Livewire Resource Config

When to use me

• Setting up a new model that needs Livewire components
• Changing index behaviour (columns, buttons, search, sorting)
• Configuring form fields and actions
• Before scaffolding any Livewire components that rely on resource config

Base Configuration

• Always use the full Eloquent model class for the model key
• routePrefix is only required for full-page components and may be omitted otherwise
• Only add buttons, search, or sorting when explicitly required
• If columns are explicitly defined, use them exactly as provided
• If no columns are defined, make sensible assumptions based on the model
• Only define options that are needed; do not invent configuration
• Remove example comments when creating for production use

'resource' => [
    'model' => \App\Models\Model::class,
    'routePrefix' => 'resource',    // or 'admin.resource' for admin routes
    
    'index' => [
        'title' => '',              // Page title for the index view
        'columns' => [],            // Column names shown in the index table
        'buttons' => [],            // Action buttons (create, edit, delete)
        'searchableFields' => [],   // Fields included in search
        'sortColumn' => '',         // Default sort column
        'filterableFields' => [],   // Fields included in filters
    ],
    
    'form' => [
        'title' => '',              // Page title for the form view
        'fields' => [],             // Field names to include in the form
        'buttons' => [],            // Defines action buttons for the form view (save, cancel, etc.)
    ],
],

Button Types

Buttons define available actions on index and form pages. The suffix determines behavior:

No suffix (e.g., create, edit) - Opens a full page route

• Indicates full page component with route navigation
• Requires route if not included

-modal suffix (e.g., create-modal, edit-modal) - Opens a modal dialog

• Indicates modal form component typically rendered on the same page
• Uses events to trigger actions (do not just create an event)

Index Page Buttons

• use namespace when required.
