Flux uses Tiptap for its Editor component - offering incredible interoperability with Statamic's Bard fieldtype. With one catch: Flux's implementation returns HTML. Never fear, @joshhanley.au paired with me to help tweak the getter to get JSON instead. www.martyfriedel.com/blog/making-...

Agreed!

Josh Hanley 🇦🇺 @joshhanley.au · 06/09/2025

You might be waiting a while, it’s not something we plan to change. What’s wrong with tables?

Josh Hanley 🇦🇺 @joshhanley.au · 05/09/2025

Yep! All in the matter of time 😁

We've just fixed up how sidebar groups are handled, so make sure to upgrade to v2.3.1!

Josh Hanley 🇦🇺 @joshhanley.au · 05/09/2025

We just shipped a ton of improvements to Flux's sidebar! 👌 - Collapsible sidebars - Collapsed state auto-persisted in localStorage - Sidebar item group icons - New `sidebar.search` component - + like 5 other new sidebar components Checkout the blog post: fluxui.dev/blog

Josh Hanley 🇦🇺 @joshhanley.au · 09/08/2025

Love it! 😁 yep it’s a default for all projects for me now 😊

Josh Hanley 🇦🇺 @joshhanley.au · 09/08/2025

New Flux release: v2.2.4 with a bunch more fixes! 😁

Josh Hanley 🇦🇺 @joshhanley.au · 07/08/2025

And how are you going? Yep, a good friend will always want to know. There have been times when I've got so much going on in my world, when I call my best friend, I rant for a bit. But then I always ask, so how're you doing? No matter how long into the conversation we may be. But it goes both ways.

Josh Hanley 🇦🇺 @joshhanley.au · 30/07/2025

Soon ™️

To all of those social butterflies in Denver - enjoy Laracon! Don’t forget to keep an eye out for someone seeming on the outer, someone needing to feel included, someone needing a smile. There are lots of invisible developers out there. Try to do something that can help others feel seen.

Here's another great article that changed how I viewed storing dates/times www.creativedeletion.com/2015/03/19/p...

How to save datetimes for future events - (when UTC is not the right answer)

Imagine that it’s January 2015 and you’re making an appointment in a calendar application for ameeting that will take place in Santiago, Chile on the April 3...

Josh Hanley 🇦🇺 @joshhanley.au · 22/07/2025

Thankfully, while events aren't fun to deal with, they are definitely reliable. I've been using this pattern even since v2 for shared modals.

000

Josh Hanley 🇦🇺 @joshhanley.au · 22/07/2025

Yep! Just tested this and yeah it works as I was hoping 😁

Josh Hanley 🇦🇺 @joshhanley.au · 22/07/2025

I think I know what you want and it's coming in v4 🤫👀 (if it works the way I'm hoping it will 😆)

Josh Hanley 🇦🇺 @joshhanley.au · 22/07/2025

Yeah the main reason for the dispatch is, what if you click edit on one user, then escape out and then click edit on a different user? The modal comp can't mount twice. You could potentially do that if you had inline modals but that adds to the DOM. I just have one edit-user modal comp for the page.

Josh Hanley 🇦🇺 @joshhanley.au · 22/07/2025

I'd love to know the answer to this too 😅

000

Josh Hanley 🇦🇺 @joshhanley.au · 22/07/2025

I then have loading inside the modal, which `wire:target` the edit method, to show the loading state and hide the modal contents.

100

Josh Hanley 🇦🇺 @joshhanley.au · 22/07/2025

Yep, that's how I do it. I have a button that has `wire:click="$dispatch('edit-user', {{$user->id}})"` and it is wrapped in a `flux:modal.trigger` component, which opens the modal. My modal component has a listener for the edit-user event on my `edit($userId)` method.

Josh Hanley 🇦🇺 @joshhanley.au · 22/07/2025

One component for the page and another for the modal 😁

100

Josh Hanley 🇦🇺 @joshhanley.au · 21/07/2025

Ahh! Yep, that'll do it. What do you use that for?

000

Josh Hanley 🇦🇺 @joshhanley.au · 21/07/2025

Actually those dates are off by a day in comparison to the date inside the element 🤔

100

Josh Hanley 🇦🇺 @joshhanley.au · 21/07/2025

Yeah Flux uses browser locale based date objects to get the individual dates. But it should only be rendering the day and not the rest of it.

100

Josh Hanley 🇦🇺 @joshhanley.au · 21/07/2025

Sadly not. If you can’t work it out, happy to jump on a call to see if we can get to the bottom of it.

Josh Hanley 🇦🇺 @joshhanley.au · 21/07/2025

Very strange! Just tested locally and I couldn’t get it to break 😅 thought maybe it was an issue with date picker after flux scripts or something. But it doesn’t function at all then 😂

100

Josh Hanley 🇦🇺 @joshhanley.au · 21/07/2025

Ok thanks. I’ll have a quick play and see if I can replicate it. Does seem odd styles wouldn’t be there initially but be fine after any interaction

100

Josh Hanley 🇦🇺 @joshhanley.au · 21/07/2025

Nope! I’ll test it out. Assuming it’s nothing fancy, just date picker inside a fly out modal?

100

Josh Hanley 🇦🇺 @joshhanley.au · 17/07/2025

Haha was just keeping them for a little while after I migrated to digital ocean. Probably should clean them up but yeah it’s not worth it 😂

000

Josh Hanley 🇦🇺 @joshhanley.au · 17/07/2025

Yeah same, mines like $1 for some old RDS snapshots 😂

100

Josh Hanley 🇦🇺 @joshhanley.au · 17/07/2025

Yeah I dunno 🤷‍♂️ guess we’ll find out when the next invoices are sent 😂

Josh Hanley 🇦🇺 @joshhanley.au · 15/07/2025

Yes. Yes they should! 😁

Josh Hanley 🇦🇺 @joshhanley.au · 11/07/2025

Going to test this out when I get a moment and will see if I can make the docs clearer or fix it if somethings not working properly.

Josh Hanley 🇦🇺 @joshhanley.au · 11/07/2025

Ah bugger. Well happy to help fix it if you work it out 😁

000

Josh Hanley 🇦🇺 @joshhanley.au · 11/07/2025

You got it 😁 I much prefer it over here!

Josh Hanley 🇦🇺 @joshhanley.au · 11/07/2025

No worries!

Josh Hanley 🇦🇺 @joshhanley.au · 11/07/2025

It doesn't remove the dark classes from your markup, it just stops Flux from controlling dark mode appearance on your site. By default it detects users system preferences and allows them to override it using a toggle.

100

Josh Hanley 🇦🇺 @joshhanley.au · 09/07/2025

I personally don’t use it when testing my components. But is there anything we could do to make it better? Why do you find it fragile?

100

Josh Hanley 🇦🇺 @joshhanley.au · 09/07/2025

But yeah we should also document it as people don’t seem to notice it on the Echo docs, and it trips a lot of people up.

000

Josh Hanley 🇦🇺 @joshhanley.au · 09/07/2025

Yeah it’s actually a Laravel Echo thing, not Livewire directly. Echo auto prefixes the App\Events namespace to all event names. But if you have defined a custom event name in the event, then when referencing it, you need to prefix it with a period to tell Echo not to prepend the namespace.

Welcome to Discord! 😂

Stayed tuned 👀

Josh Hanley 🇦🇺 @joshhanley.au · 09/07/2025

Congrats! 🥳

Josh Hanley 🇦🇺 @joshhanley.au · 20/06/2025

Whoops! Sorry, not sorry 😂

Josh Hanley 🇦🇺 @joshhanley.au · 20/06/2025

I’ll tell people they should build with Livewire any day! BUT the thing that’s more important is you and your team. You should build using what you are most comfortable with. If you have the VILT stack running and your team knows it, then it’s likely a great choice.
