Laravel 11 Livewire CRUD Tutorial

Performing CRUD operations with database in Laravel 11 application is very easy with the help of Livewire package.

Let’s create a CRUD (Create, Read, Update and Delete) operation application in Laravel application using Livewire:

Step 1: Create Migration and Model

Run the following command to create model and migration file to perform crud operation from database:

php artisan make:model Post -m

Edit database/migrations/posts.php file, and add the following code in it:

        Schema::create('posts', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->id();
            $table->string('title');
            $table->text('body');
            $table->timestamps();
        });

Add fillable property in app/models/post.php file:

  protected $fillable = [
        'title', 'body'
    ];

Step 2: Set Up Livewire

Run the following command to install livewire package in application:

composer require livewire/livewire

Step 3: Create CRUD Livewire Component

Run following command to create crud component:

php artisan make:livewire posts

Step 4: Add CRUD Functionality in Component File

Edit app/Http/Livewire/Posts.php file, and implement CRUD functionality code in it:

<?php
  
namespace App\Http\Livewire;
  
use Livewire\Component;
use App\Models\Post;
  
class Posts extends Component
{
    public $posts, $title, $body, $post_id;
    public $updateMode = false;
   
    /**
     * The attributes that are mass assignable.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    public function render()
    {
        $this->posts = Post::all();
        return view('livewire.posts');
    }
  
    /**
     * The attributes that are mass assignable.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    private function resetInputFields(){
        $this->title = '';
        $this->body = '';
    }
   
    /**
     * The attributes that are mass assignable.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    public function store()
    {
        $validatedDate = $this->validate([
            'title' => 'required',
            'body' => 'required',
        ]);
  
        Post::create($validatedDate);
  
        session()->flash('message', 'Post Created Successfully.');
  
        $this->resetInputFields();
    }
  
    /**
     * The attributes that are mass assignable.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    public function edit($id)
    {
        $post = Post::findOrFail($id);
        $this->post_id = $id;
        $this->title = $post->title;
        $this->body = $post->body;
  
        $this->updateMode = true;
    }
  
    /**
     * The attributes that are mass assignable.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    public function cancel()
    {
        $this->updateMode = false;
        $this->resetInputFields();
    }
  
    /**
     * The attributes that are mass assignable.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    public function update()
    {
        $validatedDate = $this->validate([
            'title' => 'required',
            'body' => 'required',
        ]);
  
        $post = Post::find($this->post_id);
        $post->update([
            'title' => $this->title,
            'body' => $this->body,
        ]);
  
        $this->updateMode = false;
  
        session()->flash('message', 'Post Updated Successfully.');
        $this->resetInputFields();
    }
   
    /**
     * The attributes that are mass assignable.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    public function delete($id)
    {
        Post::find($id)->delete();
        session()->flash('message', 'Post Deleted Successfully.');
    }
}

Edit resources/views/livewire/posts.blade.php file, and implement CRUD views code in it:

<div>
  
    @if (session()->has('message'))
        <div class="alert alert-success">
            {{ session('message') }}
        </div>
    @endif
  
    @if($updateMode)
        @include('livewire.update')
    @else
        @include('livewire.create')
    @endif
  
    <table class="table table-bordered mt-5">
        <thead>
            <tr>
                <th>No.</th>
                <th>Title</th>
                <th>Body</th>
                <th width="150px">Action</th>
            </tr>
        </thead>
        <tbody>
            @foreach($posts as $post)
            <tr>
                <td>{{ $post->id }}</td>
                <td>{{ $post->title }}</td>
                <td>{{ $post->body }}</td>
                <td>
                <button wire:click="edit({{ $post->id }})" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Edit</button>
                    <button wire:click="delete({{ $post->id }})" class="btn btn-danger btn-sm">Delete</button>
                </td>
            </tr>
            @endforeach
        </tbody>
    </table>
</div>

Create a view name create.blade.php in resources/views/livewire/ directory and create add form in it:

<form>
    <div class="form-group">
        <label for="exampleFormControlInput1">Title:</label>
        <input type="text" class="form-control" id="exampleFormControlInput1" placeholder="Enter Title" wire:model="title">
        @error('title') <span class="text-danger">{{ $message }}</span>@enderror
    </div>
    <div class="form-group">
        <label for="exampleFormControlInput2">Body:</label>
        <textarea type="email" class="form-control" id="exampleFormControlInput2" wire:model="body" placeholder="Enter Body"></textarea>
        @error('body') <span class="text-danger">{{ $message }}</span>@enderror
    </div>
    <button wire:click.prevent="store()" class="btn btn-success">Save</button>
</form>

Create a view name update.blade.php in resources/views/livewire/ directory and create update form in it:

<form>
    <input type="hidden" wire:model="post_id">
    <div class="form-group">
        <label for="exampleFormControlInput1">Title:</label>
        <input type="text" class="form-control" id="exampleFormControlInput1" placeholder="Enter Title" wire:model="title">
        @error('title') <span class="text-danger">{{ $message }}</span>@enderror
    </div>
    <div class="form-group">
        <label for="exampleFormControlInput2">Body:</label>
        <textarea type="email" class="form-control" id="exampleFormControlInput2" wire:model="body" placeholder="Enter Body"></textarea>
        @error('body') <span class="text-danger">{{ $message }}</span>@enderror
    </div>
    <button wire:click.prevent="update()" class="btn btn-dark">Update</button>
    <button wire:click.prevent="cancel()" class="btn btn-danger">Cancel</button>
</form>

Step 5: Import Livewire Component in View

Edit resources/views/welcome.blade.php file and import livewire crud view component in it:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Laravel 11 Livewire CRUD Example - itcodstuff.com</title>
    <link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
    @livewireStyles
</head>
<body>
    <div class="container">
        <div class="row justify-content-center">
            <div class="col-md-8">
                <div class="card">
                    <div class="card-header">
                        <h2>Laravel 11 Livewire CRUD - itcodstuff.com</h2>
                    </div>
                    <div class="card-body">
                        @if (session()->has('message'))
                            <div class="alert alert-success">
                                {{ session('message') }}
                            </div>
                        @endif
                        @livewire('posts')
                    </div>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
    @livewireScripts
</body>
</html>

Step 6: Test Application

Run php artisan serve command to start application server:

php artisan serve

Open the following url in browser for test this application:

http://localhost:8000/
