Thanks! Yeah exactly, and it’s my go-to JS framework, so figured it would be useful to have Alpine versions of the techniques for future reference.

Agreed! No clue whatsoever.

Oh, you’re suggesting Quad (four snack size in one sitting)? Excellent idea! 🍫🍫🍫🍫

Also, forget snack size, see if you can find a duo.

My #1 favourite chocolate bar. Literally bought one an hour ago. 👍👍

Now working without the trait and with renderless actions. I do love Livewire!

A way to either override the PHP that component tags are compiled to or implement custom component tags without duplicating all that regex would be ace.

Within the templates I’m using a prepare strings callback to split out the various parts (using regex) maybe the parser could handle some of that?

I’ve been chipping away at this recently:
bsky.app/profile/jack...
bsky.app/profile/jack...

Still pretty rough and kinda hacky but it’s functional. A more official/robust way to do it would be ace. Would love your thoughts on it.
Happy Friday! I’ve been chipping away at an approach to writing Blade and Livewire components that smooths out the differences between the two, letting you write and use everything the same way, and also include scripts and styles that get bundled by Vite.

Of course! 💯

Finally (ish) is wildcard heading styles, so you can have a single heading style that can be applied to multiple heading levels.

Next up is custom control panel CSS for individual attribute values.
