Already familiar with Livewire and want to skip the long-form documentation? Here's a giant list of everything available in Livewire.

### Template Directives {#template-directives}
These are directives added to elements within Livewire component templates.

@component('components.code', ['lang' => 'html'])
<button wire:click="save">...</button>
@endcomponent

@component('components.table')
Directive | Description
--- | ---
`wire:key="foo"` | Acts as a reference point for Livewire's DOM diffing system. Useful for adding/removing elements, and keeping track of lists.
`wire:click="foo"` | Listens for a "click" event, and fires the "foo" method in the component.
`wire:click.prefetch="foo"` | Listens for a "mouseenter" event, and "prefetches" the result of the "foo" method in the component. Then, if it is clicked, will swap in the "prefetched" result (without an extra request), if it's not clicked, will throw away the cached result.
`wire:keydown.enter="foo"` | Listens for a keydown event on the `enter` key, which fires the "foo" method in the component.
`wire:foo="bar"` | Listens for a browser event called "foo". (You can listen for *any* browser DOM event - not just those fired by Livewire).
`wire:model="foo"` | Assuming `$foo` is a public property on the component class, every time an input element with this directive is updated, the property synchronizes with its value.
`wire:model.debounce.100ms="foo"` | Debounces the `input` events emitted by the element every 100 milliseconds.
`wire:model.lazy="foo"` | Lazily syncs the input with its corresponding component property at rest.
`wire:model.defer="foo"` | Deferrs syncing the input with the Livewire property until an "action" is performed. This saves drastically on server roundtrips.
`wire:poll.500ms="foo"` | Runs the "foo" method on the component class every 500 milliseconds.
`wire:init="foo"` | Runs the "foo" method on the component immediately after it renders on the page.
`wire:loading` | Hides the element by default, and makes it visible while network requests are in transit.
`wire:loading.class="foo"` | Adds the `foo` class to the element while network requests are in transit.
`wire:loading.class.remove="foo"` | Removes the `foo` class while network requests are in transit.
`wire:loading.attr="disabled"` | Adds the `disabled="true"` attribute while network requests are in transit.
`wire:dirty` | Hides the element by default, and makes it visible while the element's state is "dirty" (different from what exists on the backend).
`wire:dirty.class="foo"` | Adds the `foo` class to the element while it's dirty.
`wire:dirty.class.remove="foo"` | Removes the `foo` class while the element is dirty.
`wire:dirty.attr="disabled"` | Adds the `disabled="true"` attribute while the element's dirty.
`wire:target="foo"` | Scopes `wire:loading` and `wire:dirty` functionality to a specific action.
`wire:ignore` | Instructs Livewire to not update the element or its children when updating the DOM from a server request. Useful when using third-party JavaScript libraries within Livewire components.
`wire:ignore.self` | The "self" modifier restricts updates to the element itself, but allows modifications to its children.

### Alpine Component Object (`$wire`) {#alpine-component-object}

These are methods and properties available on the `$wire` object provided to Alpine components within a Livewire template. [Read Full Documentation](/docs/2.x/alpine-js)

@component('components.code', ['lang' => 'html'])
<div x-data>
    <span x-show="$wire.showMessage">...</span>

@endcomponent

### JavaScript Hooks {#js-hooks}

These are "hooks" you can listen for in JavaScript. These allow you to hook into very specific parts of a Livewire component's JavaScript lifecycle for third-party packages or deep customizations. The abilities unlocked here are immense. A significant of Livewire's core uses these hooks to provide functionality.

@component('components.code', ['lang' => 'javascript'])
Livewire.hook('component.initialized', component => {
    //
})
@endcomponent

@component('components.table')
Name | Params | Description
--- | --- | ---
`component.initialized` | `(component)` | A new component has been initialized
`element.initialized` | `(el, component)` | A new element has been initialized
`element.updating` | `(fromEl, toEl, component)` | An element is about to be updated after a Livewire request
`element.updated` | `(el, component)` | An element has just been updated from a Livewire request

`message.processed` | `(message, component)` | A message has been fully received and implemented (DOM updates, etc...)
@endcomponent

### Component Class Lifecycle Hooks {#component-class-lifecycle}

These are methods you can declare in your Livewire component classes to run code at specific times in the backend's lifecycle. [Read Full Documentation](/docs/2.x/lifecycle-hooks)

@component('components.code', ['lang' => 'php'])
class ShowPost extends Component
{
    public function mount()
    {
        //
    }
}
@endcomponent

@component('components.table')
Name | Description
--- | ---
`mount(...$params)` | Called when a Livewire component is newed up (think of it like a constructor)
`hydrate()` | Called on subsequent Livewire requests after the component has been hydrated, but before any other action occurs
`hydrateFoo()` | Runs after a property called $foo is hydrated
`dehydrate()` | Called after `render()`, but before the component has been dehydrated and sent to the frontend
`dehydrateFoo()` | Runs before a property called $foo is dehydrated
`updating()` | Runs before any update to the Livewire component's data (Using wire:model, not directly inside PHP)
`updated($field, $newValue)` | Called after a property has been updated
`updatingFoo()` | Runs before a property called $foo is updated
`updatedFoo($newValue)` | Called after the "foo" property has been updated
`updatingFooBar()` | Runs before updating a nested property bar on the $foo property
`updatedFooBar($newValue)` | Called after the nested "bar" key on the "foo" property has been updated
`render()` | Called before "dehydrate" and renders the Blade view for the component
@endcomponent

### Component Class Protected Properties {#component-class-protected-properties}

Livewire provides core functionality through protected properties on a component's class. Most of these have corresponsing methods by the same name if you prefer to return values in a method, rather than declare them as properties.

@component('components.code', ['lang' => 'php'])
class ShowPost extends Component
{
    protected $rules = ['foo' => 'required|min:6'];
}
@endcomponent

@component('components.table')
Name | Description
--- | ---
`$queryString` | Declare which properties to "bind" to the query sting. [Read Docs](/docs/2.x/query-string)
`$rules` | Specify validation rules to be applied to properties when calling `$this->validate()`. [Read Docs](/docs/2.x/input-validation)
`$listeners` | Specify which events you want to listen for emitted by other components. [Read Docs](/docs/2.x/events)
`$paginationTheme` | Specify whether you want to use Tailwind or Bootstrap for you pagination theme. [Read Docs](/docs/2.x/pagination)
@endcomponent

### Component Class Traits {#component-class-traits}

These are traits that unlock additional functionality in a Livewire component. Usually for features that are considered best as "opt-in".

@component('components.code', ['lang' => 'php'])
class ShowPost extends Component
{
    use WithPagination;
}
@endcomponent

@component('components.table')
Name | Description
--- | ---
`WithPagination` | This trait enables Livewire-based pagination instead of Laravel's stock pagination system. [Read Docs](/docs/2.x/pagination)
`WithFileUploads` | This trait enables adding `wire:model` to an input of `type="file"`. [Read Docs](/docs/2.x/file-uploads)
@endcomponent

`$this->resetValidation()` | Reset the currently stored validation errors (clear them)
`$this->fill([...$propertyData])` | Set public property names to provided values in bulk

### PHP Lifecycle Hooks {#php-lifecycle-hooks}

These are hooks provided by Livewire in PHP for listening to lifecycle occurences at a global level (not at a component level). These are used internally to provide a significant portion of Livewire's core functionality, and can be used in ServiceProviders to further extend Livewire yourself.

@component('components.code', ['lang' => 'php'])
Livewire::listen('component.hydrate', function ($component, $request) {
    //
});
@endcomponent

`component.hydrate.subsequent` | `($component, $request)` | Run only AFTER the initial component request
`component.dehydrate` | `($component, $response)` | Run on EVERY component dehydration
