PowerGrid Configuration

This section covers the PowerGrid config file, along with the configurations for assets and plugins.

Here you will find:

Introduction

Once the installation is complete, you must perform these Essential Configuration steps to start using PowerGrid in your Laravel application.

Essential Configuration

1. Import Javascript Assets

First, import PowerGrid's JavaScript assets.

Add the following code to your project's resources/js/app.js file.

javascript

// resources/js/app.js

import './../../vendor/power-components/livewire-powergrid/dist/powergrid'

2. Choose a CSS theme

PowerGrid provides Tailwind 3 and Bootstrap 5 themes. Tailwind is selected by default.

To use Bootstrap 5, simply change the theme key in the config/livewire-powergrid.php file. Here's an example:

php

// config/livewire-powergrid.php

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Theme
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
*/

'theme' => \PowerComponents\LivewirePowerGrid\Themes\Tailwind::class, 
'theme' => \PowerComponents\LivewirePowerGrid\Themes\Bootstrap5::class,

📝 NOTE

Currently, the following features are exclusive to the Tailwind theme.

3. Import theme Assets

Next, you must import the theme assets in the file resources/js/app.js.

Tailwind

If your project is configured for Tailwind, add the following code.

javascript

// resources/js/app.js

import './../../vendor/power-components/livewire-powergrid/dist/tailwind.css'

Bootstrap 5

If your project is configured for Bootstrap 5, add the following code.

javascript

// resources/js/app.js

import './../../vendor/power-components/livewire-powergrid/dist/bootstrap5.css'

4. Tailwind Configuration

If you are using Tailwind, you may configure the options below.

Dark Mode

To enable Dark Mode, configure the DarkMode class in the file tailwind.config.js as follows.

javascript

// tailwind.config.js

module.exports = {
    darkMode: 'class',
}

JIT Production

If you use Tailwind JIT you must add PowerGrid files in purge inside the file tailwind.config.js:

javascript

// tailwind.config.js

module.exports = {
  content: [
      // ....
      './app/Livewire/**/*Table.php',
      './vendor/power-components/livewire-powergrid/resources/views/**/*.php',
      './vendor/power-components/livewire-powergrid/src/Themes/Tailwind.php'
  ]
  // ....
}

💡 TIP

Read more about Tailwind just-in-time.
If you are already using Tailwind version 3 or greater JIT is enabled by default. So you need to add these files to your tailwind.config.js because otherwise the styles won't apply correctly. Read more here

Presets

PowerGrid uses the slate color by default.

To use a different color, insert the PowerGrid preset in the file tailwind.config.js.

// tailwind.config.js

const colors = require('tailwindcss/colors')

/** @type {import('tailwindcss').Config} */
module.exports = {
    presets: [
        require("./vendor/wireui/wireui/tailwind.config.js"),
        require("./vendor/power-components/livewire-powergrid/tailwind.config.js"), 
    ],
    // optional
    theme: {
        extend: {
            colors: {
                "pg-primary": colors.gray, 
            },
        },
    },
}

💡 TIP

5. Bootstrap Configuration

Currently, there are no specific Bootstrap theme configuration instructions.

6. Next step

🎉 Everything ready!

Now, we can go to the next step and create a PowerGrid Table.

General Configuration

Persist Driver

This section defines how Persist data is stored. By default, information is stored in cookies. You may change this configuration in the key persist_driver in config/livewire-powergrid.php.

Possible Persist Drivers:

Driver	Description
`cookies`	Store data in cookies.
`session`	Store data in the session.

Example:

php

// config/livewire-powergrid.php
    /*
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    | Persisting
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    |
    */

    'persist_driver' => 'cookies',
    'persist_driver' => 'session',

Filter Position Configuration

To configure how filters are displayed, change the value in the key filter in config/livewire-powergrid.php.

Filter	Description	Notes
`inline`	Filters are displayed below the Table Header	-
`outside`	Filters are displayed outside the Table, above the Header	only available for Tailwind theme

Example:

php

// config/livewire-powergrid.php

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Filters
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
*/
    'filter' => 'inline',
    'filter' => 'outside',

New Release Notification

PowerGrid can let you know when a new release is available.

Require composer as a developer dependency, running:

bash

composer require composer/composer --dev

Run powergrid:update

bash

php artisan powergrid:update

Advanced Configuration

Custom Namespace

By default, PowerGrid will create components following the location specified under Livewire's Config Key livewire.class_namespace.

To adjust the configuration, run: php artisan livewire:publish --config to publish the file config/livewire.php.

The example below changes the namespace to "Domain".

php

// config/livewire.php

/*
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Class Namespace
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------
*/

'class_namespace' => 'App\\Livewire',
'class_namespace' => 'Domain',

Now, your Components will be created inside the top /Domain directory.

The next example will create a component ClientList inside the path /Domain/Client/Tables

shell

  > php artisan powergrid:create

 ┌ What is the name of your Table Component? ───────────────────┐
 │ Client\Tables\ClientList                                     │
 └──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

Resulting in:

shell

 ⚡ ClientList was successfully created at [Domain/Client/Tables/ClientList.php].

 💡 include the ClientList component using the tag: <livewire:client.tables.client-list/>

Auto-Discover Models

By default, PowerGrid auto discovers Models living in the directory app/Models/.

If your application is organized in a different architecture (E.g, Domain-Driven Design), you may add other directory paths inside the configuration key livewire-powergrid.auto_discover_models_paths in PowerGrid's configuration file.

The example below adds the main directory /Domain to be scanned for Eloquent Models.

php

// config/livewire-powergrid.php

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Auto-Discover Models
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| PowerGrid will search for Models in the directories listed below.
| These Models be listed as options when you run the
| "artisan powergrid:create" command.
|
*/

'auto_discover_models_paths' => [
    app_path('Models'),
    base_path('Domain'),
],

As a result, when creating a PowerGrid Component, all Models under /Domain will be available in the select list.

shell

 ┌ Select a Model or enter its Fully qualified name. ───────────┐
 ├──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
 │› Domain\Dish\Models\Dish                                     │
 │  Domain\Invoice\Models\Invoice                               │
 │  Domain\User\Models\User                                     │
 └──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

Plugins Configuration

Flatpickr

PowerGrid relies on Flatpickr to render the Datetime Picker Filter and the Date Picker Filter.

To install Flatpickr in your project, run the following command:

shell

npm i flatpickr --save

Then, you must configure your application to load Flatpickr's assets.

Add the following code to your project's resources/js/app.js file.

javascript

// resources/js/app.js

import flatpickr from "flatpickr";

Next, we need to load Flatpickr CSS.

Add the following code to your project's resources/js/app.css file.

css

/* resources/js/app.css */

@import "flatpickr/dist/flatpickr.min.css";

Alternatively, you may import the CSS from the resources/js/app.js file.

javascript

// resources/js/app.js

import 'flatpickr/dist/flatpickr.min.css';

Finally, adjust the language configuration to match your app's locale within the config/livewire-powergrid.php file, specifically in the plugins > flatpickr section.

Example:

php

// config/livewire-powergrid.php

 'plugins' => [
        // ...
        'flatpickr' => [
            // ..
            'locales'   => [
                'pt_BR' => [
                    'locale'     => 'pt',
                    'dateFormat' => 'd/m/Y H:i',
                    'enableTime' => true,
                    'time_24hr'  => true,
                ],
                'us' => [
                    'locale'     => 'us',
                    'dateFormat' => 'm/d/Y',
                    'enableTime' => true,
                    'time_24hr'  => false,
                ],
            ],
        ],
    ],

TomSelect

PowerGrid can use TomSelect to render a Multi Select Filter.

To install TomSelect in your project, run the following command:

shell

npm i tom-select

Then, you must configure your application to load TomSelect's assets.

Add the following code to your project's resources/js/app.js file.

javascript

// resources/js/app.js

import TomSelect from "tom-select";
window.TomSelect = TomSelect

Next, add the following code to your project's resources/js/app.css file.

css

/* resources/js/app.css */

@import "~tom-select/dist/scss/tom-select.bootstrap5";

Finally, configure PowerGrid to use TomSelect as default within the config/livewire-powergrid.php file, specifically in the select > default section. You may also configure Slim's settings inside the select > tom key.

Example:

php

// config/livewire-powergrid.php

'select' => [
    'default' => 'tom', 

       'tom' => [
            'plugins' => [
                'clear_button' => [
                    'title' => 'Remove all selected options',
                ],
            ],
       ,
    ],
],

SlimSelect

PowerGrid can use SlimSelect to render a Multi Select Filter.

To install SlimSelect in your project, run the following command:

shell

npm i slim-select

Then, you must configure your application to load SlimSelect's assets.

Add the following code to your project's resources/js/app.js file.

javascript

// resources/js/app.js

import SlimSelect from 'slim-select'
window.SlimSelect = SlimSelect

Next, add the following code to your project's resources/js/app.css file.

css

/* resources/js/app.css */

@import "~slim-select/dist/slimselect.css";

Finally, configure PowerGrid to use SlimSelect as default within the config/livewire-powergrid.php file, specifically in the select > default section. You may also configure Slim's settings inside the select > slim key.

Example:

php

// config/livewire-powergrid.php

'select' => [
    'default' => 'slim', 

    'slim' => [ 
       'settings' => [
             'alwaysOpen' => false,
       ],
    ],
],
