Fancy Flux

Custom Flux UI components for Laravel Livewire applications.

Installation

Component Prefix Configuration

To avoid naming conflicts with official Flux components or other custom components, you can configure a custom prefix for Fancy Flux components.

Publish the config file:

Configure in config/fancy-flux.php:

Configuration Priority:

Configuration is loaded in this order (later values override earlier ones):

1. Default PHP config (config/fancy-flux.php) - Base defaults
2. Environment variables (.env) - Highest priority, overrides PHP config

Environment Variables (Optional Override):

You can override PHP config with environment variables for environment-specific settings:

Usage Examples:

• No prefix (default): Components available as <flux:carousel>
• With prefix 'fancy': Components available as <fancy:carousel> (and optionally <flux:carousel> if use_flux_namespace is true)

Configuration Options:

• prefix - Custom prefix for components (e.g., "fancy", "custom", "myapp"). Set to null for no prefix.
• use_flux_namespace - When true, components are also available in the flux namespace for backward compatibility. Set to false to use ONLY the prefixed namespace.
• enable_demo_routes - When true, demo routes are loaded from the package at /fancy-flux-demos/*. Set to false to publish and customize routes yourself.

Why use a prefix?

• Avoid conflicts: If Flux releases an official carousel component, your prefixed version won't conflict
• Multiple packages: If you use multiple custom Flux component packages, prefixes prevent conflicts
• Clear ownership: Makes it clear which components are from Fancy Flux vs official Flux

Requirements

• PHP 8.2+
• Laravel 10+ / 11+ / 12+
• Livewire 3.7+ / 4.0+

You can also add custom AI guidelines for Fancy Flux by creating a .ai/guidelines/fancy-flux.md file in your application. This allows you to customize how AI assistants understand and use Fancy Flux components in your specific project context.

Upgrade Guide

General Upgrade Steps

1. Update via Composer:

2. Clear caches:

3. Review changelog: Check CHANGELOG.md for version-specific changes

4. Test your application: Verify all components work as expected

Upgrading to 1.0.8+

New Feature: Component Prefix Configuration

Version 1.0.8 introduces optional component prefix configuration to avoid naming conflicts. This is backward compatible - existing code will continue to work without changes.

Optional: Configure a Prefix

If you want to use a custom prefix (recommended for new projects):

1. Publish the config file:

2. Set prefix in config/fancy-flux.php:

3. Clear config cache:

No Action Required

If you don't configure a prefix, components continue to work exactly as before:

• <flux:carousel> - Still works
• <flux:color-picker> - Still works
• <flux:emoji-select> - Still works

Migration Path (Optional)

If you want to migrate to a prefixed namespace:

1. Set FANCY_FLUX_PREFIX and keep FANCY_FLUX_USE_FLUX_NAMESPACE=true
2. Gradually update templates to use the prefixed version
3. Once all templates are updated, optionally set FANCY_FLUX_USE_FLUX_NAMESPACE=false

See Prefix Configuration for detailed migration steps.
