#What's New

#Enhanced Livewire 4 Component Parsing

The extension now provides better parsing for Livewire 4 components and namespaces, improving how it handles modern Livewire syntax. This enhancement allows the extension to correctly identify and process Livewire 4 component structures, providing better code intelligence across your Livewire applications.

<?php

namespace App\Livewire\Dashboard;

use Livewire\Component;

class UserStats extends Component
{
    // Extension now correctly parses namespaced components
    public function render()
    {
        return view('livewire.dashboard.user-stats');
    }
}

#Livewire Props Support

This release adds autocompletion and intellisense for Livewire props, making it easier to work with component properties. When you define props using the #[Prop] attribute, the extension now provides proper code completion and documentation.

<?php

namespace App\Livewire;

use Livewire\Attributes\Prop;
use Livewire\Component;

class UserCard extends Component
{
    #[Prop]
    public User $user;

    #[Prop]
    public bool $showAvatar = true;

    // Extension provides autocompletion for these props
    public function render()
    {
        return view('livewire.user-card');
    }
}

When using the component in your views, the extension now recognizes these props and provides appropriate suggestions and documentation.

#Blade Component Props

Similar to Livewire props, the extension now provides better support for Blade component props. This includes proper syntax highlighting and intellisense when using the @props directive in your Blade components.

{{-- resources/views/components/alert.blade.php --}}
@props([
    'type' => 'info',
    'dismissible' => false,
    'message'
])

<div class="alert alert-{{ $type }}">
    {{ $message }}

    @if($dismissible)
        <button type="button" class="close">×</button>
    @endif
</div>

The extension now recognizes these prop definitions and provides better code intelligence when working with component attributes.

#Livewire 4 Multi-file Component Support

This release improves code intelligence for Livewire 4's Multi-file component (MFC) support. The extension now better understands and provides suggestions for functional Livewire components, making it easier to work with this modern pattern.
