What is wire:error?
Livewire makes it straightforward to notify users if they lose their internet connection. Here’s how you can implement it:
<div wire:offline>
You are now offline. Please check your internet connection.
</div>
This simple snippet will hide the message by default and display it only when the user’s browser goes offline. Once the connection is restored, the message will disappear automatically.
Explanation:
- The wire:offline directive is attached to a <div> element.
- This element will be hidden when the user has an internet connection and will become visible when the connection is lost.
Use Case:
This can be particularly useful in applications where real-time interactions are critical, like live chat apps, or when users are filling out forms, ensuring they know their actions won’t be saved until connectivity is restored.
Additional Tips:
- You can style this message with CSS for better visibility, perhaps using a distinct background color or a large font.
- Combine this with other Livewire directives like wire:loading for a comprehensive user experience, informing users about both their connection status and ongoing actions.
<p class="alert alert-warning" wire:offline>
Whoops, your device has lost connection. The web page you are viewing is offline.
