumes you know how to do some things maybe? Check this out: laravel-livewire.com/docs/2.x/rend...

Johan Montenij • Jan 25 '21

If you get "count(): Parameter must be an array or an object that implements Countable",
try replacing the content of the Companies render-method with:

    return view('livewire.companies', ['companies' => Company::all()->sortByDesc('id')]);
