Livewire Beacon enables websocket communication for Livewire dramatically improving user experience and enabling more features.

Without Livewire Beacon

Slow or spotty connections have a degraded user-experience while Livewire waits for a full server round-trip for every UI interaction.

Livewire - Throttled Slow 3G

With Livewire Beacon

Even when throttled, the persistent connection over websockets makes for much faster response times, creating a better user experience.

Requirements

This package provides a thin layer that sits on top of Laravel Livewire and Laravel Reverb as the core requirements.

  • Laravel Livewire installed (docs)
  • Laravel Reverb installed (docs)
  • Laravel Echo installed and served on frontend (docs)

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require executable/laravel-livewire-beacon

Next, edit your app's layout to include the Beacon javascript assets. This is best done by adding the Blade directive @livewireBeaconScripts just before the closing body tag.

<!-- resources/views/layouts/app.blade.php -->

    @livewireBeaconScripts
</body>

</html>

Configuration

Livewire Beacon is designed to work seamlessly without further configuration.

If you'd like to modify some internal behaviour of this package, you can publish the config file with:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="laravel-livewire-beacon-config"

Usage

That's it! Continue using Livewire as you would normally, and enjoy significant performance improvements.
