The world of web development offers a rich tapestry of JavaScript frameworks, each with its own strengths and quirks. This diversity, while empowering, can lead to dilemmas when choosing the best tool for specific components within a project. Enter MingleJS, a library that seamlessly integrates Vue and React components into Livewire or Filament applications. Developed by Joao Patricio, MingleJS is a boon for developers working with landing pages or complex components that demand the unique capabilities of Vue or React. It also provides a bridge for gradual adoption of Livewire and facilitates the utilization of third-party components from the vast Vue and React ecosystems.
Under the Hood: How MingleJS Operates
MingleJS employs a server-side rendering approach, followed by client-side component mounting. Livewire components on the server render each JS component, resulting in isolated JavaScript interactivity on the front-end, encapsulated within the Livewire component. This mechanism allows the backend to transmit data seamlessly to the front-end components.
Illustrating MingleJS in Action
Let's dive into a practical example showcasing the implementation of MingleJS within a Livewire component:
namespace App\Livewire;
use Ijpatricio\Mingle\Concerns\InteractsWithMingles;
use Ijpatricio\Mingle\Contracts\HasMingles;
use Livewire\Component;
class ChatApp extends Component implements HasMingles
{
use InteractsWithMingles;
public function component(): string
{
return 'resources/js/ChatApp/index.js';
}
public function mingleData()
{
return [
'message' => 'Message in a bottle 🍾',
];
}
// ...
}
A Mingle component comprises three core elements:
A Livewire component incorporating the InteractsWithMingles trait.
A JavaScript file serving as the "glue" between Livewire and the front-end component.
The front-end component file itself.
Below is an example of a Mingle component utilizing React:
// resources/js/ChatApp/index.js
import mingle from '@mingle/mingleReact'
import ChatApp from './ChatApp.jsx'
mingle('resources/js/ChatApp/index.js', ChatApp)
// resources/js/ChatApp/ChatApp.jsx
import React from 'react'
function ChatApp({wire, …props}) {
const message = props.mingleData.message
console.log(message) // 'Message in a bottle 🍾'
wire.doubleIt(2)
.then(data => {
console.log(data) // 4
})
return (
{/* */}
)
}
