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:

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.

/* 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'

Do not install Alpine separately; Livewire provides it.

Importing the package's CSS replaces parts of Tailwind's theme with M3's, so some default utilities no longer compile. Breakpoints are the most visible: they are M3's window size classes and only those — medium: 600px, expanded: 840px, large: 1200px and extra-large: 1600px, with max-medium: and friends for "below", compact being everything under medium. Tailwind's sm:…2xl: are cleared, so an sm:grid-cols-2 left over from another project compiles to nothing; rewrite it as medium:grid-cols-2. The same goes for the default radius, shadow, text-size, weight, leading, tracking and easing scales, which the M3 sets (rounded-corner-*, shadow-elevation-*, type-*, ease-spatial-*) replace. Scripts that need a window size class import from() / upTo() from the package's resources/js/breakpoints.js rather than writing their own media query.

Layout

The theme script goes in <head>, before @vite, so the page paints in the visitor's theme:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="{{ str_replace('_', '-', app()->getLocale()) }}">
    <head>
        <meta charset="utf-8" />
        <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" />
        <x-theme-script />
        @vite(['resources/css/app.css', 'resources/js/app.js'])
    </head>
    <body class="bg-surface font-sans text-on-surface antialiased">
        {{ $slot }}
        <x-toast />
    </body>
</html>

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):

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 <html data-scheme>. 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. <x-scheme-picker wire:model="colorProfile" /> lets someone choose, previewing each profile on the page.

Configuration

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=livewire-material-config

prefix — components are <x-button>, <x-card>… Set 'm' when a name clashes with the application's own components, and they become <x-m::button>. <x-livewire-material::button> 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 <meta name="theme-color"> (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

<x-card title="holiday-photos.zip" subtitle="248 MB · expires in 3 days" variant="outlined">
    <x-slot:actions>
        <x-button label="Copy link" icon="content_copy" wire:click="copy" />
        <x-button label="Delete" danger wire:click="$set('confirming', true)" />
    </x-slot:actions>
</x-card>

<x-modal wire:model="confirming" title="Delete this share?" icon="delete">
    Recipients lose access at once.
    <x-slot:actions>
        <x-button label="Cancel" x-on:click="close()" />
        <x-button label="Delete" danger wire:click="delete" />
    </x-slot:actions>
</x-modal>

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

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. It also fails on everything 2.0 cleared, and every line names the replacement: Tailwind's breakpoint prefixes (sm: and md: → medium:, lg: → expanded:, xl: → large:, 2xl: → extra-large:, max- likewise), its radius (rounded-lg → rounded-corner-lg), shadow (shadow-md → shadow-elevation-2), text size, weight, leading and tracking (text-sm, leading-6, tracking-wide → a type-* style, font-medium → a type-emphasized-* style), easing and duration (ease-in-out → ease-standard, duration-300 → a duration-(--md-sys-motion-…-duration) with the easing it pairs with), and a colour written as a value rather than a role (bg-[#1d7afc], text-[rgb(…)], border-[color-mix(…)]).

Two checks are opt-in: forbidAbsolutes() also fails on bg-white and text-black (M3's white is surface-container-lowest), and forbidOpacityInk() on opacity used as emphasis (text-on-surface/60 → text-on-surface-variant or text-outline). M3 reserves 38 % on content and 12 % on a container for the disabled state, which is what the package's own components use them for, so neither is on by default.

AI agents

With Laravel Boost, php artisan boost:install (or boost:update --discover) picks up the package's guideline and the livewire-material-development skill.
