- How do I install pleshkovpa/toasts-livewire in a Laravel application?
- Install it with Composer using composer require pleshkovpa/toasts-livewire. Laravel package auto-discovery should register the service provider, so no manual provider entry is normally needed. After that, include the toast rendering component in your layout as described in the README. Check whether the package publishes views or assets before styling it.
- Does pleshkovpa/toasts-livewire require Bootstrap, or can I use it with Tailwind?
- The package is described as Bootstrap toasts for Laravel Livewire, so it expects Bootstrap's CSS and JavaScript toast markup and behavior. If your app uses Tailwind, you will likely need to override or replace the toast view to match your design system. Confirm the rendering approach in the README before committing to it.
- Which Laravel and Livewire versions does pleshkovpa/toasts-livewire support?
- That must be verified against the package's composer.json, specifically its illuminate/support and livewire constraints. The 1.0 release establishes a stable API but does not by itself guarantee support for every Laravel or Livewire major. Check the declared constraints before adding it to an existing application.
- How do I dispatch success, error, info, and warning toasts from a Livewire component?
- The package provides helpers for dispatching success, error, info, and warning toasts directly from Livewire components. You call the toast method or event from your component action and the rendered toast component picks it up. Exact syntax depends on the package's API, so follow the README examples for your installed version.
- Can I customize the appearance of the toasts?
- Because the package targets Bootstrap toasts with minimal setup, customization usually means publishing or overriding its view and using Bootstrap utility classes. Confirm whether views, config, or assets are publishable in the README. If not, you can wrap or replace the rendered component with your own markup.
- Is pleshkovpa/toasts-livewire stable enough for production use?
- The package has reached a 1.0 release and declares its public API stable, which is a positive signal for a production dependency. Before adopting it, review the changelog, test coverage, open issues, and release cadence, since a 1.0 tag alone does not prove maintenance commitment. Constrain to ^1.0 so patch and minor updates remain compatible.
- How do I upgrade pleshkovpa/toasts-livewire from 0.x to 1.0?
- Treat the move from a 0.x constraint to ^1.0 as a deliberate migration rather than a routine update. Read the changelog and any upgrade guide to see whether breaking changes were bundled into 1.0. If you already use a 0.x version, test the upgrade on a branch with a rollback path before changing composer.json.
- Do I need to publish configuration or assets for this toast package?
- The package is designed for minimal setup, but you should check the README for any publishable config, views, or assets. If publishing is supported, use the vendor:publish command for the relevant tag. If not, configuration is likely handled through component attributes or package defaults.
- How can I test toast notifications in a Livewire component?
- Use Livewire's testing helpers to call the component action and assert the expected toast event or rendered output. If the package dispatches a browser event, assert it with the appropriate Livewire event assertion. You can also assert that the toast text appears in the rendered component after the action.
- What are alternatives to pleshkovpa/toasts-livewire for Laravel Livewire notifications?
- Alternatives include WireUI notifications, Tall Toasts, Filament notifications if you use Filament, or a small custom Livewire event and Blade component. Choose based on whether you want Bootstrap-specific markup, Tailwind styling, or framework-agnostic dispatch. Compare maintenance activity and Laravel version support before switching.
