# Livewire Material
Material 3 Expressive components for Laravel and Livewire, built on Tailwind CSS 4.
- Anonymous Blade components for the current M3 Expressive catalogue: buttons and FABs, menus, chips, text fields, selection controls, sliders, pickers, dialogs and sheets, lists, cards, carousels, progress and loading indicators, snackbars, tabs, app bars, toolbars, navigation bars and rails, an adaptive app shell, data tables and pagination.
- A colour scheme generated from one seed colour with Google's colour science (`php artisan material:scheme`), light and dark, and a theme that is chosen before the first paint.
- The full Material Symbols Rounded set and the M3 Expressive shapes, drawn inline without an icon package.
- Error pages and a Markdown mail theme in the same scheme.
- A showcase of every component in the application's own scheme, a design guard for tests, and Laravel Boost guidelines and a skill for AI agents.
No JavaScript libraries beyond the Alpine that ships with Livewire. Browsers: Chrome 125+, Firefox 147+, Safari 18.4+.
## Requirements
PHP 8.4+, Laravel 13, Livewire 4, Tailwind CSS 4 with Vite, and Node (for `material:scheme`).
## Installation
The package is served from Gitea. Add the repository and require it:
```bash
composer config repositories.livewire-material vcs https://gitea.nonameweb.ch/noNameWEB/livewire-material.git
composer require nonameweb/livewire-material
```
### Stylesheet and script
The application's build imports from `vendor/`, so Composer packages must be installed before `npm run build` — in a Dockerfile, copy `composer.json`, run `composer install`, then build the assets.
```css
/* resources/css/app.css */
@import 'tailwindcss';
@import '../../vendor/nonameweb/livewire-material/resources/css/material.css';
@import './material-scheme.css';
@source '../../vendor/nonameweb/livewire-material/resources/views';
@source '../../vendor/nonameweb/livewire-material/src';
```
```js
// resources/js/app.js
import '../../vendor/nonameweb/livewire-material/resources/js/material.js'
```
Do not install Alpine separately; Livewire provides it.
### Layout
The theme script goes in ``, before `@vite`, so the page paints in the visitor's theme:
```blade
@vite(['resources/css/app.css', 'resources/js/app.js'])
{{ $slot }}
```
### Colour scheme
Generate the scheme from a seed colour. It writes `resources/css/material-scheme.css` (imported above) and `material-scheme.json` (read by the mail theme):
```bash
php artisan material:scheme "#4f46e5" --variant=tonal-spot
```
Variants: `tonal-spot`, `vibrant`, `expressive`, `neutral`, `fidelity`, `content`, `monochrome`, `rainbow`, `fruit-salad`. `--spec` is the colour spec: `2025` (M3 Expressive, the default) or `2021` (M3 as it first shipped, for a palette generated before Expressive). `--contrast` runs from -1 to 1; `--success`, `--warning` and `--info` seed the state colours. The stylesheet's header records the command that regenerates it; regenerate instead of editing the file.
#### Colour profiles
To let an installation switch between several schemes, list them as `profiles` in the config (name ⇒ `label`, `seed`, `variant`, and optionally `contrast`, `spec`, `success`, `warning`, `info`, which otherwise come from the command's options) and run `php artisan material:scheme` without a seed: every profile lands in the same stylesheet under ``. Tell the package which one is active — `Scheme::resolveProfileUsing(fn () => Setting::get('color_profile'))` in a service provider — and the head script, mails and error pages follow it. `` lets someone choose, previewing each profile on the page.
### Configuration
```bash
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=livewire-material-config
```
- `prefix` — components are ``, ``… Set `'m'` when a name clashes with the application's own components, and they become ``. `` always works.
- `theme.default` (`light`, `dark` or `system`), `theme.storage_key`, `theme.legacy_keys` (an earlier toggle's localStorage keys, adopted once).
- `theme.meta` — keep `` (an installed web app's or a mobile browser's bar) on the resolved theme's `surface` and the active colour profile, before the first paint and after every change, `wire:navigate` included; one is added when the page has none (default `false`).
- `profiles`, `profile` — colour profiles and the default one (see Colour profiles).
- `fields.variant` — text fields `outlined` (default) or `filled`.
- `pagination` — draw Laravel's and Livewire's paginators in M3 (default `true`).
- `showcase.enabled`, `showcase.path`, `showcase.middleware`, `showcase.vite`.
- `node` — the Node binary for `material:scheme`.
## Usage
```blade
Recipients lose access at once.
```
```php
use NoNameWeb\LivewireMaterial\Concerns\Toasts;
class Shares extends Component
{
use Toasts;
public function copy(): void
{
$this->success('Link copied');
}
}
```
Every component, prop and slot is documented in the Boost skill (`resources/boost/skills/livewire-material-development/SKILL.md`) and shown in the showcase.
## Showcase
While the application runs locally (or with `MATERIAL_SHOWCASE=true`), `/material` shows every token and component, in every variant, in the application's own scheme and theme: an overview, and a page per section behind a navigation rail (the package's own app shell), with a search over every section, example and component (press `/`).
## Testing the design
```php
use NoNameWeb\LivewireMaterial\Testing\DesignGuard;
it('uses only what compiles', function () {
expect(DesignGuard::scan([resource_path('views'), resource_path('js'), app_path()])
->forbidColours(['tertiary'])
->violations())->toBe([]);
});
```
The guard fails on maryUI tags, daisyUI classes, colours the theme does not declare, unknown Material Symbol names and Blade directives written inside component tags.
## AI agents
With [Laravel Boost](https://github.com/laravel/boost), `php artisan boost:install` (or `boost:update --discover`) picks up the package's guideline and the `livewire-material-development` skill.
## Developing the package
```bash
composer install && npm install
npm run build # the Workbench's assets (or `npm run dev` while working)
composer serve # the showcase at http://127.0.0.1:8000/material
vendor/bin/pest --testsuite=Feature
npx playwright install
vendor/bin/pest --testsuite=Browser --browser chrome # also firefox, safari
```
