Have a great time!

Totally, Boost is too much.

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

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

Got that universal single-file Blade/Livewire component experiment working pretty nicely now. Here's the repo if anyone's interested: github.com/jacksleight/...

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

Computed Livewire properties aren't available client-side, but sometimes they'd be really useful. So I built a little utility to make that possible.

Under the hood this is just dispatching an event with the data on each update. You can of course do that yourself, but I like the simplicity of this.

I’m so glad I found your account, your own posts and the things you share are always so interesting!

Thanks for all the good reads. 🙂👍

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.

Of course! 💯

Unified component experiment continues. Blade components now use an inline class for props, so the syntax can be identical to Livewire. Now upgrading a Blade component to Livewire is as simple as switching “BladeComponent” for “LivewireComponent” and adding the Livewire things.

Tagged @statamic.bsky.social Bard Texstyle v3.5. Includes a handful of small but hopefully useful features:

✳️ Heading styles that can apply to any level
🫥 Ability to hide parts of text content
🎨 CP CSS for specific attribute values
☑️ A couple of other little extras

statamic.com/addons/jacks...

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.

Working on some new features for Bard Texstyle 3.5. First one is the ability to hide parts of text content, useful if you need to temporarily remove something. Hidden content is completely excluded from the rendered HTML.

So you're saying my code is perfect? That's what you're saying? Great!

And because Livewire synthesizers are awesome you can wire:model attribute bag values. Not sure about the use cases for this (and the bag is locked by default), but it's still cool.

If you don’t need Livewire just drop the `<?php` chunk and it’s a regular Blade component. If it’s full page just wrap the template in your layout. And the best thing is this only requires some very minimal hooks into to the blade compiler, a couple of helpers, and a Vite plugin.
3/3

* Every view is a Blade or Blade+Livewire (via Volt) component
* Non-Livewire components can be used as full pages
* Livewire components get an attribute bag and can have slots
* Layouts are included in exactly the same way in both types
* Scripts and styles can use imports/tailwind helpers etc

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.

Be interested what you think of github.com/jacksleight/.... First package I’ve used PHPStan on, although it does still need tests!

Yep! 🙂 And it’s free if you already have a desktop licence.

For iOS, TablePlus and Working Copy are pretty good and can be protected with FaceID or a passcode.

Slightly thrown by Tailwind 4 referring to JS based plugins as “legacy”. The new CSS based config is awesome, but anything requiring logic or using helpers like `flattenColorPalette` still needs to be JS based.

Hope they don’t disappear one day.

Stumbled on a little CSS tip. If you need an absolute value you could use `abs`, but it’s limited availability right now.

However `hypot` is newly available and:

> If a single parameter is provided, the result is the absolute value of its input.

Or you can just use `max`, but it's more verbose.

Apparently! I try to keep it quiet.
