`clearable` empties a date, or both ends of a range, closes an open picker and hands focus back to the field, as the time picker's does. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01V9NnLxnPp8vaaurb3Z1MFy

| livewire-material-development | Build Laravel and Livewire views with Livewire Material's Material 3 Expressive Blade components — props, slots, colour roles, type, shape, motion, theming, toasts, the design guard, and the Livewire traps each component handles. |
Livewire Material Development
When to use this skill
Use this skill when writing or changing any Blade view, Livewire component view or layout in an application that requires nonameweb/livewire-material, and when styling, theming or testing such views.
Setup
Composer packages must be installed before the Vite build (in Dockerfiles and CI alike), because the application's build imports from vendor/:
/* 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';
// resources/js/app.js
import '../../vendor/nonameweb/livewire-material/resources/js/material.js'
Every layout puts the theme script in <head>, before @vite:
<head>
<x-theme-script />
@vite(['resources/css/app.css', 'resources/js/app.js'])
</head>
Colour scheme
The scheme is generated, never hand-edited. Regenerate it with the seed and variant recorded at the top of resources/css/material-scheme.css:
php artisan material:scheme "#4f46e5" --variant=tonal-spot
Variants: tonal-spot (M3's default), vibrant, expressive, neutral, fidelity, content, monochrome, rainbow, fruit-salad. --success, --warning and --info set the source of the state colours; --contrast goes from -1 to 1. The command also writes material-scheme.json beside the stylesheet.
Tokens
Tailwind's default palette is cleared: every colour class names an M3 role. text-red-600, bg-base-200 or text-gray-500 compile to nothing.
- Colour roles (
bg-*,text-*,border-*, …):primary,on-primary,primary-container,on-primary-container,inverse-primary,primary-fixed,primary-fixed-dim,on-primary-fixed,on-primary-fixed-variant; the same forsecondaryandtertiary;error,on-error,error-container,on-error-container;success,warningandinfowith theiron-,-containerandon-…-container;inverse-error|success|warning|info;surface,surface-dim,surface-bright,surface-container-lowest|low||high|highest,on-surface,on-surface-variant,inverse-surface,inverse-on-surface,outline,outline-variant,scrim,shadow; pluswhiteandblack. - Ink and lines by meaning:
text-body(body copy),text-meta(metadata),text-quiet(decoration only),border-structure,border-chrome,border-divider/divide-divider. - Type:
type-{display|headline|title|body|label}-{lg|md|sm}andtype-emphasized-…. Never assembletext-*,leading-*andtracking-*by hand. The font is Google Sans Flex (font-sans). - Shape:
rounded-corner-{none|xs|sm|md|lg|lg-increased|xl|xl-increased|xxl|full}. - Elevation:
shadow-elevation-{1…5}— for what floats over content, not for panels (a panel separates by its container tone). - Motion:
ease-spatial-{fast|default|slow}(position, size, shape; springs that overshoot) andease-effects-{fast|default|slow}(colour, opacity). Always pair an easing with its duration:duration-(--md-sys-motion-spatial-fast-duration) ease-spatial-fast. Reduced motion zeroes the durations. - States:
state-layer(M3's hover/focus/press overlay; makes the elementrelativeandisolate),focus-ring(keyboard focus indicator),link(a link in running text). dark:follows the page's theme (data-theme), not the operating system.x-figureon an element holding one number counts it up on first appearance and on change.
Theme
config/livewire-material.php → theme.default (light, dark or system), theme.storage_key, theme.legacy_keys. In Alpine, $store.theme holds choice (what the visitor picked), resolved (light or dark, what shows), set('light'|'dark'|'system') and toggle(); x-model="$store.theme.value" binds a control.
Toasts
use NoNameWeb\LivewireMaterial\Concerns\Toasts;
class Settings extends Component
{
use Toasts;
public function save(): void
{
// …
$this->success('Settings saved'); // also warning(), error(), info()
$this->info('Link copied', timeout: 6000);
$this->success('Share created', redirectTo: route('shares.show', $share));
}
}
The methods are protected. They dispatch a toast browser event (assertDispatched('toast', type: 'success', title: 'Settings saved') in tests).
Error pages
Laravel's HTTP error pages — 403, 404, 419, 429, 500, 503, and the framework's own 401 and 402 — render in M3 without setup. The provider appends the package's error views to view.paths after the application's, so a file in resources/views/errors/ always wins.
- The pages load
config('livewire-material.showcase.vite')and<x-theme-script />, so they use the app's scheme, font and theme. While the build is missing (a deploy in progress) they fall back to an inline stylesheet coloured fromresources/css/material-scheme.json. abort(403, 'Only the owner can open this share.')andabort(503, '…')show the message as the sentence. Every other string goes through__(); translate them inlang/{locale}.json.- To change wording or design, run
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=livewire-material-errors, which copies the layout and pages toresources/views/errors. A page extendserrors::minimaland setstitle,code,headline,message,shape(an<x-shape>name) and optionallyactions:
@extends('errors::minimal')
@section('title', __('Payment Required'))
@section('code', '402')
@section('shape', 'cookie-4')
@section('headline', __('Your plan has ended'))
@section('message', __('Choose a plan to keep using the app.'))
@section('actions')
<x-button :link="route('billing')" :label="__('Choose a plan')" variant="filled" size="md" no-wire-navigate />
@endsection
- Maintenance mode:
php artisan down --render="errors::503". - The showcase previews each page at
/material/errors/{code}.
Markdown mail (notifications and markdown: mailables) wears M3 once the application selects the theme:
MAIL_MARKDOWN_THEME=livewire-material::mail.theme
or per mail: (new MailMessage)->theme('livewire-material::mail.theme'), or public $theme = 'livewire-material::mail.theme'; on a mailable.
- Colours are the light scheme from
resources/css/material-scheme.json(livewire-material.scheme), inlined as hexes; regenerate the scheme and mail follows. Without the file, the package's default scheme applies. - Write the body as Markdown; the theme styles the bare tags (
#headings, prose, lists, tables) with M3's typescale.<x-mail::button :url="…">is a filled pill inprimary;coloralso takessecondary,tertiary,error,success,warningandinfo.<x-mail::panel>is a tinted container. - There is no dark mail. Never put
@mediarules, CSS variables orcolor-mix()in mail CSS: the inliner strips media queries and mail clients resolve no variables. - The package's mail header (the app name, or a logo) and message (with a replaceable footer) are opt-in: set
MATERIAL_MAIL_COMPONENTS=true, orphp artisan vendor:publish --tag=livewire-material-mailto copy them intoresources/views/vendor/mail. For a logo setlivewire-material.mail.logoto['src' => 'https://example.com/logo.png', 'width' => 160, 'height' => 40]: an absolute URL, with the image at twice those dimensions. - With those components, a mail can replace the footer:
<x-mail::message>
Your export is ready.
<x-slot:footer>
© {{ date('Y') }} {{ config('app.name') }} · [Unsubscribe]({{ $unsubscribeUrl }})
</x-slot:footer>
</x-mail::message>
- The showcase renders a sample mail at
/material/mail.
Components
<x-icon>
A Material Symbol (Rounded, weight 400, grade 0, 24px), inline. Every symbol on fonts.google.com/icons exists, by Google's name with underscores. An unknown name throws.
| Prop | Default | |
|---|---|---|
name |
required | calendar_month, cloud_upload, content_copy |
filled |
false |
the filled symbol — M3 uses it for active or selected |
label |
null |
names the icon for screen readers when it carries the meaning alone; otherwise it is aria-hidden |
24px (size-6) unless a size-*, w-* or h-* class is passed. Colour follows the text: <x-icon name="lock" class="size-5 text-on-surface-variant" />.
<x-shape>
One of M3 Expressive's 35 shapes, filled in the text colour, aria-hidden, sized by its caller: <x-shape name="cookie-9" class="size-40 text-secondary-container" />. Names: circle, square, slanted, arch, fan, arrow, semi-circle, oval, pill, triangle, diamond, clam-shell, pentagon, gem, very-sunny, sunny, cookie-4, cookie-6, cookie-7, cookie-9, cookie-12, ghostish, clover-4, clover-8, burst, soft-burst, boom, soft-boom, flower, puffy, puffy-diamond, pixel-circle, pixel-triangle, bun, heart.
<x-theme-script>
The theme decided before the first paint. Exactly once per layout, in <head>, before @vite. No props; configured in config/livewire-material.php.
<x-button>
Label button, icon button, toggle and responsive FAB in one component.
| Prop | Default | |
|---|---|---|
label / slot |

color (alias tone) |
primary |
primary, secondary, tertiary, error, success, warning, info |
primary, danger, caution |
shorthands: filled primary, filled error, filled warning | |

Material Symbol names | |
width |
default |
icon buttons only: narrow, default, wide |
selected |
null |
true/false makes it a toggle (aria-pressed, selected colours and shape) |
link, external, no-wire-navigate |
renders <a>, with wire:navigate unless external |
|
spinner |
true shows the loading indicator while its wire:click runs; a string names the action |
|
tooltip, tooltip-left, tooltip-right, tooltip-bottom |
plain tooltip; also the icon button's accessible name | |
disabled, type, responsive, fab |
responsive hides the label below lg; fab is an extended FAB below sm, a filled button above |
<x-button label="Create link" icon="link" variant="filled" size="md" wire:click="create" spinner />
<x-button icon="delete" tooltip="Delete share" wire:click="delete({{ $share->id }})" />
<x-button icon="favorite" aria-label="Keep" variant="tonal" :selected="$kept" wire:click="toggleKeep" />
<x-tooltip>
M3's plain tooltip, standalone around any trigger: <x-tooltip text="Copy link" side="bottom"><button>…</button></x-tooltip>. side: top (default), bottom, left, right. Shows on hover (fine pointers) and keyboard focus; aria-hidden, so the trigger still needs its own accessible name. Buttons and FABs take a tooltip prop instead.
<x-menu>, <x-menu-item>, <x-menu-group>, <x-menu-separator>
<x-menu label="Share actions" position="bottom-end">
<x-slot:trigger>
<x-button icon="more_vert" tooltip="More" />
</x-slot:trigger>
<x-menu-group label="Sort by">
<x-menu-item label="Newest" :selected="$sort === 'newest'" wire:click="$set('sort', 'newest')" keep-open />
</x-menu-group>
<x-menu-separator />
<x-menu-item label="Settings" icon="settings" link="{{ route('settings') }}" />
<x-menu-item label="Delete" icon="delete" wire:click="delete" description="Recipients lose access" shortcut="⌘⌫" />
</x-menu>
<x-menu>: trigger slot (its first button or link becomes the menu button), label, position (bottom-start default, bottom-end, top-start, top-end), vibrant. <x-menu-item>: label, icon, icon-right, description, shortcut, link, external, selected (makes it a menuitemcheckbox), disabled, keep-open. Choosing an item closes the menu unless keep-open. Keyboard: arrows, Home, End, a letter, Escape (focus returns to the trigger), Tab.
<x-button-group>
A row of <x-button>s: <x-button-group label="View" size="md">…</x-button-group>. connected sets them 2px apart with small inner corners (a selected toggle rounds fully). Pass the size of the buttons inside.
<x-group>
A choice between a few options as a connected button group of native radios (checkboxes with multiple):
<x-group label="Expires after" wire:model.live="expiry" :options="[
['id' => '1h', 'name' => '1 hour'],
['id' => '1d', 'name' => '1 day', 'icon' => 'today'],
['id' => '7d', 'name' => '7 days', 'disabled' => true],
]" hint="Recipients lose access after that" />
Props: label, hint, name (required with x-model), options, option-value (id), option-label (name), option-icon (icon), size, variant (tonal, filled, outlined), multiple, inline (intrinsic width instead of sharing the row). A validation error for the bound property replaces the hint.
<x-split-button>
<x-split-button label="Download all" icon="download" wire:click="downloadZip" menu-label="Download options">
<x-menu-item label="Download files one by one" wire:click="downloadEach" />
</x-split-button>
Attributes go to the leading button; the slot is the menu. variant (filled default, tonal, outlined, elevated), color, size, disabled, spinner, menu-label, position.
<x-fab>
<x-fab icon="add" tooltip="New share" /> — size sm 56px (default), md 80px, lg 96px; with label it is an extended FAB. color primary/secondary/tertiary, drawn in the container, or variant="filled". It does not position itself; wrap it (<div class="fixed end-4 bottom-4">). link, external, disabled, type.
<x-fab-menu>, <x-fab-menu-item>
<div class="fixed end-4 bottom-4">
<x-fab-menu label="New">
<x-fab-menu-item label="Upload files" icon="upload_file" wire:click="uploadFiles" />
<x-fab-menu-item label="Paste text" icon="content_paste" link="{{ route('paste') }}" />
</x-fab-menu>
</div>
Two to six items open above the FAB, which turns into a close button. <x-fab-menu>: icon (add), label, color, position (top-end default). Give items the same color. Keyboard as <x-menu>.
<x-loading>
M3 Expressive's loading indicator — a shape morphing through seven Expressive shapes as it turns — for a wait of unknown length. 48px and primary unless sized or coloured by class; contained sets it on a primary-container circle. A progressbar named by label ("Loading"); :label="false" makes it decorative. It rests under reduced motion.
<x-loading />
<x-loading contained class="size-8" label="Uploading" />
<div wire:loading.flex wire:target="upload"><x-loading /></div>
<x-button spinner> shows a decorative one in place of its icon.
<x-toast>
The snackbar host. Once per layout, near the end of <body>: <x-toast /> (position="bottom-start" to leave the centre free). It is @persisted across wire:navigate and shows, one at a time, every toast from the Toasts concern (see Toasts above) or from JavaScript:
materialToast('Share deleted', { type: 'success', description: null, timeout: 4000, action: { label: 'Undo', handler: () => $wire.restore() } })
type (success, error, warning, info) adds the state icon; timeout: 0 keeps it until dismissed; a toast with an action or no timeout gets a close button. Hover or focus pauses the timer.
<x-progress>
M3 Expressive's progress indicator: linear (as wide as its container) or circular (40px, 48px wavy, unless a size-* class is passed), flat or wavy, determinate with a value or indeterminate without one.
| Prop | Default | |
|---|---|---|
value |
null |
0 to max, clamped; null is indeterminate |
max |
100 |
|
bind |
null |
an Alpine expression it follows in the browser; null/undefined is indeterminate |
circular |
false |
circular instead of linear |
wavy |
false |
Expressive's wave (flat below 10% and from 95%) |
thick |
false |
8px track and indicator instead of 4px |
color |
primary |
primary, secondary, tertiary, error, success, warning, info; the track is the colour's container (secondary-container for primary) |
label |
"Progress" |
names the progressbar; :label="false" makes it decorative |
<x-progress :value="$share->uploaded" :max="$share->size" label="Uploading" />
<x-progress circular wavy label="Preparing the download" />
<div x-data="{ progress: null }" x-on:livewire-upload-progress="progress = $event.detail.progress" x-on:livewire-upload-finish="progress = null">
<input type="file" wire:model="file">
<div x-show="progress !== null"><x-progress bind="progress" wavy label="Uploading" /></div>
</div>
A value the server changes animates after a morph (the SVG is wire:ignore; only the root's attributes change). Under reduced motion values jump, the wave stands still and an indeterminate indicator holds one frame. A w-* class narrows a linear one; never pass a display or position class.
<x-badge>
<x-badge />— M3's small badge, a dot.<x-badge value="4" max="99" />— M3's large badge, a count. Botherrorby default.floatingpins it to the top-end corner of arelativeparent:<span class="relative inline-flex"><x-icon name="mail" /><x-badge value="4" floating /></span>. A dot or count isaria-hiddenunless it has alabel; name the control instead ("Messages, 4 unread").<x-badge value="Expired" tonal />,<x-badge value="Active" color="success" tonal />,<x-badge value="Pro" outline />— a status label (not an M3 badge) in the colour's container or a neutral edge.color(aliastone):errordefault,primary,secondary,tertiary,success,warning,info.
<x-alert>
A notice in the page, in the state's container colour with its icon:
<x-alert title="Storage almost full" description="3.8 GB of 4 GB used." color="warning" />
<x-alert color="error" dismissible>
The upload failed.
<x-slot:actions><x-button label="Try again" wire:click="retry" /></x-slot:actions>
</x-alert>
color (alias tone): info (default), success, warning, error, primary, secondary, tertiary, neutral. icon overrides the state icon; :icon="false" removes it. Errors and warnings are role="alert", the rest role="status".
<x-rich-tooltip>
A few lines of context around a trigger, with an optional title and actions slot:
<x-rich-tooltip title="Expiry" text="Recipients lose access after this time.">
<x-button icon="help" aria-label="About expiry" />
</x-rich-tooltip>
Shows on hover and keyboard focus; persistent opens it on press and keeps it until a press elsewhere or Escape (use it when there are actions). side: bottom (default), top, left, right.
<x-stat>
<x-stat title="Shares" value="1,204" icon="link" description="12 this week" /> — a figure on a surface-container panel; the value counts up on first appearance and when it changes. The slot goes under the description (e.g. a quota's <x-progress>). Do not pass a bg-* class; wrap it.
<x-empty-state>
"Nothing here yet": icon on an Expressive shape (cookie-9 by default), title, description or slot, and an actions slot. Use it for an empty collection, not for a filter that matched nothing.
<x-card>
variant: filled (default, surface-container-highest), elevated, outlined; medium corner. Props title, subtitle, separator; slots figure (full-bleed media), menu (top-end), actions (end-aligned). Do not pass bg-*; use variant.
A card or list item that opens something is a row: data-list-row on it and data-list-open on its one opener (the title link or a button). A press anywhere else on the row reaches the opener; its other controls keep their own presses. Never wrap a card in <a> or use a stretched link.
<x-card variant="outlined" data-list-row wire:key="share-{{ $share->id }}">
<a href="{{ route('shares.show', $share) }}" data-list-open wire:navigate class="type-title-md">{{ $share->name }}</a>
<x-slot:actions><x-button label="Copy link" wire:click="copy({{ $share->id }})" /></x-slot:actions>
</x-card>
<x-list>, <x-list-item>
<x-list>: label, dividers, segmented (M3 Expressive: separate tiles 2px apart). <x-list-item>: title (or slot), overline, description, leading icon / avatar (image URL or initials) / image / leading slot, trailing trailing text / icon-right / end slot, link (the whole item becomes a row that opens it), selected, disabled. One-, two- and three-line heights follow from the content.
<x-list segmented label="Files">
@foreach ($files as $file)
<x-list-item :title="$file->name" :description="$file->size" icon="description" wire:key="file-{{ $file->id }}">
<x-slot:end><x-button icon="download" tooltip="Download" wire:click="download({{ $file->id }})" /></x-slot:end>
</x-list-item>
@endforeach
</x-list>
<x-divider>
<x-divider /> — outline-variant line; vertical, inset (16px start), middle, decorative (hidden from assistive tech).
<x-collapse>
A disclosure on native <details>: <x-collapse title="Advanced" icon="tune" open variant="filled">…</x-collapse> (variant plain or filled; heading slot for rich titles). Keeps its state through a morph.
<x-modal>
An M3 dialog on native <dialog>. Bind with wire:model to a flag or an id; closing (Escape, scrim, close()) writes back false or null. Without wire:model it uses open from the surrounding Alpine scope.
<x-modal wire:model="deletingId" title="Delete this share?" subtitle="Recipients lose access at once." icon="delete">
<x-slot:actions>
<x-button label="Cancel" x-on:click="close()" />
<x-button label="Delete" danger wire:click="delete" />
</x-slot:actions>
</x-modal>
Props: title, subtitle, icon (centred hero icon), separator, persistent (no Escape or scrim), fullscreen (whole screen below sm, for forms), box-class. Never remove its wire:ignore.self behaviour by re-rendering it conditionally with @if; toggle the bound property instead.
<x-drawer>
An M3 side sheet, bound like <x-modal>; close() in scope. Props: title, subtitle, separator, side (end default, start), width (25rem), with-close-button, close-on-escape (default true), without-backdrop-close, actions slot. pane (with pane-width) turns it into a list-detail pane from xl: render it after the list inside <div class="xl:flex xl:items-start xl:gap-6">. Its body is a size container — lay out inside with @md: etc., not sm:.
<x-bottom-sheet>
An M3 bottom sheet, bound like <x-modal>: modal by default (scrim, inert page, drag the handle down or press Escape to close), standard for one that is part of the page. Props: title, height (90dvh), actions slot.
<x-carousel>, <x-carousel-item>
<x-carousel label="Recent uploads" item-width="220">
@foreach ($photos as $photo)
<x-carousel-item :label="$photo->title" wire:key="photo-{{ $photo->id }}">
<img src="{{ $photo->url }}" alt="{{ $photo->alt }}" />
</x-carousel-item>
@endforeach
</x-carousel>
A row of items that change size between M3's keylines as it scrolls (native scroll snap; items are masked, content keeps its size). <x-carousel>: layout (multi-browse default, hero, uncontained, full-screen), item-width (px or any CSS length; the large size multi-browse aims for, the fixed size uncontained keeps, the cap for hero; 186 by default), height (205px), padding (px at the ends, 0), centered (hero), label (the region's name, "Carousel" by default), controls (previous/next buttons: default fine pointers only, true always, false never). <x-carousel-item>: slot is an <img> (fills and crops) or an element sized size-full; label overlays a line of text. A focusable region of slide groups named "n of m"; arrow keys move one item while the row has focus, Home/End to the ends. Works after a Livewire morph, in RTL and under reduced motion. Give items a wire:key in a loop.
<x-chip>
One component for M3's four chips, picked by type:
type |
What it is | Element |
|---|---|---|
assist (default) |
an action | <button>, or <a> with link |
filter |
a toggle | a native checkbox under the chip with wire:model, x-model or name; otherwise a <button aria-pressed> whose selected you own |
input |
something a person entered | its own button only with wire:click, x-on:click, link or selected; a remove button with removable |
suggestion |
a suggested reply or query | <button> |
Props: label / slot, icon, icon-right, elevated (not on input chips), disabled, link, external, no-wire-navigate, selected (filter and input), name / value (a filter checkbox; an input chip's hidden input, value defaulting to the label), avatar (input: image URL or initials), removable, remove (input: an Alpine expression), tooltip. On a filter checkbox and an input chip, class, style and wire:key stay on the chip and every other attribute goes to the control inside.
<x-chip label="Add to calendar" icon="event" wire:click="addToCalendar" />
<x-chip-set label="File types" hint="Show only these" error-field="kinds">
@foreach ($kindOptions as $kind => $name)
<x-chip type="filter" :label="$name" :value="$kind" wire:model.live="kinds" wire:key="kind-{{ $kind }}" />
@endforeach
</x-chip-set>
<x-chip type="filter" label="Starred" icon="star" :selected="$starredOnly" wire:click="$toggle('starredOnly')" />
@foreach ($recipients as $recipient)
<x-chip type="input" :label="$recipient->email" :avatar="$recipient->initials" removable wire:remove="removeRecipient({{ $recipient->id }})" wire:key="recipient-{{ $recipient->id }}" />
@endforeach
- A multi-select set binds
wire:modelon every chip, each with its ownvalue, to an array property; a boolean property needs novalue. The chips render checked as the property already says. - A removable input chip removes through
wire:remove(it becomes the remove button'swire:click),remove(Alpine), or, with neither, takes itself off the page. Backspace or Delete on a focused chip removes it and moves focus to the previous or next chip; the remove button is named "Remove ". Give each one awire:key.
<x-chip-set>
A row of chips 8px apart that wraps, as role="group": label (shown, and names the group; otherwise pass aria-label), hint, error-field (a validation message for that property or its items replaces the hint), scroll (one line that scrolls sideways, fading the edge it can still scroll towards).
<x-form>
A one-column grid of fields with an actions slot at the foot (the slot takes its own class); separator draws a divider above the actions.
<x-form wire:submit="save">
<x-input label="Share name" wire:model="name" required />
<x-select label="Expires after" wire:model="hours" :options="$expiryOptions" />
<x-slot:actions>
<x-button label="Cancel" wire:click="cancel" />
<x-button label="Create share" variant="filled" type="submit" spinner="save" />
</x-slot:actions>
</x-form>
<x-field>, <x-input>, <x-password>, <x-textarea>, <x-select>, <x-file>
M3 text fields. variant: outlined or filled; without it, config('livewire-material.fields.variant') (outlined). All take label, hint, variant, and read their errors from the bag under the wire:model name (the error replaces the hint, sets aria-invalid). class lands on the field's outer element (margins, widths); every other attribute (wire:model, type, required, readonly, autocomplete) reaches the control.

<x-toggle label="Notify me on download" wire:model.live="notify" right />
<x-slider>
M3 Expressive's slider on native <input type="range">s (one per handle), so the arrow keys, Home, End, forms and screen readers work as on a plain range; PageUp and PageDown move a tenth of the steps (1 to 10). A press anywhere on the slider moves the nearest handle there. Without JavaScript the native range shows, and posts.

Other attributes go to the input(s). A wire:model.live slider sends while it is dragged, and a server render never moves a handle under the pointer (the drawing is wire:ignore); a value the server sets moves the handle after the morph. The binding gets .number, so values arrive as numbers. Its width is the container's unless a w-* class is passed.
<x-datepicker>
M3 date pickers on a text field. wire:model stores Y-m-d strings (x-model without Livewire).
<x-datepicker label="Expires on" wire:model.live="expiresOn" :min="now()" :max="now()->addMonth()" />
<x-datepicker label="Birthday" mode="modal" wire:model="birthday" :max="now()" />

Picking in the calendar is a draft; OK or Enter on a day keeps it, Cancel or Escape does not. A typed date is the value once it is whole and allowed; otherwise the field says why. Month and weekday names, the week's first day and the typed format follow app()->getLocale(). Keyboard: arrows, Home/End (week), PageUp/PageDown (month; with Shift, year), Space, Enter, Escape. min and max are read when the picker starts: when they change on the server, give the component a wire:key that changes with them. required, disabled and readonly reach the text field.
<x-timepicker>
M3's time picker in a modal dialog, opened from a read-only text field (a press, Enter, Space, ArrowDown or its clock icon). The dial picks the hour, then the minutes, by press or drag; a 24-hour clock puts 12–23 on the inner ring. The keyboard icon switches to two text fields. The arrow keys change the focused dial's value, Home and End go to the ends, Enter confirms; Escape, Cancel or the scrim close it unchanged and give focus back to the field. In a landscape window the dial lies on its side.
<x-timepicker label="Starts at" wire:model="startsAt" />
<x-timepicker label="Appointment" wire:model.live="appointmentAt" format="24" step="15" min="08:00" max="17:30" clearable />

Errors under the wire:model name replace the hint. The dialog is wire:ignore: a Livewire render leaves an open picker open with its draft. Never name a Livewire property $slot: it renders empty in the component's view.
<x-choices>
Choosing from a list, with typed values (an array of integers stays integers). options (id, name, disabled; option-value, option-label), label, hint, single. Errors for the property and its items replace the hint.
- Default: filter chips, every option on screen —
singlefor choice chips. searchable: a text field that filters a menu as you type (single value; arrow keys, Enter, Escape);icon,variant,placeholder. Its list is a popover, so it is never clipped by a card.
<x-choices label="Days you are free" wire:model.live="days" :options="$weekdays" />
<x-choices label="Time zone" wire:model="timezone" :options="$timezones" searchable icon="public" />
Bind with wire:model (entangled) or, without Livewire, x-model. The options are baked into its Alpine state: when they change on the server, give it a wire:key that changes with them.
<x-search>
M3 search bar that opens into a search view: docked under the bar from sm, full screen with a back arrow below (docked keeps it docked). Bind the input like any other and render the results in the slot; empty is shown when the slot renders nothing. Choosing a result (a link or button) closes the view; ArrowDown walks the results, Escape closes. Props: placeholder ("Search"), label, icon; trailing slot (avatar, icon buttons).
<x-search wire:model.live.debounce.300ms="query" placeholder="Search shares">
@foreach ($this->results as $share)
<x-list-item :title="$share->name" :description="$share->size" link="{{ route('shares.show', $share) }}" wire:key="result-{{ $share->id }}" />
@endforeach
<x-slot:empty>No shares match.</x-slot:empty>
</x-search>
The docked view overlaps what is under it; never place a search inside an element with overflow-hidden (a card), which clips it.
<x-app-shell>
The adaptive app shell, a whole layout's body: a navigation bar below sm, a collapsed rail that opens as a modal to lg, an expanded rail the visitor can collapse from lg, the page as <main id="content" wire:transition.navigate> behind a skip link, and the snackbar host (do not add another <x-toast />). It needs <x-theme-script /> in <head>.
<x-app-shell :destinations="[
['title' => 'Shares', 'icon' => 'folder_shared', 'url' => route('shares.index'), 'active' => request()->routeIs('shares.*'), 'badge' => $expiringCount],

Below
smnothing opens it but$store.rail.show(), so a page whose destinations are not all in the bar needs a menu button in its app bar (hidden fromsm). - Below
smthe shell sets--material-bottom-bar, so the snackbar and afabbutton clear the bar; pad anything else you pin to the bottom with it. - The content region is
max-lg:overflow-x-clip. Never make a page wrapperoverflow-x-hidden: it turns the region into a scroll container and breaks everystickyinside.
<x-navigation-bar>, <x-navigation-bar-item>
M3 Expressive's flexible navigation bar, for three to five destinations. It does not position itself; wrap it (<x-app-shell> does):
<div class="fixed inset-x-0 bottom-0 z-30 sm:hidden">
<x-navigation-bar>
<x-navigation-bar-item label="Shares" icon="folder_shared" link="{{ route('shares.index') }}" :active="request()->routeIs('shares.*')" badge="3" />
<x-navigation-bar-item label="Upload" icon="upload" link="{{ route('upload') }}" />
</x-navigation-bar>
</div>
64px in surface-container with the bottom safe area under it. Narrower than 600px the icon sits in a 56×32 indicator over the label; from 600px (the bar's own width) icon and label share a 40px pill and the items gather in the middle. <x-navigation-bar>: label ("Main"). <x-navigation-bar-item>: label / slot, icon, link (with wire:navigate unless external or no-wire-navigate; without a link it is a button), active (aria-current="page", filled icon, secondary-container indicator), badge (true for a dot, a number for a count, 999+ at most), badge-label (what a screen reader hears instead of ", 3").
<x-navigation-rail>, <x-navigation-rail-item>, <x-navigation-rail-section>
M3 Expressive's navigation rail: collapsed (96px, icon over label) or expanded (a 56px full-width pill, icon beside label, count at the end).

<x-app-bar>
M3 Expressive top app bar, sticky by default (:sticky="false" to scroll away), turning surface-container once content scrolls under it. variant: small (default), center, medium and large (a big title that collapses into the row as the page scrolls — CSS sticky, no layout shift), search (put an <x-search> in the slot). Props: title, subtitle, heading (h1 default). Slots: navigation (leading icon button), actions (trailing icon buttons, avatar).
<x-app-bar variant="medium" title="Recipients" subtitle="3 people">
<x-slot:navigation><x-button icon="arrow_back" tooltip="Back" :link="route('shares.index')" /></x-slot:navigation>
<x-slot:actions><x-button icon="person_add" tooltip="Add recipient" wire:click="add" /></x-slot:actions>
</x-app-bar>
A collapsing bar needs the window to scroll: no ancestor with overflow-hidden/overflow-auto (overflow-x-clip is fine).
<x-toolbar>
M3 Expressive toolbar, role="toolbar" (arrow keys move between controls). variant: floating (default pill at elevation 3; vibrant, vertical) or docked (full-width surface-container bar). place: bottom or end to fix it over the page; fab slot sets a FAB beside a floating toolbar; label names it.
<x-toolbar label="Selection" place="bottom" vibrant>
<x-button icon="download" tooltip="Download" wire:click="download" />
<x-button icon="delete" tooltip="Delete" wire:click="delete" />
<x-slot:fab><x-fab icon="add" tooltip="New share" /></x-slot:fab>
</x-toolbar>
<x-tabs>, <x-tab>
M3 tabs with a server-rendered tablist (arrow keys, Home/End, disabled tabs skipped, the indicator moves in a view transition). tabs: ['name', 'label', 'icon', 'badge', 'disabled']; panels are <x-tab name> in the slot. Bind with wire:model (entangled), or selected / x-model without Livewire. variant primary (default) or secondary; stacked (icon over label), scrollable. Give two identical tab sets on one page distinct ids.
<x-tabs wire:model.live="tab" :tabs="[['name' => 'files', 'label' => 'Files'], ['name' => 'people', 'label' => 'People', 'badge' => $pending]]">
<x-tab name="files">…</x-tab>
<x-tab name="people">…</x-tab>
</x-tabs>
<x-section-nav>
Navigation between the sections of one area (settings, admin): secondary tabs as links from sm (wrapping onto a grid rather than scrolling), a menu picker below. items: ['title', 'url', 'icon', 'active', 'badge'] — current when active or its url is the request's. label, no-wire-navigate.
<x-account-menu>
An avatar that opens a menu: name, email, avatar (image URL or initials; default the name's initials), items in the slot, a theme item (:theme="false" to drop it), and a footer slot for signing out. label, position.
<x-account-menu :name="auth()->user()->name" :email="auth()->user()->email">
<x-menu-item label="Settings" icon="settings" :link="route('settings')" />
<x-slot:footer>
<form method="POST" action="{{ route('logout') }}">@csrf<x-menu-item label="Sign out" icon="logout" type="submit" /></form>
</x-slot:footer>
</x-account-menu>
<x-theme-toggle>
Switches $store.theme: mode="toggle" (default, light/dark icon button), cycle (light → dark → system), picker (segmented buttons for settings pages). Every toggle on a page shares the store.
<x-table>, <x-sort-header>
A data table: write plain <thead>, <tr>, <th>, <td> inside <x-table> (size="xs" for a dense one); cell utilities (text-end, whitespace-nowrap) always win. Scrolling is yours: wrap it in <div class="overflow-x-auto">. A row that opens something is data-list-row with one data-list-open control; a selected row is aria-selected="true".
<x-sort-header column="size" :sort-by="$sortBy">Size</x-sort-header> sorts through the Livewire property sortBy (['column' => …, 'direction' => 'asc'|'desc']; model names another), with aria-sort.
<div class="overflow-x-auto">
<x-table>
<thead><tr><x-sort-header column="name" :sort-by="$sortBy">Name</x-sort-header><th class="text-end">Size</th></tr></thead>
<tbody>
@foreach ($shares as $share)
<tr data-list-row wire:key="share-{{ $share->id }}">

<td class="text-end tabular-nums">{{ $share->size }}</td>
</tr>
@endforeach
</tbody>
</x-table>
</div>
{{ $shares->links() }}
Pagination: $paginator->links() (Laravel and Livewire, full and simple/cursor) is drawn in M3 — current page in secondary-container, "Page 2 of 7" on a phone. Turn off with config('livewire-material.pagination') = false; published vendor/pagination or vendor/livewire views still win.
Testing the design
use NoNameWeb\LivewireMaterial\Testing\DesignGuard;
it('uses only what compiles', function () {
expect(DesignGuard::scan([resource_path('views'), resource_path('js'), app_path()])
->forbidColours(['tertiary']) // roles this application's rules leave out
->violations())->toBe([]);
});
It fails on maryUI tags, daisyUI classes, colours the theme does not declare, unknown symbol names and Blade directives written inside a component tag (where they do not compile), with path:line for each.
Conventions
- Components are anonymous Blade components:
<x-name>without a prefix, or<x-{prefix}::name>whenconfig('livewire-material.prefix')is set;<x-livewire-material::name>always works. - Write class names out whole. Tailwind cannot compile
'text-'.$toneortype-{{ $size }}, and the design guard cannot read them. - The showcase at
/material(local only,MATERIAL_SHOWCASE=trueto force it) renders every token and component.
Livewire traps
- Blade directives do not compile inside a component tag's attributes:
<x-foo x-show="ok(@js($value))">reaches the browser as literal text. On a component tag use{{ }}and:propbindings, or put the Alpine on a plain element inside the slot. - Never pass
hidden, a display utility or a position (absolute,relative) to a component: it is merged beside the component's own and whichever Tailwind emits last wins. Wrap the component in an element that carries it. A variant that only hides (max-sm:hidden) is safe. $attributes->wire('model')->value()isfalse, notnull, when there is nowire:model, andfilled(false)is true. Normalise with?: null.- End every statement in a multi-line Alpine attribute with
;: an inline@if … @endifinside it swallows the newline after it.
